Will I ever make friends?

Before kids I thought I was out going and bubbly and easy to get along with. But now I struggle to even find connections on here. I feel so alone. It certainly doesn't help that my other social feeds are full of thriving moms who have a good village and a bestie to do everything with. I would really like a friend to do life with but it seems so difficult to do. I swipe and try to chat on here but it never really goes anywhere. I'm at a loss and feel so isolated..

I completely understand, I am the same, except I was never able to make friends, people didn't like me in high-school, or college and then in my early 20s I stopped trying, now I am 30 and have absolutely no social skills 🙈all I ever wanted in life was a best friend to do life with. But could never make any.

Same. I was never outgoing but I always had a solid group of a few friends. But time, moves, the pandemic, and motherhood have led to a lot of distance in those relationships and it is SO HARD to make friends. It’s def harder when you see everyone else having a great time on pay dates and stuff. Sending you all the positive vibes.

I definitely feel that I feel like this app if you are using it to try to make friends is kind of like using tinder to date a lot of the conversations just fizzle out or the person that you're talking to doesn't want the same things that you're wanting out of it

you can message me 🩷 we can be friends

Message me I’m up for being friends :)

I'm the same. It like my friend have forgotten me altogether . I used to make all the effort but I have stopped nobody comes looking. I dont understand it at all.

It gets more difficult as you get older, with or without kids. It's a difference in schedules most of the time. A person is lucky if they have even one best friend that they see regularly. Much less a small circle 🤷

It's hard make friends as adults I'm 48 and my kids are teens it was easier when they were elm school age

same boat as you are

I completely understand you girl. To the point at most times I feel like there is something wrong with me and then I isolate more. I am always here to confide in and make a friend that understands what you’re going through but can be goofy with and not judge. If you ever need to talk, you can always reach out!

Awesome

You're not alone 🫶🏽

Me too, I have such bad social anxiety and feel so out of place most the time. It’s definitely not easy but give yourself credit your taking the steps to get there. Sometimes being a mom can be such a lonely job. Message if you’d like to talk.
