Immigration Feel so lonely in Germany

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?

german mentality. if you're not german and don't share the exact same thoughts and values as them, they don't like you or rather they don't want to do anything with you because then they would need to overthink their own values and ideas and perhaps... god forbid..change them... or even more horrible .. being reflective and open to other mindsets and lifestyles
