Why is it so hard to make friends?

I joined this app to meet Mom friends with kids around the same age as my little one. I feel like I’m not getting anywhere. I’ve talked to some people but it seems like I put more effort into keeping the convos going and then I stop because the convo just dies. I’ve never had an easy time making friends basically my whole life. I don’t want that for my son. Is it just me or does anyone else have this problem too? I have just always felt like I don’t fit in anywhere.

I mean it would be nice if you could be visible because we can be friends. We probably ain't in the same area but we can be texting buddies.

Don't give up!
I had this app for 5yr it will be 6 in February!
I finally made a connection an she is honestly the best! It very hard as women as we are all very judgmental.
I mean some say they are not but might be in certain categories
Just dont give up an keep looking u will find your person

It's not just you. It's hard finding friends on the apps - people just have such short attention spans these days, they can forget quickly about things that are not immediately relevant or urgent. Easily done with a baby, so wouldn't take it personally. What I tend to do, rather than spend ages on online conversations that might just fizzle out, is propose a coffee/playdate meetup quite quickly if the person seems nice. You won't really know if this is going to work until you meet

3 years ago I made two friends in here that are now my best friends, so it does happen. However now, if I start a conversation, no one seems to bother to answer or keep the convo going. Maybe if you posted with your account we could’ve had a chat. Who knows, maybe we are in the same area.

mom bff?

hello! i’m brittany. 25, nc, i am looking for my bff! simply put, i miss girl hood! random ft calls, pointless conversations, random handouts, and just having a good time. i like to believe i am a “middle maintenance” friend 😂 neither high or low. i’m a mom of one. I enjoy fitness/ wellness, cars, romance/ action movies, and being outdoors! feel free to reach out if you’re interested and want to connect! :))

Pen pal?

Anyone want a pen pal but a legit one that’s going to reply and isn’t going to take forever? Lol

Am I wrong? I cut off my husband intimately a week and half ago after I’ve decided it was time for a separation.

Since then he’s been loosing it. It took taking away sex for him to care and understand how serious I am about the separation. Which only makes me understand more that the decision I’m making is right. I will make this short. We have had troubles since Jan. 2025 and I realized I really didn’t wanna fight for someone like him. Someone with his mindset. The point is I made all this very clear with repeated conversations. Many confrontations I did. All the vulnerable spills I made. I even got to the point I couldn’t get wet for sex anymore. I thought something was wrong with me. I was not enjoying sex how I use to enjoy sex. I don’t want him sexually and I can’t just fuc him because he wants. It’s not fair to me. I hate him for making me resent him this long/much. And now he realizes it because sex is not in the picture? That’s the type of person I’m dealing with. Did he ever care about a connect that wasn’t physical? He says I’m wrong for all this.

So my husband 36M said he can live without having sex
