Do you have "real" friends??

I'm realizing that I don't.  I lived in NY my whole life & had loads of friends, we called, went for coffee, got together, etc.  Then I moved to FL, now those friends are all "virtual", no one really calls or anything, and it's so far that the only visitor I get from home is my mom, not that I'm complaining - I love it when she's here.  I do have 1 friend down here that I grew up with, but more & more I'm beginning to wonder about that too. I have endlessy listened to her problems, given advice when asked, been a steady, kwim.  Whenever I say something about having a rough day or start to talk about an issue I might be having, the phone call ends, it's really f*cked up.  I have met some ladies down here & every once in a blue we get together for a playdate, I have tried setting moms night out/in up, throwing all sorts of get togethers, but they don't really seem to pan out.  I don't have anyone that I call & talk to on the phone that lives here, its freaking pathetic & I'm getting so tired of it.  I put myself out there, but feel like I get nothing in return.  Am I the only one that feels this alone, not that I'm alone, my kids are always up my butt, lol.  But seriously.... am I really a loser?!?!

Lol I don't think you are a loser, I feel exactly the same way. I had kids and then it seems like all my friends drifted away, I have a few with kids but the work a lot or live an hour away. We make plans also but they don't pan out either. It sucks. So feel better your not the only one =)

I always say that if it wasn't for working I wouldn't have friends.

Nope. I don't have any desire for IRL friends. Tried it, didn't work out and I don't think I can trust anyone enough after what happened last time. So I am here! Cafemom friends are all I need for now, lol!

I have only one "real" friend, my sister. I have some other friends, but no one I would really trust like my sister.

 A lot of moms don't have friends since their DH and kids come before friends now. it doesn't make you a loser.

-My friends live all over the country now. I do have PTO friends...but I wouldn't share anything personal with them. The one that hears my personal problems is my mom.
