why is adult female friendship so hard

Question

so I'm 25. pregnant with my second child. engaged. very stable and what some may consider boring life. lol I was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, had multiple surgeries and radiation. during that time being a new mom and going through that I had literally lost every single person in my life, other than my grandmother and fiance. 
unfortunately because of the medication I cant drink at all, I get crazy sick, we are a sober house hold because my fiance is 7 year recovered addict... we are "boring" no bars because we feel it's a waste of money... no clubbing.. so we dont get to do much, or seems like that's all anyone wants to do. 
when I have renewed friendships with old school friends (I moved into a house in my old neighborhood) they seem to talk to us for a brief time and then never speak with me again.. idk what to do anymore. I wish making friends would be easy.. or I could find someone with similar interests.. 
what could I do to help make friends?

Answer

Why is not drinking Boring? I am 24 with 2 kids and whoever I go out with my friends we never drink we go to the movies, see plays, meet up for coffee, go to the beach or a hike etc. If people think you’re boring because you don’t drink they aren’t people you want to be around. If you want to meet more people you should go out with your fiancé or try to join groups on Facebook of people with similar interests.

Answer

I have a lot of difficulty meeting new people as well! I have found connecting with people through baby groups and play dates have really helped. Those are truely the best females to build a connection with as they know what you are gping through on a 'mom' level. Many times, good friendships and relationships will build from there.

Answer

I’m 25...have 2 kids and none of my friends drinks. The friends I have I made at my church. They have kids the same age as me and we all have a lot in common. You could try that or if you arnt religious a lot of times taking your child to a fun class at the ymca or library can help you find friends that have kids and understand what you’re going through.

Answer

well I wish you lived near me. my so and I have no friends that like to do anything other than drink. 😑

Answer

I’m 25 with a 4 year old and an almost 2 month old. My best friend is actually my sister-in-law. We both have kids the same the same age and have a lot in common. When I got married and had kids, a lot of our friends vanished. So now we keep close with family. My husband has a close friend or 2 that he hangs out with. I have only 1 or 2 friends that I hang out with. But since having a newborn I kind of keep to myself 😕

Answer

I’m not sure it has much to do wth the medical issues. Most women I know. Me in particular. Lost most all friends when they had kids. I’ve got 2,2 and under and I hardly ever see anyone.
