[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Our social circle definitely shrunk during the pandemic, though I don't think I'd even call it a social circle--it was a few moms from preschool that I'd do playdates with occasionally, but we lost touch during the pandemic.  I realized that they probably weren't even real friends since we went three years without seeing each other.  Or rather I tried to keep in touch but they didn't seem interested so I stopped reaching out and they never reached back out.  I always seem to be the person who no one ever really thinks about contacting.

I think about moving often, but DH doesn't want to do it and says that there's no guarantee we would make friends or things would be better socially for us in a new place.  I do think he's right about that.  But I realized recently that if we did move, there's no one I would even miss, since we never really made friends here and have zero community or village here.  That's pretty sad after living in a new place for over 15 years.

We're not going to move to the places where our families are, for various reasons.  So I think we're stuck here until the kids go to college, but this area has never felt like home to me since we have no community or village here.  I don't know how to make it feel more like home.  After the kids go to college we plan to retire somewhere else.[/quote]
