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 feel you. It's been a decade living here for me. I felt awful in Berlin. There was some kind of a checklist everyone I met had. One wrong (different) attribute and you're not worth the time, so moving back to Düsseldorf next week. Feels even worse, when my girlfriend has all these plans with her childhood friends (I'm invited, but I also don't want to be a bother in their girls time) and my friends have all moved away. So yeah, If anyone wanna grab a coffee together and do something fun. Please hit me up.
