Now I don’t think I’m rude, I’m just an introvert. I wish I was more extroverted 😭
Just a couple examples. Mums at nursery I heard arranging a play date round one of their houses. My child is BOTH their friends too. But it’s fine.. I get don’t have to invite the whole class.
Then I go to a baby group (second baby) and a few of the mums met up for a Costa prior to start time, they mentioned how they text each other about something etc.
And I’m just like. Am I missing something? I have conversations with these ladies too, more so the baby group mums but still.
How do I become more extroverted?? I’m not lonely by any means. I have friends, I have family and a busy life. But still feel there’s always room for more..?

I took inspiration from an old boss. She made a point of always smiling when she entered a room. (Smiling like you've bumped into an old friend)
I do that, especially at work and find that people are very perceptive to it. I'm naturally shy and believe me I've heard my share of: "Smile, it might never happen" quotes. I understand it sounds like torture, but at first, you are an actress, and soon it happens without trying.
