I have lost many of my friends because I turned them away for so
long..My hair problem became so difficult that I didn't want to go out
and of course I couldn't tell this was why..Slowly I lost most of my
friends..Recently started having the confidence of reaching out to
others..Maybe you should join a club something that you enjoy (A book
club or Survivor fan club etc) or maybe a class?? When u share something
in common its sometimes easier to make friends. I have made some great
friends volunteering..When u need to talk we are alway listening. All
the best --Vicki--
