Dear Dáithí: 'I feel so lonely... how do I make friends as a 38-year-old man?'

It seems everyone is really busy and tied up with juggling work and family commitments. I don't blame anyone for that. But I feel like I've been left behind

'I don't know where people my age go to make new connections. I feel like if I was older, there would be Men's Sheds and the like that I could join. I feel too young for that.'

Dear Dáithí,

I’m 38 and single. I have a good job, a lovely family, and good health, but I’m so lonely.
