Anyone else struggle socially at mum groups?
Iโm quite an introverted person, and even before becoming a mum I already struggled socially, even back in my home country in Asia. Being new to the UK has made it even more challenging socially. I can speak English, but sometimes I still struggle with knowing the right words to say or what topics to talk about, which makes me feel even more self-conscious.
Now that Iโm a mum, I really want to become more social for the sake of my baby. I donโt want him to grow up feeling socially awkward or shy like me. Iโve tried meeting up with my antenatal group, but I didnโt really connect with them. I also tried a church mums group and felt the same way.
Next month Iโm planning to attend a sensory class and Iโm hoping that might help. Has anyone else felt like this? Any tips or advice would really mean a lot.
