I have also found it difficult to make friends in ED, maybe I lack the social skills one needs to live here, but I have found that if you are at the bottom of the scale no body wants to know you. And I do not buy friends. Have been here 25 years, and found it cleaky (sorry don't know how to spell that). And I feel really lonely here, I am stuck here, as cannit afford to move. Didn't mean this to sound like a sob story.
