I’m a 40-year-old single man with zero friends – I’m stuck in a rut and just existing

DEAR DEIDRE: I FEEL as if my life is stuck in a rut and I am just existing.

I’m a 40-year-old single man. Apart from my parents I have zero friends and few acquaintances.

My lack of friendships is making me feel inadequate. I suffer with low confidence as it is and this just makes it worse.

I would love a group of friends, even one or two would mean so much. I want people I can confide in and connect with.

I feel sad when I see groups of friends out with each other. It just brings home to me how alone I really am.

I work as a freelancer in IT, so my workplace constantly changes and I never get the chance to make meaningful connections.

Life just doesn’t feel fun and I am just existing.

Please suggest something before I am too old to go out and make any friends.

Saquon Barkley left speechless after first Super Bowl title: 'You can't use words'

Philadelphia officials estimated more than 1 million people would gather for the Eagles' Super Bowl victory parade

On Friday, a sea of fans wearing Eagles green lined Philly's Broad Street to take in the festivities.

The Eagles' defense delivered a strong performance, sacking Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes six times and forcing two interceptions en route to a 40-22 victory Sunday in New Orleans. 

Five days later, supporters got a chance to cheer on the team in their hometown.

The scene appeared to leave star running back Saquon Barkley in awe.

"You can't use words to describe this," Barkley told a reporter as he rode an open-top bus in the parade.

SAQUON BARKLEY PROCLAIMS NEXT GOAL AFTER DREAM EAGLES SEASON: 'WHY NOT WIN ANOTHER SUPER BOWL?'

Barkley then spoke about the enjoyment he was experiencing.

"Every time I think Philly can't take it to another level, it takes it to a whole 'nother level. Me and my family are just happy and honored to be a part of this organization, be a part of this city. This city deserves it all and here we are.

"I might be having too much fun."

The three-time Pro Bowler then declared Eagles fans the "best fans in the world."

"It definitely exceeded expectations. I saw a little clip on it the other day [from] 2017 when they won the first Super Bowl. We got the best fans in the world," he said when asked whether the celebration surpassed his expectations.

Philadelphia is known for having some of country's most passionate fans, but those supporters have had a limited number of championships to celebrate over the past few decades.

The Eagles's latest Super Bowl title is the third pro championship in Philly in the last 40 years. The Phillies won the World Series in 2008, and the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in the 2018 Super Bowl.

"You get a little greedy and start thinking about the future and this brings you back to the moment," said Barkley.
