[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walk to school. Do an activity with other friends. Host a party or larger playdate. Do smaller one on one playdates with kids your kids really get along well with.[/quote]

OP. I'm doing all this, but many people are too busy to join activities, playdates, or parties. The only people who RSVP yes are socially awkward or boring. I feel like I'm doomed to hang out with people I don't actually like because all the interesting people's dance cards are full. [/quote]

Wow. I just lost all sympathy for you. I hope the “interesting” people are judging you just as harshly as you judge the “socially awkward or boring” people. Sounds like you didn’t click with the people who RSVPd yes (or you didn’t give them a chance b/c they didn’t fully entertain you). It speaks volumes about you that you blame the lack of connection on those poor souls (and what you perceive as their personality flaws) rather than considering that you were partially responsible for lackluster get togethers. Just because you didn’t enjoy spending time with them doesn’t mean they are 100% the problem here. And by the way, they made time to attend your party, at least show some gratitude for that!
