I only want to make friends

Are you looking to make friends with people with learning disabilities because you have a learning disability yourself? Are you looking for “friends” of certain ages or with particular interests? Perhaps if you were to provide some information about yourself and the types of people you’re looking for, people could decide whether or not you are someone they would want to contact.

I get a little suspicious without knowing more.

Jennie, you never left your e-mail, hun.

Hi! I know how you feel. It is very hard to make friends. I am 35. I have had a learning disability all of my life. I am depressed because I think I try too hard and am let down all of the time.
I just moved home with my parents. My husband and I are seperated. We are still friends but it is much different than it was. It has been a big adjustment for me because he was my best friend for so long.
I am going to start a new job next week so that’s an opportunity to meet people. I’ve been going to church Single’s groups. I also went to divorce care. I did get nominated secretary for the single’s group. That did make me happy. I’ve had self-esteem problems for years. I’m so glad I saw this site. I was looking at Clay Aiken stuff on line. He is from American Idol. I wish he won. Not just because he was from Raleigh where I live but since he is going to help people with disabilities. I still think he will help us.
I mostly do things with my parents,my brother,my sister-in-law,and my husband. I also have a married friend in Greensboro that I visit. I do have support. I just wish I had one good friend here to go out with. I’m learning to do things alone if I don’t have anyone to go out with but it gets lonely.Any advice? I’ve really been trying to get to know the church people but they are so cliquey. I have sent cards or emails. One girl I thought we were going to be friends did come to my house and we ate at wendy’s and I did go to church with her once. I feel bad that she didn’t call me. I wondered if she really didn’t like me. I worry too much. I always feel like things are about me. Maybe she is just busy with her life.
Anyway-I’d like to be your friend. People don’t understand us. I know I am a smart person but it just takes me a little while longer to understand things.
Write Me! Take Care!

I am 52 years old with LD and have no close friends either. I am also recently divorced and both of my parents recently died. Now the person at work who was probably the closest thing to a friend is retiring. I would like to make new friends too

This reminds me of this old school rap song….friends, how many of us have them, friends, ones you can depend on, lets be friends…lalala the days of Hoodini and Run Dmc just come flooding back to me, man.
At any rate, if anyone would like to be my pal, then they are more than welcome to. I am alone at University all the time, because I am always studying and seeking the quiet one needs to study. I am trying to make pals with my math tutor because I have bad math ld.
If you have math ld or not other specified ld of the visual spatial sort, then e mail me, man. If you have any ld and need a pal, e mail me, man. If you are one for spam, then do not e mail me, man. haha.
my e mail is [email protected]. I have to go to University and work until the year after next, year round, but I will find the time to check my e mail for any of you folks:)

I know how u feel. I to have L.D. all my life.
Do you ever feel that people are mad at you and they really are not??
I hope all is going well with your new job and u made new friends.
Take care. Drop me a line if u want.
Kris

:cry: Yeah the worse is that I cannot get a guy. There was this one guy who was getting friendly with me but when he found out I was learning disabled he tried everything to ignore me. I don’t understand because he’s very intelligent, gifted, sensitive young man and i thought he would understand I’m not stupid. I am gifted as well as L.D. and I was praying he would look beyond my weaknesses and see my strengths. When I called him last summer he would make an excuse that he couldn’t stay on the phone too long, or “YAWN! I’m tired I want to take a nap.” I e-mailed a Christmas greeting to him and he sent it back. I’ve been very depressed since then and I feel like I’ll never get a guy in my whole life. It gotten to the point that I cry at night and cried in my room while looking at romance sites all of Valentines Day. :cry:

I think friendship is becoming a lost art.

Amber guys are over rated. Try looking for a man.

Hello Jennie are you looking for a friend with learning differences?
Friendship is hard for anyone these days, however when you have a difference you can really feel isolated.
What is your email?

I very much want to make friends. I want one special friend and I dont care if the rest are acquainences. Is that too much to ask in this day and age of impersonal relationships?. Does anyone need a friend????

i always felt so lonely wondering why peoplke did nt like me and then i realized some of them were feeling the same way or dont know how to call others so i had to be the one most of the time to start somethin im an only child so always had to start things it gets depressing though once in a while wish someone missed me or called o well cant change everythin i learned so dont get mad at the world, anti deppressants help with this feelin but i m still workin on getin those stimulants so i can suceed in life no organization to get to my goals that change every day.

:lol: im like everyone else here just looking for a great friend…[email protected]

My daughter, who is 20, has LD. It has been very sad for me to see her become lonely, depressed with no self confidence. She feels like she doesn’t belong. She has a full-time job, but has no friends. She is very shy and has not self-confidence. These feelings became worse as she hit adolesence and have continued to get worse. I’ve always felt that there were others who felt the same way and who she could be friends with, but all are probably just sitting home alone like her. Has anyone found any support groups, etc. to meet friends to just hang out with…go to a movie, etc.
