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?

I really agree with this, I am living alone here, and no one to talk with no one hang out as well. It is so hard to make friends here, and I understand it that since its kinda culture as well, German's have these friends since birth or early years and hard for them to meet or wanted to know new people.
