Lonely in Another Open Diary refugee

I wish I was the kind of person people actually wanted to spend time with… I’m lonely and I have absolutely NO IDEA how to make friends… church was supposed to do it, but that church is very ‘stick to your own’ and we’ve been there a year now without knowing a single person. :( They’re trying to organise a church social thingy, and I offered to be a host. We have a nice home with plenty of space and we’re close to the church so why not? Several weeks of dithering later I got six names and emailed them to invite them, and only ONE can come. :( I asked for some more names but I feel like throwing in the towel and giving up. I don’t think I’m meant to have friends…

Hmmm… there’s a couple of local sherriffs cars across the street. I just noticed one pull up and there’s a second behind our fence. They had a fairly lengthy discussion with the lady who lives there and then went away leaving her holding a piece of paper and wiping her eyes. Wonder what that was all about? None of my business anyway…
