Why can't I make friends?

During lockdown I realised that I have very, very few friends. People are very happy for me to do things for them or to be a class rep or help with a problem, but that's where it ends. Yesterday my daughter came back from a bike ride to say she saw a group of mums from her class having drinks at the park. It was so upsetting that I wasn't extended an invitation (they are always nice to me and chat at the school gates etc) and more upsetting when she asked why i wasn't invited.
I really dont know what to do to be able to gain more friends. Any suggestions please?

Sorry to hear this Mafuta, schools can e quite cliquey.

Maybe you can meet new friends by taking up a hobby after lockdown ends....
Do you ask friends if they want to meet up?

I think it comes down to whether you can find your people or not. There are things you can do but there is also an element of luck.
