I don’t have many friends, I could probably count them on one hand - and half of them are related to me. I just don’t make friends easily, or at least I don’t make good friends easily. I have plenty of great acquaintances, the girls I see at hockey, other moms I might smile at while waiting to pick up Isabella from school. I haven’t really spent time with any of them outside of those situations. When I see Bells though, she can make a friend in minutes. Upon arriving to school every day we head straight to the playground and immediately she has a mob of kindergartners following her around, hugging her, calling her name. She’s amazing, playing with everyone, kids from all walks of life, not a care in the world if they’re wealthy, well dressed, what nationality they are, or their gender. She openly accepts everyone and has become quite the “popular” kid.
When did I lose that? When did it become a near anxiety attack to walk up to another parent and simply introduce myself? Is that something you can get back?
