I don't know if you've tried this, but sometimes people can get caught up on everything around them that they accidently take for granted what is right in front of them, with that being said have you told your partner this is how you feel? If someone really cares for another, they might be hurt to hear something like this, but will try to rectify it as best and fast as possible. Sometimes we're not aware of how we are with those around us.
If you've talked to them about it and they don't listen or treat it as nothing important, it might be time to think of other things as well. Taking care of your needs and wants if they aren't interested in that. May sound harsh or selfish, but it's not. If any one has a relationship going, it's because they want to be with that person and to help them along the way. We all would like someone that walks besides us, not in front of.
As for friends? That's a little different. Finding people that share interests with isn't that hard, but keeping it fresh might be nowadays. I know and understand how it can be. I once had many friends, things I did with them and all. But, after an accident, things changed and many couldn't be around me, it was too hard on them. Now? I have the Internet, friends I've made here and other online places, but still...I sit alone. I'm sure you'll find friends once you're able to. If you really want, you can find people that share the same interests to talk with or even do things depending on what it is you really like and love to do.
Just don't give up. Things can always change for the better, sometimes when you least expect it.🤗🌷
