For the perhaps older folk:
Have you reached a point in your life where you don't have the energy or inclination to make and keep new friends?

I am, largely, self sufficient.
Life is lonely. But I don't have time for things most folk see as recreational friend stuff.
Coffee with a neighbour; drinks with a friend at the pub; meals or events out.
I work a five and a half day week.
Mostly nights !
Plus I'm in an area that is a bit remote from the nearest big town.
It's not my idea of fun (whatever THAT is !)
But it's where I have to be for now.
Ordinarily it doesn't bug me too much.
Yet, here I am. 00:45 on a Saturday night. At home.
