Desperate for Friends

"Desperation and bad decisions go hand and hand." Have you ever experienced loneliness and, as a way to decrease those feelings, you would be friends with just about anyone?

Join Alysa as she talks about loneliness and desperation, and how to go about making friends in a more effective, especially when you feel lonely. Share Your Friendship Stories with Alysa!
