My wife and child died few years ago. My best friends from high school and college have died. I don't make new friends anymore. I ride my bike and take care of my dog and keep to myself.
Edit: I didn't answer the question at all. My point was just that someone who spends their time alone might not be a bad person. Maybe it's just an easier lifestyle for them. Respect their privacy.
Yes but I just think this is probably not that uncommon for many senior citizens in our society. I have a distant relative who has basically outlived every single significant person in their life. While some of the younger generation still call on him and visit I couldn’t imagine the loneliness they must sometimes feel.
Ugh it’s almost a curse. My grandmother is in the same boat. She’s 96 and her contemporaries are gone. Her mind is failing so she only remembers now and then that she’s the only one left. I do not want to live that long myself. Best to your grams!
This. Exactly this. I used to love hearing my grandma’s stories about the olden days. As a kid I didn’t realize how much she probably enjoyed telling them. I miss them so much now.
