[quote=Anonymous]Yup, I get it OP. I'm a friendly, helpful person. especially in any setting involving kids because I'm trying to model good behavior for my kid and I just think when you're thrown together with people in that way, being pleasant goes a long way.

Most of the people in the PTA or at my kids' activities are standoffish and a lot of people seem to prefer this approach. I think it's weird. I do think there's a weird psychology where the harder someone seems to please, the more important and worthwhile others view them.

I don't have energy for those games. So I've just stuck with friendly/helpful and have let go of the idea that I will develop lasting friendships with these people. Our kids will eventually not be together (or will be older and more independent).

I already have friends from my pre-kids life and I love hanging with my family so this isn't devastating. It does seem like a missed opportunity to build some community but you can't go that alone so oh well.[/quote]
