Hard to relate to others

I feel like I struggle so much with finding people I can be myself around. Before pregnancy it was hard enough, now as I mom i feel like im never going to have a real friend. Im an "alt conservative" ive always had dyed hair and I love tattoos though I only have one for now. Im a Christian, though I tend to be uncomfortable in church because of my social anxiety and ive never had anyone to go with. A lot of conservative people get nervous to talk to me because they think im liberal so they keep me at arms length and liberal people tend to freak out and block me when they find out im conservative or they'll push me and try to make me do things im uncomfortable with. I used to just smile and fake my way through social interactions but now its so important for me to model confidence in myself to my boy. To have my bright colored hair, because its just hair its fun it doesnt hurt anyone, but to praise god.

I feel like I could have wrote this myself, I’ve always had colorful hair and I have many tattoos. As I’ve grown older I slowly become more and more conservative and I lost many friends because of it. You’re not alone!

Same as well! As a person who used to be more liberal in highschool and then became more conservative, I also lost alit of friends for different reasons, but noticed how being conservative and Christian now, kinda rubs ppl the wrong way.

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

Just seeing if it’s worth trying as the never ending colds and illnesses are battering our house 😂
