Making friends (with & without kids)

Anyone have any tips on making girl friends. I’m in my 20s and it feels like lots of mutual girls in my city have girl groups or know each other. Should I come off super friendly?? Put in decent amount of effort at the start to show interest?? I think I usually come off maybe quiet and more serious, but truthfully I’m very chill and nonjudgmental and silly! It just takes time for me to get comfortable with someone bc I also have trust issues and know girls can be petty/competitive so I definitely have some walls built to protect myself.. idk! any tips are super appreciated. I also understand there are different types of friendships. some are friends just to talk to, some to hang with, some to go out with, some potentially to become best friends who you share a lot more with but i feel those may be hardest to come by. I’m okay with just starter friendships that may not go anywhere, just wanting advice on the secret to friendships with girlies!

I’m sure you don’t live near me, but you sound fantastic! I think just be yourself, cliche I know, but if it’s meant to be the friendship will fall into place! It will definitely take some effort and an open mind, but if you get the chance go for it! Nothing bad can happen by trying!

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
