Just a rant really...
I'm annoyed that I'm in a role where I don't have colleagues and I don't have much family in this country. I feel both these things give me more time to need more friends.
I've got a few friends but none that I see that regularly.
I've got a friend that we see for playdates with our kids and we have mentioned that we should go out without the kids and we both have a mutual acquaintance. I've mentioned to them both that we should all go for a meal together and they said yeah. I was hoping that they would just arrange it but they haven't. Now I feel stuck because I know it's on me to make it happen. But the thought of asking them both fills me with dread. I don't know if it's worth the energy. I know the wait for them to reply will feel excruciating.
I'm not satisfied with my social life so I know it's me that needs to do things differently to get what I want but it's just so hard.
