i have no friends so it makes me mad my bf does .
i never had the best abilities to make friends. in high school i skipped alot and i guess i came off awkward or quiet? that no one ever approached me or gave me the time to talk when i tried.i started a bad habit of dating just to get friends. i never really kept the bf or “friends”. now im a mom and i do my best to let my bf the father of my child do whatever but then again, it makes me sad because i wish i had my own friends asking to go do something fun. we end up in arguments alot because i see how he makes friends while im still waiting to see if my “friends “ even bother to text me . ive tried to make friends on my own . i guess im just not good at it since no one comes around.

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with friends, because I know this feeling well
not having friends is an especially cruel torture because it makes you miserable and that turns potential friends away, making you even miserabler
somehow we have to break that cycle ourselves and stop letting ourselves become miserable so we stop turning people away
so we need to find ways to make ourselves less miserable when we're on our own
a good counsellor can really help with this
and you're not alone, there are good people here :-)

I think you see that having friends of your own is important ..
i know for some it is hard to make friends but in reality just talking to someone is the start. making friends and effort to make your self approachable is a skill that needs to be practiced. maybe watch others you feel are good at it and see how they do it ... i find most people like to talk about themselves so asking questions or giving compliments are great ice breakers.
Your post says you have a baby are there any meet ups for moms and play time for babies....
I think it is important for you to have your own friends not just hang out or count your BF friends as your friends...
