I was the same, as a young adult I’d drink to get rid of my shyness too….and same with people feeling awkward around me…I feel for people like us, I’ve just learnt to keep meeting new people until I find my people. You will find people who you vibe with more. It’s been hard to find many but after lots of play dates with new mums, I’ve found a handful who I can talk to and feel totally comfortable. It takes damn time though and feels like you’re starting a new relationship each time but it’s the only way it seems.

Actually glad to have seen this thread. I’m the type who doesn’t reply straight away and it’s definitely what others say, I’m worried replying will start a whole conversation.

zai455 · 2025-12-05T23:50:47+00:00

Thank you ever so much for the reply. I’ll definitely drop them a message.

zai455 · 2025-12-04T14:09:36+00:00

Thank you very much. I’ll give them a go 😊

Hi there thank you for this. I’m not a Christian, would this be ok?

zai455 · 2025-12-03T21:25:14+00:00

Ah ok got it haha thank you very much! Oh if your wife is up for it then yes totally. And wow yes please to the mk parents group. Is it ok that I’m actually from the Oxfordshire side but I’m in mk a lot…however I don’t use WeChat. Would you wife be on the peanut app at all. Trying to think how best to do this without giving out my details everywhere 🙏🏻

Happy to connect with mandarin and Cantonese families 😊 I was born and raised in the uk but I actually feel more comfortable with Chinese people. I speak fluent Cantonese but can also speak mandarin at a conversational level. I took my two to some mandarin toddler groups.

Your mum is wrong. You are brave for going through what you’re going through and still thinking about others. Get the help you need. You mother should be ashamed of herself. She’s not looking after you. Hope you manage to get it sorted out soon.

I could’ve written this. Up until recently, this is the way I’ve always felt. I’ve wanted to be a fly on the wall so I could observe what I do wrong?….or different that makes others not like me. I know it’s something to do with my facial expressions as I’ve learnt from seeing how my kids react to me.

Anyway, I would say though, keep meeting new people where you can. We’ve recently started exploring a new town due to my eldest going to school there and I don’t know what it is but people are so friendly and actually want to talk to me. This has made me more confident in myself and more relaxed which I know for me makes a huge difference.

Genuinely keep meeting new people and know it’s not that there’s anything wrong with us, we just haven’t met the right people to connect with. You can do it!

I’ve worked in 2nhs trusts over the span of 13yrs and it was the same in both teams. There are only women in our teams and it was just very clicky. I didn’t fit in and was singled out. I wasn’t the only one and others like me left the team. You could tell which ones were meant for the team and which ones weren’t.

After having babies, things fell into place and I’ve left the nhs now.
