No matter what I do-- whether online or in person--  I feel forgotten.
Don't really know what to write here...  So I'll just write a little about myself.  For conciseness, I am a 48 y/o pre-op transsexual who's in a wheelchair.  I'm wheelchair bound due to AVN(avascular necrosis) which took three and a half inches from my right femur and I acquired due to HIV.  I got infected by the first man I was ever with.  So, after spending 40+ years in Texas and getting three felonies, I decided to move to San Francisco.
  I got here in 2010 and continued to drug myself until something happened...  I don't remember exactly what happened, but I do know I did something to ease my pain, which didn't help and I ended up in the ER.  After that, mind you I could still walk, barely, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis.  Immediately I was sent to a hospital in really bad shape.  I was addicted to a copious amount of drugs and weighed less than 90lbs.  I was near death.  I spent two and a half years in hospital, quit drugs, got my own place and am doing quite well.

I know how you feel....

Im the one that texts, chats, etc.. to make sure Im in their thoughts... yet they never go first and rarely even respond

and as far as making a big splash.... well, many of them dont like that either, some even telling me to chill out

I think alot of it is in our heads and the way we view the world, unfortunately it still hurts

There's no real secret to making friends, it will just happen. Some will be close friends, some more of acquaintances. The more you are out there in the world, the higher your chances of meeting good people who may in fact become a friend. Bars and the Internet are notoriously the worst places to meet new friends. I haven't met too many honest people who actually want to be seen outside of social media. The current trend is for people to get a bazillion people to click like for an ego boost then go about their daily lives. Have no fear, you'll meet real people when you least expect it.
At what point did my life go Looney Tunes? How did it happen? Who's to blame?... Batman, that's who. Batman! It's always been Batman! Ruining my life, spoiling my fun! >:-)

I just deal with it, I've been alone all my life and I've tried my best as far as I know to change that , but it hasn't happened so I find peace within and move on.

Thanks y'all for all the great words.  But I'm starting to figure out more about myself.  I think what's happened is that I've expected too from the girls I've met.  Most of them have transitioned a long time ago, while I've been living as a woman for less than two years.  I am also shy.  Plus I am in a wheelchair and I've found a lot of people have pretty negative opinion about us.  And then I'm an agnostic- atheist.  So, I got a few dark spots on my resume, but I know I'm a good person.  Presently, I am back in school aiming to get an associate's degree in LGBTQQI studies at San Francisco Community College and parlay that into a BS in sociology with a minor in LGBT studies.  So I really want to help our community.  Anyway, if there's anyone from the Bay Area and I haven't put them off, please think about PMing me.  I hope I haven't broken any rule.  I'm really glad this site is here, and I ask questions or post something and be respected as long as I am respectful of everyone.  Thanks much.  Much love, Steph

just the fact your taking classes is a great opportunity to make friends. I live across the street from a University and even though I don't take classes , I've met a lot of people . It's the college atmosphere
