1:01 I have a small social battery life. I can only do so much and then I feel like I’m letting new friends down.4:19 I don’t know how to start a conversation.6:05 How do you start? Where do you find friends and how do you initiate a friendship?8:05 What if I’m not ‘outgoing’ or am too shy to make the first move.9:21 I struggle with keeping friends. I’m the worst at staying in touch.11:08 How do I connect with someone who has different hobbies than me?13:50 My struggle is, they already have friends. Or they have different parenting styles. Our kids aren’t the same age. I honestly just want a best mom friend to come over & hang out, run errands with, go on fun play dates, but feel like others don’t want that. OR they already have a friend they are like that with.16:33 How do I find someone who is willing and wants to put in mutual effort?17:42 How do I find someone who is in a similar life status?18:56 What if our husbands don’t get along?19:51 I am shy at first. I have trouble getting out of my shell unless someone drags it out.25:32 Getting to know anything about another person when you are constantly distracted by your kids’ needs – hungry, thirsty, don’t want to share, crying, etc. Hanging out with friends feels so much more exhausting now because you have to manage your kids and their interactions with your friends kids, and struggling to engage in a conversation what seems to trigger your kids want for more attention.2:15 My biggest struggle is I get too anxious... 1) Because when talking to adults after just being with little kids, I feel like I am always saying the wrong thing or unable to hold relevant conversations. 2) my 3 year old has some hyperactivity/attention issues. It causes him be overwhelmed and, as sweet as he is, he quickly becomes the "wild" kid and I am the only mom constantly redirecting my child. It's not his fault-- he is doing his best but it makes me feel self conscious about what other moms are thinking.32:50 Finding someone with kids close in age, hard to have friends that aren’t multipurpose. Ie. Family friends.27:21 Finding friends that don’t judge my beliefs or convictions.31:30 Not wanting to bother other people!
