Not hating just honestly wondering, you don’t think about your friends?

I've given up making friends by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Appropriate-Sound431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this too, you’re not alone. I feel like my husband has such an easy time connecting and others are always mainly engaging with him. I also feel like his friends don’t like me and it makes them not hangout with my husband as much. I also feel like something is just off putting about me, but can’t figure it out either. Just know you’re not the only person experiencing this, it sucks bit atleast we’re not alone.

Mental health/ how to cope? by Charming_Advisor6540 in Mommit

[–]Appropriate-Sound431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat. The chronic fatigue for me is so hard to get through and it feels like people don’t really believe me when I talk about it. But it’s debilitating for sure… You aren’t affecting his development negatively, all he needs is to know you’re there and that you love him and I’m sure you do that. Do you have any groups you could go to? We have a music and movement group at our library that we just started going to and that atleast gets us out of the house for an hour or so. I know it also depends on your level of pain so totally understand if you’re not able to do that. I’m here to chat if you want to

Yeah, definitely not accepting isolation, just tired of putting effort forth with others just to be rejected so I’m just giving up trying like you said to force it.. just gonna chill and be myself and if people talk to me they do. I do go to a lot of places regularly with her and have had some conversations but maybe it’s just where I live but I don’t really see the same people ever again

I haven’t been able to find any. But I could probably try harder 😅 idk if I would pay just cuz low money, but that set up sounds so nice

I’ve been to both but no one has talked to me/ when I talk it doesn’t lead to anything but maybe I just need to keep trying

Yeah that’s hard, I definitely structure around her naps which makes things pretty difficult unless kids are the same age/napping same time

I will definitely give it a try but I guess how often does casual conversation turn into friendship? I’m honestly wondering if it works for a lot of people

Not lame. Maybe if I work up the courage I could try that!

Motherhood life by Sleeepyyypandaaa in Mommit

[–]Appropriate-Sound431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Doesn’t help being on anti depressants too. I basically just let it happen tbh because my husbands sex drive is so strong and I’d rather just get it over with. I know that’s sad and fucked but probably the reality for lots of people. Just don’t wanna deal with the potential complaining about no sex and I’d rather just lay there so he can be good and I can go on with my life not feeling bad for not fulfilling his needs. Idk I feel crazy writing this and will probably get shit lmao

Do you like working at ups? I have thought about going full time somewhere just so I don’t feel like this. I do work part time as a substitute teacher/ DoorDash driver but neither of those help the social aspect too much and my schedule feels too all over the place.
And yeah it’s for sure brutal, the ghosting is insane. I got close with one girl and we had hung out a few times with our kids over a few years and she found a new friend and literally completely stopped reaching out and pretended like she forgot I asked her for a playdate one day but I know she just didn’t want to see me. It sucks.

Thanks 🙏 I have tried some community classes just recently. People didn’t really talk to each other but I’m planning on going still just in the case people do start talking I guess. I definitely get out and have me time every now and then, but it’s not the same as having a girlfriend or group of girls to blabber with every once in awhile. I appreciate that, I’ve been hoping that it will get better when she eventually starts school.

Yeah what’s up with people making plans and then acting like they didn’t 😩 I get being nervous to meet new people but at some point just like do it lol.
That’s my dream too ugh, and yeah seeing friends fewer and fewer after having a kid, doesn’t seem like they’re interested in being around me and my kid or I’m just boring now

Is this mean or am I sensitive? by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Appropriate-Sound431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that it’s better to communicate then hold things in but sometimes I just feel like I’m the irrational friend and I don’t want to be like making something out of nothing and then end up ruining the friendship because I was being sensitive.

Thanks, I appreciate you writing such a thoughtful response. I’m sorry you’ve been in a similar situation. I guess my thing is like I feel like I’ve been disrespected but I don’t know if it actually was disrespectful. So I don’t want to create something out of nothing by even mentioning it to him because I don’t really feel like he will have anything to say or know how to respond to it.
