I am a mum of two with a great career and home life but when it comes to friends I feel like a complete failure!
I feel like i am a burden and my friends go out of their way to avoid me. I have no real connection with any of my girl friends any more and I don't know what it is I have done. It isn't just one of them its all of them. They always come to me when they need something but otherwise I don't hear from them.
Also I try to meet new people and I really just feel like they think I am a werido. I am 30 and feel like I have zero friends, its really a lonely feeling and gets me quite down.
I am kind, I'm not judgemental, I am a but awkward but I am mostly a loving person. I am not really one for gossip and I do like to spend a lot of time at home with my kids but I just don't seems to meet people who seem to be keen on being friends with me.
Does anyone else feel like this?
What have you done to over come it?

Its hard to make friends as you get older. I've found I've outgrown some of my friends. Find something you like doing ( for me, it was writing) then join a group of like minded people. I joined a writing group through my library and made some great friends that way. I also made friends with my sons friends mums... That worked out well cos we could hang out with the kids... That awkward stuff passes, you just have to push through it and when you find someone you want to be friends with, push through 'the weather' by finding a connection or common ground on a deeper level.
