Is it normal to be unable to connect and stay connected

I'm 57, youthful, married. Single women of my age seem to value marriage more than a friendship with a woman. In fact, I am often told how much easier it is for me because I'm married. I've never had many friends and am feeling like I can't connect even when I reach out. I'm also insecure even though I believe I'm respected at work and valued. I'm thinking of taking a creative writing class to try to connect around poetry. (I have no extended family connections that I consider healthy, even though I try to stay in touch and care.) Thoughts?

    Keep trying! You sound pretty healthy to me - even have come to terms with unhealthy family. I think you may have more luck connecting around similar interests.
