I miss having close female friendships
I’m f29 and recently got married and had a baby 2 months ago I have a couple of female friends but we don’t talk all that much. I have really fond memories throughout my life where I had close female friendships where we would belly laugh and talk all the time. Now, when I try and reach out to people through messages I don’t get much back and no one reaches out to check in with me.
I was living in a city up north and have moved down to be near family during my maternity leave and don’t know anyone in the area bar my childhood best friend, who I was soooo soo close with at the time. I reached out to her and we met up for a drink and I had a nice time, I messaged her later and her replies have been pretty sporadic. I think it’s all starting to take a real toll on my self esteem and I’m really starting to think I’ll never be able to have those female friendships I once valued so much. I think maybe I’ve changed as a person and become quieter and more in my shell too as a result. I guess im just asking for some advice or just wanted to be honest about how I was feeling somewhere.
