I'm having a hard time making, and keeping friends right now.. I live with my grandmother and she has Alzheimer's, I only get Mon, wed, and Fri nights off to do things. (I'm 24 female if that matters) I have a few friends now, but when I make plans with people they always seem to cancel on me, which I hate, and if it happens more than once, I end up not talking to them for awhile. I hold people up to the same standards I hold myself, I wont back stab someone and don't talk c**p behind someone's back, cause that's just wrong.. but it always seems that the friends I make do this to me. A lot of people don't understand a lot of the things I say when I talk about my grandmother.. people sometimes think what I say is mean, when in reality its not, its just how I express my frustrations and feelings.. just how I get it out (I have a background in ems, and if someone reading this also does you know what I mean by the stupid humor). So I guess my main questions are how do I make better friends, with the limited time I have to do things, where can I start going to meet new people(I go to clubs some, but not often). I don't have a lot of money to do new things. Are there groups of others that stay with Alzheimer's patients, that are also younger, and how do I find these groups?? And if my some lucky chance someone reads this and they live in the Mooresville/Salsibury area in NC, email me...
