Maybe you could buy a book or go to the library and check out a book on making friends. There is an art to it, and it doesn't work if you just sit by the phone, LOL. Even finding a hobby will do it. What do you like to do? Cars? Woodworking? Bird watching? Dog training? Find a volunteer position or join a club that suits your interests. You have to get out amongst people and do it on a regular basis.

If you want someone to call you, start calling people.

If you want someone to knock on your door and ask how you are, start knocking on doors and visiting with people.



The "anyway" prayer comes to mind:

(The version found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta ~ )

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
