I feltthesame way. I was in Virginia for four years. First year I was having fun and social, probably would have made friends but then second year I started doing ivf which I found isolating. Thurs year same thing. Then babies didn't help. Toddlers too much work. I eventually moved to be closer to family.

I feel the same way. So lonely.

Same here, my church is so unbelievably cliquey.

Glad someone else feels this way!

I have friends from college and work but I've found it hard to make friends with other moms. They are all nice but nothing beyond a cordial hello. I'm sorry. Keep trying. You'll meet someone. I reached out to a few cousins that I wasn't close to and now I have them to text and turn to.

So your kids have no friends? Why not be friends with your kids' friends' moms?

I made friends when my 4 yr old started playing soccer with the county rec league...I saw the parents at practice every week on the sidelines and got to know each other as we talked and watched our kids practice.

Have you tried an approach like that?

You never know where you will find someone. People at my kid's school seemed only to want to socialize with people in their respective neighborhoods, People at my church had their established groups at weren't very welcoming, people at my neighborhood swimming pool just didn't seem to have much in common. The only place I seemed to have something in common with people was a moms that I started to talk to while my daughter was doing gymnastics. 10 years later, still my best friend.

Don't give up. Hopefully you will find just one person that you click with in one of your circles and that one person can grow into a small group. I also found it very difficult to make friends in this area, but most of the people I eventually became friends with were met thru my kids.

Where are all of you located that are having so much trouble finding friends?

Do you attend church or a school functions? You meet people through social events so you need to go to them.

Well ladies, friendship is a two-way street. You have to make a little bit of effort here. If you're working full-time and spend the rest of the time at home, what do you expect? Friends won't just fall into your lap.

I am in the same boat - I work at home so have zero social interactions outside of my family, it sucks, I miss having friends

Moved here 2 years ago, have young kids, work full time. I don't have a single friend. No one to text with, no one to have a girls night with, no play dates. Everyone already has their social circles and are not interested in adding new people. I'm honestly starting to get depressed, even my husband noticed that I don't seem like myself. Just feel lonely.
