Wednesday Confessions
I decided to hook up with Kathryn @ Singing Through The Rain, and do a confession.Today my confession is: I suck royally at making friends here. I have never been a shy person. I actually have always been outgoing but I feel like it is so soooo hard to make decent friends here. I mean don't get me wrong, I have a few friends that I do things with and I am a part of a mommy group, but that's not the type of friendship I am talking about. I want real friends.Friends I can feel super comfortable with leaving my children with.Friends that will support my crazy decisions.Friends that can come over for dinner and let our kids play for a while, and actually have an adult conversation with.Friends that possibly go to the same church as me.
I know... big time whiner.But after going home for the funeral and seeing all my very best friends, its hard to not want someone to be friends with like that.
I think as you move into your 20-30's it's hard to make those close friendships that were sometimes created in high school or college. People get so busy in their lives raising kids, having careers it's just not as easy.
ReplyDeleteIt is definately harder to make real REAl friends these days. I have this problem, too.
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same way! At home in GA, I have one friend and its more superficial than all warm and fuzzy. Its such a hard thing.
ReplyDeleteI just posted about this very subject, & I'm definitely in the same boat. People tend to mistake "acquaintance" with friend. Big difference!
ReplyDeleteI am in a VERY similar spot right now.. and you have every right to whine, because it is tough! But the best of friends come along when you least expect it, and when you need them the most.. so keep looking out! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one eeling this way!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand! It's so hard to make good friends, real friends. And they are definitely few and far between. Hope you find some good friends soon! :) Thanks for linking up!
