Friends
I have noticed when I get older friends disappear. I am 50 . I don't have friends. I don't chat to anyone apart from mum and daughter. Being alone can get you down. So I listen to music. Anyone else feeling alone at times

I am more alone than that, but rarely think about it. At least you manage to distract yourself with music. 👍️

I have found the same thing @chris50.
The few people I speak to are at work and I dread to think what will happen when I am no longer able to work. I don't have any family or friends and it can really get you down sometimes. At home I listen to the radio a lot which helps.
I have never been very good at maintaining friendships though, so I'm not sure it will change, I'm not good at small talk.

You're definitely not alone, Chris. Many people feel exactly the same way at 50. It’s good that you’re reaching out here - this community is a great place to chat and feel a bit more connected
