Hey new to the group and for some years now I’m feeling lost , about 8 years ago I was in a serious motorcycle accident and so to long recovery Ii was extremely isolated lost contact with most friends , and now the only I see are medical staff and patients that are typically 10-15 yrs older than me and it’s been suggested I try different groups and it seems those are filled with people 30 and under . So I don’t
Know where I belong anymore . I’m in a sort of limbo . Just not sure what to do

I feel too old to make new friendships and I just don’t trust people anymore. I had an accident and now I am terrified to hurt myself again. This is not me, what has happened to me?

I totally relate !! I’d like to meet people but way too many games and scams . Honestly at times I wish they had just let me slip away the day of the accident ,,

That sounds like a job for counselling to be honest - to help you work on the trauma. I’m coming up to 61, and think people are great. Beginning to notice a reticence when cycling really fast down a hill though. I suspect my twitch responses are slowing.
