I don't know exactly when it started, but I am not good at keeping friends. If I'm being totally honest, I'm not that great at making friends in the first place. Every person that I at one point considered a close friend, is almost a stranger to me now. If it wasn't for Facebook I would have no idea what or how many of them are doing. It's quite sad. And I'm obviously the common denominator. These days I have accquaintances, with the exception of a couple of people. And of course those ladies live far away from me. Go figure.
Getting married and having a child obviously changes everything and most of my friends aren't at that stage yet. It's not easy finding things in common with people who are used to going out whenever they please. So why not make other mommy friends you say? It's not that easy. I like to have things in common with other moms. If I feel like I have to force myself to talk to you, it's probably not going to blossom into anything. I could probably put myself out there more. But, as I mentioned in my previous post, I don't drive. LOSER.
As the years go by I've started to embrace my hemit-ness. It does get lonely sometimes. I pray my son is nothing like me in this aspect. I think that's why I feel so much guilt not getting him as much social interaction as I'd like. But he's only 4 so I should probably chill the eff out. I
