So I had my son at 17, maybe not the most responsible thing I have done, but I wouldn't change a thing. I have no one I socialize with my age...actually I have no friends period. I feel like I am on a different level than most kids my age (I am 19 now), but I still don't feel like an adult.
I get so lonely sometimes and I think not having social interaction with anyone but df's family and mine is the biggest reason, I have been searching for part time work, but no luck so far. Has anyone else felt like they are an alien since having a child?
i am 29 years of age almost 30 and i have had one hell of a time making friends myself. my hubby is ten years younger than me, so when most people hear that they think i am a sicko or something. but i am not..i love him so much.
i also have trouble being social with certain kinds of people, i sometimes feel as though the world is out to get me...but in reality i am just paranoid.
i truly do not have any female friends outside the net. sounds pathetic i know..but i know how you feel.
you just take one day at a time, and you try and meet new people.
Just as long as you love your child, your family and is taking care of them, don't be sad. You are very blessed to have them in your life. If you'd like to also fnd some time to yourself, you could join some community groups, if you have a religion, you can join in your church group or maybe enroll in some of your community's recreational classes. That's what I did and I met some wonderful friends whom now I call my extended family. Belongingness in a community is important. Goodluck!
I'm almost 40 and so not a social person. It gets lonely for me at times. But I have issues with trusting people. I mainly hang out with just my immediate family.
LOL yes. I had 3 before 25 and divorced. I didn't know anyone my age in my situation. Now just as I am down to one son ( he is in local college) I get a huge surprise and become pregnant at 44. So now I don't know anyone as old as me with a baby. You might try a local moms and me type play group and concentrate on finding kids your LO's age and that way even though you might be younger you will have something in common to start with. Good Luck Mama
