[quote=Anonymous]I feel so weird about friendships, like I’m falling short. My close friends are literally scattered around the world. I’ve made friends in my new city (moved from dc), but they are all 1:1 friendships. I don’t have a big group or even a small group to do things with. I’ve noticed that the groups that exist where I live are all women who knew each other from elementary and HS, and moved back here after college or grad school. That’s fair and what I would have done with my friendships if we’d all ended up in the same place, but it’s hard to be on the outside of it. My kids are at a private that pulls heavily from a few larger neighborhoods where a lot of people return once they’re adults, so there are generational ties that I’m on the outside of. I feel it most intensely in the summer at our club and on long weekends when everyone at school is going places together.

I’ve accepted that I’m the outsider, I’m grateful for the friends I do have, and I’d be lying if I said there weren’t certain times of year when I feel like I’m pressing my face against the glass and watching other people’s lives. [/quote]
