Looking for a best friend

NYC Anyone?

There are so many people here, but its still so lonely. I want to make friends, but I feel like in my neighborhood its really impossible if you don't fit the mold. I live on the UES, but I am by no means rich. My husband and I went from dual to single income. The women in my community talk about nannys, private schools, and plastic surgery. I never had friends here to begin with, so now that I'm becoming a Mom I understand how even more isolating it is.

I'll be honest, I'm a hermit. When I don't have someone to go places with, I very rarely leave my apartment. Would anybody in this group like to do both? Apartment/netflix and chill + go on a walk along the river or go to the park?

Being 32 weeks has made even smaller errands feel immobilizing.

I'll make tea. I'll even spill the tea! I'm also a great listener. If there's someone a few months behind me in their pregnancy I'd even love to pass down my baby items as they become available to another Mom looking to save money.

I could really use some advice from other people who went through difficult mental stressers while pregnant, encouragement, and some in-person friendship. I believe in God, and am spiritual. If we have that in common thats awesome, but I'll never try to push it on you.

I am scared to meet people, but figure this is worth a try.

Sorry if this comes off as desperate.
