Can someone please help me explain this to someone in a summarized way

I have a friend who is a mom and who is very out going and I’ve only known her for a year and likes to join places to volunteer and just loves to socialize overall.

Me I love being a parent
Me and my kid do everything together my daughter has done more things then I’ve ever done in my life 🤣 but I’m not too fond of socializing with other parents and being involved in stuff unless my child wants me too

I probably came off as I don’t like people
But it’s really not that.
I always meet people if I like the person then yes I’ll make them my friend because an actual connection in there but I don’t go out of my way to being social for my child.

I like to say that “I’m an independent introverted home body type that gets out for my child.” 😂🤷🏼‍♀️
Usually pushes them far enough away without being like I DONT LIKE YOU, specifically.

Working vs SAHM

Trying to decide if I want to go back to work or become a SAHM. We went through infertility for 3 years and had our baby girl in February.
I’m supposed to go back in a month but cant decide if I’d rather stay home. We can do it financially.
I do like my job but it also stresses me out at times. I would ask to go back 3 days a week if I did go back (already asked just in case, awaiting response) so I’d have 3 days on, 4 days off.
This may be our only child since I’m 32 so I don’t want to miss out on these early months/years. We also have inquired at multiple daycares and haven’t been able to get her a spot.
Advice?

Partner has no sex drive!

So my partner and I have only had sex 4 times since I was about 5 months pregnant. I am now almost 4 months postpartum, and it’s driving me crazy because he won’t talk to me or tell me what the issue is so obviously I think it’s about me! My postpartum depression is already so bad and thinking it’s because of me makes me feel worse! I’ve even told him this and it hasn’t changed much.

Was I rude here? Gym etiquette.

Yesterday I was trying out a new machine, the leg press I’ve avoided it because I’m a little scared of using it and breaking my legs.

Anyways, it took me a minute to figure out how to use it. I wasn’t sure if I had good form so I did a very light test set to start then recorded a few more reps to reassure myself. I don’t like to take long on anything so I did feel bad taking extra time here but this lady was apparently waiting right behind me, arms crossed sitting on a different machine watching me. I got up to put a challenging working weight on and she just assumed I was done. She didn’t ask she just got in my persona space to whisper to leave the weights and tried to sit down. She caught me off guard and I asked her what she said three times brace she was very quiet and had a thick accent. But she was just assuming I was don she didn’t ask me she just said leave the weights on three times. I ended up saying I don’t know what you’re talking about I’m not finished. Exactly that.

Now I feel embarrassed. There are three of these machines too. One was empty but it’s a horizontal one so not exactly the same but still similar. I feel like you’d never catch someone doing this at the barbells. I get watched and rushed almost every time I use a machine but then I’ll be waiting ages (basically finishing my whole session waiting on someone to get out of the abductor machines). Idk I’m just frustrated, embarrassed and tired of the rude people at my gym.

Do people really want to make friends?

I’ll like a honest conversation please.

Do people really want to make friends or they think they want to? I’ve had so many of my chats left unreplied even when it shows the blue read tick.

If my profile or face doesn’t interest you, a kinder letdown than ignoring is better.

It’s kinda frustrating

Mom friends!

Looking for mom friends! Perfectly okay if it’s just texting as I’m a ftm going back to work soon, with 4 boys and my husband is a farmer and I live in South Dakota. Been dealing with PPD which is a first with this being my 5th son but having a hard time with depression and anxiety since one of my sons was killed and it’s making everything after having my youngest hit me like a freight train. So just trying to make new friends and feel more like a person than a human milking machine.
