...I just realized that. Literally, whether from some grudge I happened to pick up along the way naturally over the years or some (the only) organizations who might possibly provide me with some company (say, an aspie meeting group) they irrationally all restrict it to those either under 20 (after council cuts, like counselling) or the holy threshold of 25 after which apparently all is destined to a life destitute of company. To make things worse everyone keeps saying how old people are lonely, when I've been totally alone now at least for 2.5 years, and will probably remain for decades... I just hate where I live, like I hated where I lived in my childhood... it's as busy as London, but has absolutely nothing of the sort of variety there is in an actual city... and no university, just because life *must* frustrate me.

Could you start your own group? It sounds difficult but probably wouldn't be. Put up notices or ads in the same places where the other groups do. Say it's for people 25 and older and give your email address or create a FB group for people to join for information about it. A FB group would be much easier. When you have enough people, say 5 or more, post in the group and either discuss where to meet and set up a first meeting. If it works out, great and if there isn't much interest then you haven't lost anything but a little time spent on it.

Are there other types of groups you could join? Something that maybe slightly interests you that could lead to other things?

I can definitely relate to how you feel. Sh!t I'm evening having an impossible time getting people on WP that live in the same area to meetup...I too have really been suffering from this isolation, it is literally killing me, driving me insane and suicidal at times. Too bad you don't live in the states I meet up with you in second :)
