Honestly I feel like I’ve tried everything.
I’m on peanut, I go to 2/3 baby groups a week, I try and make conversations but it just ends with lots of small talk.
I still find myself feeling incredibly lonely. For context I have a 5 year old and 6 month old and have only got one true ‘friend’ - she lives 50 mins away so we hardly see each other.
I live in a GREAT town and would love to make friends locally but I feel like at this point it must just be me? I’m quite socially awkward (suspected on the spectrum) but I am a very nice person and would love to have even just one or two close friends to do things with and have consistent interactions.
I am a single parent and fairly young - 25 had my first at 19 - and I feel sometimes I’m not quite in the same category as other mums or they don’t want to be friends with someone like me. I wouldn’t care if my friend was 30/40/50 but I do find sometimes it puts a stop to conversations when they find out either my age or that I’m a solo parent.
HELP! I just want to find my people 😭
