Social Life
Can anyone tell me how to start a good in person social connection with someone. I do have a social life doing volunteer work at a rehab center. Problem there is all the other volunteers there are college students doing it cause it's a necessity for their study in school. I can't get a off work social life with them not just cause they're between 18-22 yrs. old and I'm 45. I have no clue where or how to start a social life outside work. I'm happy since I do have my dog but believe would be… read more
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , You might try joining in on the virtual support groups that your local Epilepsy Foundation offers. You can read about their support groups & events at www.efepa.org but I had to zoom in to look at the list of events. Their Facebook page posts a calendar & events & their Facebook page is called “Epilepsy Foundation Eastern PA.” Or something like that. You could also see if there’s others on this site who live near you & get to know them & then if you want you could first exchange Facebook or text messages & then if you decide you would want to meet them in person for lunch or something then you could ask them. I met another team member on here a few years ago who lives in my area & we get together every now & then for lunch. She’s about the only friend I have my age to hang out with but I don’t go really anywhere to meet people either. I’m almost 45 & still live at home with my Mom & stepdad. If you wanted you could contact your local Epilepsy Foundation & ask if they offer any in person activities. Good luck. Your friend in Texas, Becky

I tell other people that if they can ever use a hand to give me a call. Just like today @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member. It gets me out of the house and it gives me a way to hang out with others. Plus they invite me to parties where I’ve gotten to know their whole family. My friends will even come pick me up and drive me home. I’ll be 42 in less than 2 weeks and I still live with my parents.
Couple weeks ago a guy was very nice to me but my sister lives 40 minutes away but when I told her about him she said please be careful. He’s sounds like a creep please don’t talk to him anymore. He’s moving end of this month so I stopped texting him. I’m doing better.
My idea or definition social life friend is having friends welcome to come my place, me go over their place, go out different places, such as a games, concerts, restaurants depending on how strong that friendship is and maybe other social events or places. I would have friends or family to do things with if they didn't move way too far to get to see messed up on drugs with no wanted change. Or family contacts out of state or just seen only at family party like Thanksgiving, or Christmas. I just would like to have friend to have contact with to do fun things with or fun to be around and hang out with sometimes. Also, I am a guy who can be friends with many people I am very accepting. I do not care what the persons race, sexual preference, can be guy or girl friends! Long as they're friendly, and honest I think is good enough for me! 😁
When you mention social life I used that term called not normal. Can’t do the things I use to. It is a bummer. I’ve called it we are all different people here still work and drive. Idk 🤷🏻♀️ sometimes I even question myself do I make sense. My sister tells me let’s go on a vacation? Anyway that’s me I guess.
