Just seen my two neighbours return home together after being out. These girls are the same as me and have children the same age.
I saw them both coming out their houses earlier as I did and gave a cheery hello. One seemed to be waiting for the other but it didn't seem like they wanted me to see.
It's not like they've known each other for years, one neighbour only moved in a few months before is but they seem to have made good friends whereas I am still only on hello terms with one of them. I know they see each other regularly with their children anyway and have always told myself this is because it's a day I am at work and going out together with children is just because you have that in common. But it seems to have moved to a new level , going out with no children.
I ve exchanged a few text messages with one of them and I've been round her house a few times with kids. She's mostly initiates messages but it's difficult to arrange a time as I seem to work when she's off and visa versa and she often makes loose plans to meet up but doesn't follow through.
The other has been round a few times with kids but has never invited me to hers.
They obviously make an effort with each other though and folkie through on plans. I feel these friendship situations seem to happen to me all the time and since I was a child. People seem to take to others so much better than they do to me. I ve been told I come across as unapproachable but have been making an effort with these girls . My husband says it's just dynamics, people get on better with others sometimes and they have much more opportunity to see each other.
I assume they don't like me, which now makes it hard living next door to them. I feel I would be invited too and they make an effort to return invites and follow through plans with each other so they must not like me much or feel they want to be anymore than on hello terms with me.
Feel rubbish now.
