Sad, lonely and depressed
I've been contemplating posting this for a while, but it's really got to me this weekend. I moved back to dubai about a year ago after splitting with my husband. We used to live here for a couple of years until 2013 that and then moved away for a year until we split up. Since I've been back I've been so alone. I was working in a company and made a couple of good friends there and we used to have fun, but one of them got married earlier this year and we don't meet anymore as he's always busy and the other - well it's complicated! I've moved company about 6 weeks ago so haven't been out with anyone at the new place. I have about 3 ex colleagues (women), who I knew from when I was here before, who I do meet up with and we've become good friends but other than meeting for dinner they're never really interested in doing anything. I made my mistake before when I was here as I didn't make any friends as I had my husband but now I want to go out and enjoy myself and go to events etc and no one of these people is up for going out. I spend my weekends at home watching TV. I guess I don't know how to make friends, and sometimes I think maybe I am the problem and no one really likes me. I always feel like it's me making the effort to arrange to meet up with people and then they cancel or they're all busy with other things. I know I sound self pitying but I don't know what to do. I feel like life is passing me by and everyone is enjoying themselves and I'm just working and coming home and watching TV. How do you make new friends? I do go to a couple of exercise classes, but again, I'm on my own - I go in, exercise and come out again.
