I find it hard to laugh - so i have to fake laugh?

What socialising do you do? Do you belong to any clubs or groups? Do you have any interests or hobbies? What kind of places do you go to on a regular basis?

 

There is no recipe for making friends. It happens because you share an interest. Like most people I only have a handful of friends, but because I have four children I seem to know hundreds of people and can't go round the supermarket without meeting someone. That would make me seem incredibly popular but I have only maybe two friends I would tell everything to and one of those happens to be my husband.

 

NAS and other voluntary organisations have social groups for adults and it might be an idea to find one and start there.
