Do moms really want to socialize?
Hi, to all the moms who come across this and take a moment to read it. My name is Tania, I’m a mom of three, and to be honest, I haven’t been doing very well lately.
I had my third baby exactly 4 months ago, and like many of us, these past few months have been a bit tough. When it comes to motherhood itself, maybe not so much—just the normal challenges of this stage—but overall, it’s been really hard for me.
I don’t think I’ve even been on this app for a full month yet, but like most of us, I downloaded it hoping to connect and socialize with other moms. I thought it might help me open up more and build friendships with women who have gone through or are going through similar experiences.
I’ve noticed most of us share a love for coffee (honestly, I think it’s what gives us that superpower to be moms, wives, and women every day). But to be honest, I haven’t had the kind of interaction or connection I was hoping for. It hurts that the few people I’ve reached out to don’t go beyond a simple greeting.
Lately I’ve been feeling really drained, like I’m not showing up the way I want to. I can’t say I have postpartum depression because I’m not a doctor and I don’t want to self-diagnose, but I truly thought being in a space full of moms would help me feel less alone.
It just makes me a little sad to feel like people aren’t really open to connecting. I don’t quite understand what everyone is looking for here… but anyway, I just wanted to share how I’ve been feeling.
