Whats wrong with me?

[twinkleshines]

Hi,
I dont really know whats wrong with me, Im not sure if i am gonna word this right either but anyway here goes.
I worry so much about friends, I do have friends, but i also love meeting new ppl. I dont have any one particular best friend, i never have. But my problem is i worry so much about ppl liking me that i feel i am not liked if that makes sense, or not disliked just not liked enough to be included. It seems to be getting worse the older i get. I always seem to feel left out. For instance my daughter started at school last september and i thought it would be a great opportunity to get to know other mums and make good friends. I talk to them all but it seems thats it, they all seem to be round each others houses ringing each other and stuff and becoming really good friends, how come im not? How did they get to be good friends what did i do wrong or not do? Its begining to really bother me now. Does anyone else feel this way?
Im not even sure if i posted this in the right place, maybe it should have gone on mental health.
Any way any advise would be greatfully recieved.
thank you

WHy dont you invite a few over for lunch while the children play.
I used to have a gathering (when my health was better) about once a month at my house. We used to play pictionary. I would invite enough women to have at least 3 - 4 on each team. Finger foods would be served and we called it womens night out. It was fun and they loved it. I was not working at the time, they were so it gave them something to look forward to. Im not the type that needs best friends, just friends. When Christmas would come around we'd also have cookie exchange night after our game. We also played bunko for about a year. Then my health got worse and i couldnt entertain anymore. I always LOVEd entertaining. I still get calls from the women checking up on me and invite me to lunch every so often. They know i dont go out much anymore tho, so once in a while someone will bake a casserole and bring it to me and we visit for a while. Don't give up. Open your house up if you have the time, i did at that time, and see if they come. You will develop friendships that last a lifetime. Just be yourself, dont try to put on airs for anyone. They either like you or they dont. The worst thing to do, is to pretend youre something else to have someone like you. Maybe they just need an incentive to get to know you. Invite them for coffee or dessert on a friday before you pick the kids up from school. There is nothing wrong with you.

Pray and ask the Lord to send you a friend. He will. Also try to BE a friend rather than to HAVE a friend. This will help you. Barb
