[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is HS and I had hoped that I could make a few friends from the school events. But these events always remind me of my own high school days with the “in” crowd and queen bees. The trigger my insecurities from back then. I hate wanting to be liked and fit in, just like I did back then. I’m a professional and confident in my job, but I shake in a sea of impeccably dressed moms at a beautiful house.[/quote]

I feel the same way. Also at a high school (all girls). I’m wondering if we are at the same school. There are SO many parent events. My kid is very well adjusted and has lots of friends already. I, however, have no desire to make friends via the events.  If it happens naturally through no effort, then fine. But I have plenty of friends and at my kids last K-8 exhausted myself trying to get to know people when my daughter entered in later elementary.  I made some great friends but am done and don’t want to sit through a bunch of small talk and forced conversation with people I don’t intend to get to know better. [/quote]
