I wish there was a section in these forums for meeting people not just for friends but more, whether it's love, cuddles, intimacy, just SOMEthing more than just platonic discussions about cancer.
It feels almost taboo to want such a thing. How dare I want a physical connection with someone! My partner of 8 years left me recently and no matter what excuses she had, it all came down to the fact I have cancer and she'll likely lose me before too long.
There is the odd website for finding people but there are so few others there, and believe me I know them all and have tried. I've tried to get to know people on these forums too but most just post the odd thing then disappear. Some take over threads and it makes it impossible for anyone else to chat and get to know people.
I'm lonely, have no local friends, barely and distant friends. Anything more than friends is almost a joke.
I know all about groups, ways to meet others in the same position. Has anyone who suggests such things actually tried those groups? I have been going to one - All but one is a generation older than me or more. I don't fit in. I help them but they don't help me. Some can barely even hear me.
I can't be the only one who feels this way?
Geoff.
