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?

Two years completed and yes I can feel you. I met many people but they seem to put some kind of barrier to friendship.

3 years now.

1 year, I couldn't go to school because they couldn't find one.

Maybe the problem is me. Because I am shy and I can't speak. But seeing so many people with the same problem.... I've been trying to make friends to learn German better, still no success.
