Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
I try not to compare myself to others. And I definitely try not to base opinions of me or self worth off of social media. But man, here lately it just feels like I have zero friends, nor do people even want to interact with me. I have always gotten along with everyone and had several friends. But not a lot of REALLY REALLY close friends. Then once I got married and had kids that amount of people got slimmer and slimmer. Now I'm begging at scraps from the friends I thought I had and I find myself getting so discouraged by sheer lack of interaction with people on social media. For instance, my husband and I were having a playful disagreement so I posted a question on instagram asking if people liked, didn't like, or never seen this specific movie. So far 15 people saw my post. 3 people answered. And the people who saw it are people I consider myself to be friendly with or consider friends not like social media strangers. Like am I now that unlikeable? I just wish I had friends but being this stay at home mom with a crazy busy life as kind of diminished that. Just wish it was different.

My best friend ruined my day with her immature, bitchy self. If she doesn't get her way, she has a tizzy fit. I told her weeks ago that I couildn't go to yard sales with her on 9/12 because i have a hair appointment. She wasn't happy. I also told her that I don't have any money to go to yard sales.

The Friday before Labor Day just before we left, the options given to me basically were either quit of be fired, and if I were to stay on I were to be put on an improvement plan, which is pretty much synonymous with getting fired. I was going to do the improvement plan and just ride it out until I found another job due to money and due to the fact that I did not want to quit without another job....
Social media is full of people who are more concerned with the number of "likes", follows or shares they generate for themselves than reacting the other people. Do you really want to become one of those people?
If you want friends, get out and live your life instead of counting comments on Instagram.
Have you seen any at your kid's school, kid's activities, birthday parties, walking in your neighborhood, etc.
I have seen that to be a great way to make some new friends.
I agree that maybe your friends from before are at a different place in their lives than you are. Doesn't mean they don't like you anymore or that they still don't want to be friends. Just that they are doing different things.
But you are doing different things too. And it would be great to make some new friends with other young Moms. They can relate more to your current life. Not your past life or the online life. Good luck, hope this helps.
