Girl friendship help

I’m socially awkward/ have social anxiety, I am incapable of maintaining friendships, I don’t know how to, I don’t want to be in social situations but I also want friends.
At work I’m confident and people would not even question whether I had friends or not or the fact I have social anxiety. However outside of work, I am the poster girl for social interactions gone wrong. I shut down, I don’t know what to say, I don’t talk to anyone or if I do I say the most awkward shit. My partner friends joke about how they ask my partner questions to find out how I am, even while I’m sat next to him… it’s embarrassing! If they ask me something I give one word answers and walk away. when I do make friends with someone and someone does make me feel comfortable to talk I don’t carry on being their friend because the moment we start messaging and talking etc.. I forget about them. People who I can’t see or message me. I forget about. I never message first, not because I’m rude (intentionally) because I forget that person exists. I don’t know how to explain it without making myself seem rude, I get that I am but it’s not intentional I just really struggle.
but is there any other people that are like this or was like this and have tips on how to keep friendships going

Hello 🫶

Looking to make new friends, no matter where you are! Being at home all the time with just a tiny person for company can be lonely so I’m reaching out to see if anyone is out there in the same position - I am also a really good listener so if you need to rant then I’m here! 👋🏼🤍

Deleting app

I’m so ready to delete this app. I don’t think people actually want to gain friendships. I’ve only had little conversations and that’s it. What a bummer 😒

Is it appropriate to give a card for Eid?

My neighbour has been fasting for Ramadan and I wondered if it would be appropriate to give a card for Eid. He gave us a Christmas card and I want to return the favour.

Socialising

I’m due on July 9th, and lately I just don’t feel like myself socially. Before pregnancy, I loved seeing my friends, making plans, going out it used to genuinely excite me. But now… I just don’t have the energy or desire for it.

All I seem to want is to stay at home, be with my partner, and keep things really low-key. I’ve been cancelling plans a lot, and it’s starting to make me feel like a bad friend or like I’m being selfish. I do love my friends, nothing has changed in that sense I just don’t feel up to socialising at all.

I’m also just so exhausted all the time, and part of me worries I’m isolating myself or that something’s wrong with me.

Has anyone else felt like this during pregnancy? Is this normal? I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s gone through something similar 🤍

What do I do if I can’t go back to work

I’m actually doing my first week back at work and it’s already a nightmare. I live in wales so don’t get any free childcare. I feel like I actually can’t go back to work. It’s too expensive to put both my kids in nursery and I currently have mine and my partners mums doing a day each of childminding.
Both parents are already facing challenges doing their day due to both having their own business and personal issues.

If I quit my job, could I go on UC? My partner just has a standard job.
Anyone else experiencing this?
