Feeling confused

I see a lot of women on here looking for text buddies. A lot of them are wanting to have deep meaningful connections through texting alone and I don’t understand it. How can you actually connect with anyone and meet anyone in the area if everyone wants to stay glued to their phones? I want friends so bad but I keep getting rejected and feeling like I’m awkward and stupid for trying to meet up with people and hang out. Like why does no one want to hang out? I’ve had some women message me in my area saying “ hey we don’t live far from each other” and I’ll normally say” great we should hang out” and then they either block me, completely ignore me or act like it’s strange and I don’t get it. If there are any moms in Franklin county who actually want to meet up and hang out I’m always down and I won’t make you feel weird or stupid for just wanting friends

Are you establishing familiarity before suggesting to meet up? Or do you want to meet in person first before getting to know them a bit?

That makes sense It just never occurred to me that people found it off putting I think it’s just because I’m the opposite of someone I didn’t know asked me to hang I would be delighted to go and I think it’s truly the only way to establish a bond is face to face interaction, I also have no luck online. When I do try to reach out and get to know someone I’m alway ignored and I guess I’m just getting really tired depressed and desperate

Sometimes people such as myself don't have the money to hangout with other moms, unlessis somewhere free like a park. So the bests we can do to feel good is chat, we all have diffrent ways of socializing. Nothing wrong in how anyone does it, Just my opinion. 😊

Personally, I won’t hang out with someone unless I’ve been talking to them for awhile & feel comfortable & I’m definitely not bringing my baby around someone I’ve never met in person or even had a conversation with. I talk to quite a few moms on here & I finally felt comfortable enough to ask 1 of the moms to hang out after getting to know her for a month or so. I wouldn’t go so far as to block someone if they asked to hang out but instead explain I’m not comfortable with that since I don’t know them yet.

I totally understand what you mean. With better weather I always think somewhere free (like a park) is a good place for a first couple of times. To be sure everyone vibes 😊

I appreciate everyone sharing their perspectives. I guess I have to realize not everyone has absolutely no one in there life and is as desperate as me. I don’t have transportation or any friends or family in my areas so getting out to the park or library isn’t really possible unless it’s on weekends and it’s always a ghost town on weekends. It’s gotten to the point where my daughter really wants friends too and literally comes to me with a candle to she can make a wish for friend and it literally makes me cry. I guess there are some women out there who are truly alone and stuck and have no one to call on and you get to the point where you don’t know what else to do besides beg

Are there any local events you can go to? Support groups for moms in your area? Maybe you would have better luck meeting someone in person & connecting that way. I saw on here that some moms go to local events at the library to help socialize.

rant

I’m 12 day’s postpartum and my bd is making me crazy. I live with my mom currently (I’m 20 and still a student) and my bf is currently without a place to stay bc he just moved to be closer. My mom and him have never had a relationship even though we’ve been together 2 years almost. He doesn’t like my mom bc of things she’s said and my mom doesn’t like him bc he has never made an effort to get to know any of my family. While I was pregnant he was living and working 4 hours away I had asked him a few times what the plan was once I gave birth and he never told me one. Then I give birth and he expects my mom to let him move in for 2 months. She doesn’t feel comfortable with him spending the night since she doesn’t know him (she’s fine with him being here during the day) so he’s upset that he can’t be with his kid but since my mom told me that he hasn’t even been here. He’s acting like he cares about seeing the baby but hasn’t been over in 2 days. He’s been rude to me multiple times since birth. Talking to a girl I’ve asked him so many times to stop talking to and he won’t. Then the other day he came over and has “play hitting me” he’s 32 and I feel like he should be better than this.

religious and atheists, can you be friends with someone who doesn't share your beliefs, but isn't trying to make you think the same way as them either?

1. yes I can, as long as we don't talk about it
2. yes I can, and I love to debate about religion politely and respectfully
3. nope, my beliefs and world vision are more important to me
4. no, I don't like to surround myself with people who think differently

how to deal with childless bsf giving unsolicited advice

I'm not confrontational nor conflictive at all, I hate to put boundaries as well. If it is for my baby is easy, but for me isn't.
My bsf is in a total different stage of life, and I don't know if it's bc I'm a young mom (we are both 22), but she's always giving me tips and advice of how to take care of my baby. She babysitted a 6mo ONCE and she thinks she knows more than me. I know she probably doesn't have bad intentions, and just want to help, but I'm so done with it.
Yesterday she said I need more time out with girlfriends, and that I should leave my baby (6 months) with his dad and go out for a drink. Again, I know she had good intentions, but 1. I get awfully anxious when I've been apart from my baby. 2. he co-sleeps with me, and will only fall asleep with my boob. 3. I think she's right about seeing my friends more, and getting out, but I'd love to be able to do so with my baby. He's so calm and social, and am of my friend love him and like to spend time with us, no one had asked me to leave him at home.
What should I do????

feeling so lonely

I feel so lonely these days. I’m a little over 3 weeks PP and I can’t shake the overwhelming anxiety. It’s starting to feel like depression, I don’t feel like myself. I cry as soon as the sun goes down and some times through the night. But I’m not even always sure why? I love my baby so much. I don’t dread being with her or anything, I just feel so overwhelmed. My husband is amazing and he’s my best friend , so he’s not the issue. I just have no one else to talk to or relate to. I’m up all night …

Lowest time of my life

I am going through the lowest time of my life and I feel very sad because no one is there for me, not even my so called husband. I cry everyday, wipe my tears and keep going because I refuse to be depressed or defeated. This is a phase and it shall pass.
