Friends always wanting to meet at places near them - how to approach

Whenever I see my friends they always suggest meeting somewhere say 10 mins from them but 40 for me. I'm getting a bit fed up being the only one having to do the longer drive all the time. How would you approach this?!

Have you ever pooped your self in public ?

I witnessed this happen a woman at the park yesterday and my heart went out to her . Is this common ? I’ve had a couple close calls 🫠

Please tell me this is normal

Of course I love this beautiful baby inside me. Of course I am SO UNBELIEVABLY excited to meet him/her (we don’t know the gender) but am I the only one who’s 37 weeks pregnant who doesn’t feel this unrelenting undying maternal connection to their baby? So far my baby has been my little buddy - we play tag through my belly, I love when they’re active and knowing that 50% of me and 50% of the person I love most in this world have created life but I still don’t have that connection I keep hearing about. Is something wrong with me?

Maybe I’m a weirdo

I am single 40 year old with two children and I feel I don’t have any friends. I find it hard to make connections and when I do speak with potential female friends, I think I over compensate and talk for England. All I would like is a friend who I can be my true self with.

Alone and disconnected

I moved to an entire new state i March of last year after losing my job. My fiance and I were in different states because of our careers. We took that as a sign it was time for me to move so we could actually be together year round.

I was super active and immersed in community before the move. I was on a social volleyball, kick back, and softball team. I loved all my teammates. We bbq’d , hung out, really bonded into a family. My coworkers were my girls and we were tight. I had gym friends, college friends, my best friend. I MADE A FAMILY. Mind you I wasn’t even from this area.

But for some reason I haven’t been able to find that where I currently am. Now I was pregnant by September so that made it even harder to get out but I tried really hard before that. I found a gym, I tried some of the social leagues, I researched places to make friends on social media and it just still hasn’t worked. My pregnant was so lonely.

My fiance works 7 days a week and his career doesn’t allow a lot of spare time during the season. So I’m just feeling soooo alone and it’s make my PPD hard to get through.

Idk what to do anymore.

Who’s back at work?

If you are back, how have you found it and how did you feel before going back?
If you haven’t gone back how are you feeling about returning?
I’m personally dreading being away from my baby. Hopefully we can support eachother on this post 🤍

Feeling alone

One thing I hear a lot when trying to find friends is that our generation(gen z) causes their own loneliness because of not putting in effort or trying to be apart of communities. I’m not gonna say no one’s doing that but you can’t just assume everyone does this. I have a good reason why I’m not involved with the community and it’s because I don’t have a license. Like if you don’t have a license or car you don’t have independence and you can’t just decide to go be apart of literally anything. It’s up to someone else and it’s on their time. I’ve tried several times to reach out to my community for help only to be told to just go get my license like I’m just some bum. I can’t tell you why I can’t pass the test but I’ve failed it 6 times meanwhile everyone that’s in the car with me can’t fathom how I fail it. I don’t know what my struggle is but I do know I’m not gonna get help with it and no one cares and I’m probably going to be dealing with this for the rest of my life
