From your other recent posts it sounds like you're feeling vulnerable at the moment so best to take it slowly and get to know people, perhaps through a shared activity. Have you thought about signing up for some local classes or sports, starting with the What's On section? There's a community exercise group that meets at the cafe on P Rye each Saturday at 10.00am and for coffee afterwards. How about giving that a try?


PS: forgot to say it's free and you don't have to book.

I don't think you will find new friends by asking randomly on here.


Nobody knows your age, gender, interests or anything about you.


All we know is that you live in Dulwich and are sadly recently bereaved.


As has been suggested, a good way to make friends is by joining a group of people who have the same interests as you.


Is there any reason why you don't want to do that?


Also, would it not be easier to do if you got some support first to help you cope with the bereavement? Several people (ETA on your other thread) have suggested ways to do that.


Hugs.

Hi Chuck

I have also tried to help natty a few weeks ago I gave my email address and natty replyed saying do I want to meet up in pub or cafe I said it would be coffee in day time but we could email each other first as I no nothing about natty other than the two theads on forum the bereavement one and making friends

I heard nothing after that lots of people have given help and advice but natty seems to still put things on forum about friends and the bereavement one

I have since wished natty all the best and hope natty gets the help, no one seems to know if natty is male or female I fully understand depression so was surprised natty did not take up offer if chatting through email as natty can put posts on forum

Natty dude, your approach is somewhat challenging. Make some effort worth conversation or you're going to be in the weirdo bin.


Depressed, sad, vulnerable or whatever, you're fit enough to post and start new threads.


So start communicating beyond the one liners.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
