None * I wish nine lol

Take your kid to the park and chat with the other parents. Go places where kids are in your town and just start talking to people. We have a childrens museum close by. Usually at the park when the kids start playing with each other i start talking to the other kids parent.

I want to so bad, how do you do it? I'm so terrible at that. We're involved at our church and any time someone approaches me I have no clue what to say so I laugh and look down and feel dumb. I wish I could talk to other moms just as easy as my husband or mother.. But I'm clueless. One girl who's son is my sins age told me at church that get son talks about mine all the time (they play in the kids room together) she was trying to small talk but all I said was "haha, aww" and looked down. Now she probably thinks I'm weird.

Anyone else have social anxiety?
Where does it come from and how do you get over it?

I just want close female friends with kids, at least two
My social interaction includes my toddler, my husband, and my dysfunctional mom.
I need female time,
I have two friends, but they don't have kids, I live a family life they live a young life, I need friends I can relate to..

:/

I have anxiety too. I get very shy around new people but you just have to push through it. Just say hi im so and so. If the kids are playing together I usually ask about their kids. Names ages do they live in the area. Just kinda go from there. If they kids get along good and the small chit chat wasnt to bad then maybe set up a time to meet at the park or something. Exchange numbers and go from there.
