Therapists live, online right now, from BetterHelp: Want a more immediate answer from others like you? I have a few mom friends who aren’t conveniently located, so for the most part, it’s just me doing my mom thing on my own. Learn about us. I don't notice your fabulous choice of color on your new manicure (as I tooootally would have before). You, who showed up to our engagement parties, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, weddings, baby gender announcement parties and baby showers.
We need you. This is me- I could have written your post, I love pottering and spending time on my own around the house doing hobbies.I don't need a big Saturday out in town dressed up and shopping...the idea sounds hideous!!! I do sometimes think it would be nice to have more friends but I'm just not able to go through with it! She doesn't have kids, and she is a very intentional, quality friend. I have a couple of long term friends that I catch up with once in a blue moon and a few local friends that I meet up with occasionally. I don’t really see the point. Anxiety makes me overthink everything and undervalue myself.
In friendships. Let's face it: Social interactions are important. I suffer from horrendous social anxiety aswell so that probably explains why my friendships have fizzled out over the years.
Every so often I make what I think is a new friend, but generally find the men are really after a shag, and the women are two faced and quick to ditch over superficial stuff. All the pressure to have to drink loads and stay out all night, all the bitchiness and gossiping, and basically just feeling like I couldn't be myself and say no to anything.

The newborn who demanded so much attention that I could tell you when he fed, slept and pooed last... but I couldn't take the time to look you in the eyes while you were telling me about your life. The friends I have now either live a long way from me or are of a completely different generation, so I don't go out anywhere with any of them.When my kids were younger the other mums would sometimes talk to me at the school gates, but I find that kind of social interaction so hard, I'm sure they all thought I was weird because I didn't talk much and struggled with eye contact. I suppose I'd like more people I can call on in an emergency.
No friends. It convinces me that I’m safer inside of my room. I love my own company, and that of my family and that seems enough for me.I am aware that I am not normal and I do worry that others judge me negatively.
They need others around them to survive and thrive. Thank you for writing. Little kids don’t function that way. Submit your writing to be published on Thought Catalog. She wrote me a note about a friendship that ended after her very close friend had a baby. Is it weird that I don't care about not having friends?
And I’m also an introvert by nature.
9. People tend to be pack animals. Even though her gut warns her to stay home, visiting the island becomes inevitable—and more dangerous than she ever could have imagined.
Here's part of what she shared with me (posted with her permission): I made a concerted effort to go visit her so that she didn't have to leave her house with her daughter, a stroller, diapers, etc. I hope you will give yourself that opportunity. I find regular meets with the friends I do have quite exhausting as I can't be fully myself.
Your adult self can make sure you get some support and guidance now. I let them think I don’t care at all instead of letting them see I care too much.
Shame on me. It makes me wonder if I’m talking too much or if my face has turned red or if my outfit makes me look unattractive. Dr. Marie is licensed as both a psychologist and marriage and family counselor. It’s certainly possible that you are right that you built a defense mechanism in response to early rejection. I know that I'd likely feel the same way: cherishing every moment; taking time for the few rare, quiet times with my husband while he was home from work; using the 30 minutes while the baby is sleeping to take a shower.
I can relate exactly to what you are saying. She is fair, dedicated and authentic.
I'm very happy spending time with my partner and children, or being on my own. I have an announcement: But when did welcoming your little miracle into the world segue into a funeral for your relationships with childless friends? When I do see the few friends I have (which isn't often at all anymore) we just do something simple like go to the cinema and then have a coffee afterwards, or we'll have a takeaway round mind. I'm a bit like this, but with no DP at home, which makes it a bit harder.
Thank you for loving us, even when we're too distracted to show we care. Ari has absolutely no interest in visiting the island resort where traumatic memories are repressed. But right now, we're interested in different things. I think you must be me Booboo.I had friends at school, university and work, but I always felt like the only thing we really had in common was our location and situation. And is it even possible to shake oneself out of this kind of apathy?
Do you find that friendships are very important to you? That I would feel uncomfortable if I decided to go out to a restaurant or a bar, because there would be too many people around to look at me. Don’t settle for just anyone as a friend.
Instead of having some fun talking to the person I like, it only causes me more stress. Thank you for being patient with us. The other friends left a loooong time ago.
