Why is it so hard to make friends?

I've been going to baby groups by myself since I'm new to the area, and it's so hard to establish myself in a group of people who already know each other. I went to an antenatal class before birth, and no one seemed interested in meeting up regardless of how often I invite or ask them to things. I'm new to the area with no family around me, and I am feeling really defeated and lonely. I always imagined mum life to be different...

I have lived in Dorset 9 years and still don’t know anyone and haven’t really made friends. I find Dorset mums quite cliquey and most have long friendships so don’t want a new mum in the group honestly worst place I have lived for making friends

Hey, know that feeling! How old is your LO and which baby groups do you go to? 😊

Give me a message if you would like to meet up!😊

I feel the same. I’ve been to a few baby sensory groups and used to put quite abit of effort in on here too messaging people and what not, but found it hard to make friends. Sadly I gave up and just accepted that it’s me and my little girl, and that’s ok. I still get down abit though when I’m out and about and see groups with their babies doing things, or peoples posts on socials with their muma and baby friends and I’m not a part of anything. I wanted to do it for my little one too so that’s she’s interacting and having fun with other babies, but I’m trying to learn that I’m more than enough. Can be lonely though so nice to know I’m not the only one. X
