Help, I have no friends! Advice?

Question

I'm a 23 year old first time mum to a 4 month old baby. Ever since leaving school when you all go your separate ways I haven't really had any friends. There is 1 girl who I keep in touch with and see every few months but she is always too busy to meet up more often.

It's starting to depress me a bit that I haven't really got any friends to turn to or even just chat with and go on days out with whilst me partner is at work. Some days the only person I speak/ see is my partner.

Have any of you got no friends and are ok with it?
 Or does anyone have any tips on how would be best to make some new friends. I'm very wary about imposing on other peoples friendships and get a bit anxious about trying to make new friends 😕 I feel like it's a no win situation sometimes.

Thanks in advance.

Answer

Find a mommy friend! A play group or a mom to go to the park and a coffee with

Answer

Mommy and me groups of any kind are a good way to get out of the house and meet new moms who may be in the same place you are emotionally. No one wants to talk about being depressed when you have a new baby but most of us have been there. Those days that we are overwhelmed, sleep deprived, can't remember the last time we had a moment to ourselves and wish time travel really existed. I found myself talking to my cat and saying allowed everything I did.... mommy's cumming to get you, mommy needs  you to sleep, please eat for mommy I felt crazy and isolated until I looked up some local groups. Your state's department of heath website, your OBGYN or midwife, or pediatrician office are all good places to start looking for something that fits into your life,likes and time schedule. 
 Best wishes and congratulations

Answer

I always had trouble making friends. 
I didn't want to intrude in friendships, I'm shy at first and mainly it's he'd to make new friends when you're older I believe , for many reasons. I completely understand you.
With your new baby thought you can meet other new mommies. 
The one mistake I would always make war that I always expected for other people to contract me because I didn't want to bother them which is silly... So if you meet a potential friend give a try !!! Text first ! There's nothing to lose !!

Answer

I have work colleagues and a couple of friends but like you I don't catch up with them a lot, can go months in between visits and some days I only speak to my partner. I'm ok with it. But  if you are not, you have a young baby maybe join a mothers group or play group and meet other women with children the same age.

Answer

Why don't you see what local baby groups there is? Good fun for the little one and I can garuntee that there will be loads of other lonely ladies looking for new friends aswell, there is nothing worse then being lonely i no, so get yourself out there x
