You can still make friends. You will just move more cautiously and that’s ok. Start with small talks, looking for consistency and set boundaries.

It just takes time and lots of grace, especially with mothers who are often very busy and somewhat unpredictable.
I see a lot of people talking about "skipping the small talk" but that's how you get to know each other.
I have tried the approach where you just start talking to someone like you've known them for years and with the right person it can work.
Good luck finding your bestie!🤗

that’s definitely true as well.

@cessa im the same way...u have trust issues until u don't...u can't put ur trust in a person until u know for sure

Omg same, anytime i have finally made friends they ended up treating me horrible and I never know why. I am terrible at making friends have been my whole life. After a while I have started to think it's me

When you figure it out, let me know

I second this…
