People just don’t seem genuine

I am having a hard time because I can expect friends with kids to have busy schedules, but to never have time ever? Just to shoot a text hey I’m thinking about you or haven’t heard from you are you okay? Then you go to work and don’t click with people you spend 40+ hours with. It’s just irritating that nothing is genuine or really authentic. It’s just because you are in their face for the moment then when you leave you don’t exist. I feel like I’m meant for a different time period or maybe I’m just supposed to be alone in the friendship area

@ladybug0806 would you believe that I've just had a long chat with a listener about this exact feeling. It really pushes my buttons with social anxiety and low self esteem. I know logically that I'm overthinking things and people are busy but after losing my mum six weeks ago I feel so alone and it is not helping that people will make plans with me and then bail at the last minute.

Exactly I am tired of only be available when it’s convenient. I am lonely want a friend just to talk about daily things. Bounce things off of. Talk about girl stuff, stuff you can’t talk about with my husband. It’s just very frustrating and messes with your mind.
