I'm a mother of two and I have no friends..
My question is where do I find friends? Or how?
I'm young but I'm a mom and I'm not interested in going to parties and doing selfish things that most people my age are. My fiancé has a couple friends and goes out with them often and sometimes has them over. I'm so lost with myself because I'm always with myself. I'm starting to dislike myself and I really want to be a positive person and good role model for my children. Especially for my 5 year old daughter.
I could go on and on but not sure if it will help at all. Any advice would be great. Actually a friend would be great.
Thanks

Thanks so much. I felt great after I read what you had to say.
I really think that I need "alone time" without kids. My fiancé encourages it a lot but I just don't have any friends so it's hard for me when I want to go out. Sometimes I'll just leave and go shopping when he gets home but I end up window shopping (mainly because I don't have any extra money) and coming home feeling the same way I did when I left.
We're moving next week to a town that doesn't have a large population or much to do and I'm worried about how I'll feel out there. I'm looking for yoga classes and things that may give me some time by myself but at this point I'm going to have to find a part time job for the weekends for extra income and it will take up all my time without the kids.
Ahhh so much stress!
Thank you so much I know I will try to be a tiny bit "selfish" although it's super hard for me!

You're right and I should try harder I just feel a little nervous because I get a vibe sometimes that other mothers are looking at me like I'm too young to have two kids. I can feel it sometimes and it sucks so bad. I have my daughter when I was 17 so I feel like I'm judged a lot. It happens to me everywhere I go actually.
I'm a proud mother and I don't care what others think of me but I can't make friends when I feel this way.
