Socializing as a parent
Hello, so just recently I encountered a fellow twin mom who has daughters a year older than mine. I got super excited and I asked her if we could schedule a play date. She got excited too and gave me her contact info. The thing is, I also wanted her number to possibly be friends. I feel so desperate to have someone I could relate to in person because it literally feels like I’m alone in this. I don’t know anyone else with multiples and I have zero friends in person unfortunately. I haven’t made a friend in person since maybe a decade ago. I’m not anti social but I have terrible chances at life with people and I live in a very small town. I really crave a sisterhood or a best friend, at times it really does get me down in the dumps seeing all these groups of other moms with genuine friendships. As soon as I became a mom, a lot of things changed for me and loneliness feels like it’s more than ever now. I guess I’m asking for advice on how to not act like a creepy desperate person and to be able to talk to people again. This is embarrassing that I even have to ask how to socialize again but I’m hoping someone else can relate on here. I’m not shy by any means either, I just really don’t want to reek of desperation. 😞
