I too am an introvert and often have to stay home since I'm my husband's caregiver. He cannot leave the house often so it also hinders my going out. To make things even tougher, we have recently moved to a new home that is over two hours away from our former residence. Battling with how to meet people has been an issue for both of us. With his handicap and my being autoimmune we stream the Sunday services from a local church. Using a list that was made up of close neighbors I've begun snail mailing them to get to know them a little better. Unfortunately, the only way I get social interactions is to visit friendly businesses to chat with them as I check out in the line and to speak with customers around me in the grocery store. I've reached out to the Senior services in our city to only be told that if I get lonely then they have a cat I can come in and pet. Getting out of the house is a huge undertaking and so I understand in that I'm looking for email ladies to become friends with. I learned quickly don't paste anything like that on Craigslist. So, keep at it in networking online if you are stuck in the house often. I've enjoyed reading everyone's responses to this reply. I'm wondering is there anyone who knows of an email group for seniors just needing interaction? Thanks for asking this . Have a blessed day.
