“Trying to Open Up and Find My People”

Hello ladies! 👋 I’m new to this whole posting thing and still figuring out how to navigate this app (and life, honestly 😅). I’ll admit, I’m a pretty closed-off person. Over the years, I’ve been hurt and betrayed by people I loved deeply—even my own mother. Because of that, I’ve built walls to protect myself, and it’s made it really hard to trust people or form genuine connections. Right now, I can honestly say I have one good friend besides her. I’ve always struggled to find a tribe of women who truly understand and support me. Sometimes, I feel like other women see me as a threat or assume I’m after their relationships, which couldn’t be further from the truth. I deeply respect other people’s relationships and would never cross that line. But I hate that this perception keeps me from forming the kind of friendships I crave. I’m here because I want to open up more and find a community of women who lift each other up. I want to be part of a tribe where we can be real, support one another, and celebrate each other’s wins without judgment or competition. If you’ve ever felt the same way or have advice on how to build trust and genuine friendships, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s chat, share stories, and maybe even help each other grow. 💕 Thanks for reading this far. Here’s to hoping I can find my tribe. 🌸
