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.
