Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/04/2016 (3491 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I have a friend who came to Winnipeg with her husband 40 years ago. Her husband died five years ago, she has no family here but her son. So when I am doing something with my friends, I invite her to join us, as I’m sure life is lonely for her. The reason I know this is I have no family in Canada. Yet, when this friend arranges to go for lunch with any of her friends, I’m never invited to join them. I don’t think I deserve to be treated like this. What do you think?
— Feeling Left Out, Winnipeg
Dear Feeling Left Out: She has been here 40 years and has her own circle of friends, and probably isn’t as lonely as you think. It seems you are the one who needs a few new pals. Join a couple of groups that share your interests and set out to make a number of new friends this spring and find a new best friend. Don’t cut her off totally, but demote her from best friend level. Be casual friends with her and meet for coffee, if you still want to, but don’t invite her out to share your friends with her anymore.
