I'm always the “third friend”
I was always the “pretty one” or “athlete” but never the social one.
Now I'm almost 30, and I think I just have severe social anxiety. I have 2 kids, and they have friends, and by the time I finally feel comfortable around their parents, I find out the other parents have been SUPER close friends with them all along. Then I feel intrusive.
I can't make close friendships. I crave it, and I feel needy (which makes it worse) but I know it helps my kids too, because more play dates and what not. I need people to like me more first, and I'm making my kids this way, and it SUCKS.
HOW to I make stable relationships as a 27 yo mom, who became a mom at 19, with (I guess) terrible conversation skills??
