I'm down, so go ahead and kick me life. Nothing major but enough to get my blood boiling and my stomach rolling. More money that needs to be spent when not a lot is coming in. I am really starting to think that maybe I am not in the place that I should be right now. I don't know how to fix it. I have discovered that I have managed to completely isolate myself over the past 5 years. I don't even know who I can put down for references on anything... a job application, a pet adoption form, or a child adoption form. i talk to people but I am not really close to anyone these days....
How did this happen and how do I fix it?

awareness is the first step, so good for you! Next, who did you talk to before the last 5 years? Give them a call, I bet they miss you.
I've been thinking about this over since I read your post yesterday. I think Lauren is right - awareness is the first step.
Putting yourself out there to meet new friends is a lesson in being vulnerable. But I think you will do fine because I know by experience that you are a wonderful listener and care about people. :)
As a fellow wallflower, it isn't easy, I know. If you are like me in this way, which I suspect you are, you will be more comfortable doing stuff with another couple or a couple of friends rather than a larger group. But you may have to brave the larger group to find those couples. :)
Start with people you know. Is there anyone you'd like to invite over for a game night or movie? If you can't think of anyone with whom you'd be interested in cultivating a deeper relationship, then look into what social/church groups you might join.
I wish you the best of luck...and wish we lived closer. I think we could have some great game nights!
