I feel like a child 😭🥲

I feel like a little kid whose heart is breaking because I’m realizing just how lonely I am. I’m 26 years old, I go to school at my local university, and I started in Spring 2025. We’re about to enter Spring 2027, and I still haven’t made any real friends. Not one person I can randomly text, make plans with, grab coffee with, or just talk to about life. I think what hurts the most is realizing how much I miss having friendships. I’m surrounded by people at school, yet somehow I feel so alone. I never thought I’d be 26 and feel this lonely. Honestly, my heart is breaking.

Looking for 29 to 35 year old, HAPPILY married, sahm, non overly social media crazed, non messy, non crazy, outdoorsy, low maintenance, normal women to get together regularly. House swapping or public meet up swaps. A true village. No competition, no weird ulterior motives, just healed, happy, regular mommas. Spiritual. Doesn't push their agendas.

Bestfriend

Hey everyone, my bestfriend went into early labour and had her beautiful baby. However, due to medical reasons her baby has been in Nicu. I really want to be there for her but not sure how I can help? Her family lives really close by so she's got practical support....

8 months pregnant and relationship gone pear shaped

I am now 8 months pregnant and my partner (not married) has asked me to leave as he no longer wants to be in this relationship. We have a 3 year old daughter together as well. I dont have my own transport, so cant just pack up and leave and feeling very stressed out. Has anyone gone through anything similar and how did you manage being pregnant with a toddler. I feel so overwhelmed right now.

hiii! This is very outside my comfort zone but I don’t have anyone to talk to…

anyone open to giving advice/being a listening ear? potentially over ft? Preferably someone who can try to empathize with my partner…

Hope everyone’s having a nice day ❤️
