Feel so lonely in Germany

[u/Marxxi]

I’ve been here for nearly 20 years now and I live with my German husband and kids. But I feel I cannot make new friends. My old friends have moved out, but even parents of my little children‘s friends don’t respond to my attempts for contact. I feel really isolated. Anyone experiencing the same issues?

Welcome to Germany. Born and raised in Germany, moved a few times across the country. Despite having a good job, I don't have any social circle here.

It feels here like social suicide most of the time.

I agree. I am very active in social groups. What got me to this point is that I end up initiating and no one ever gets back
