I feel like other moms are threatened by me

Have any Moms here ever experienced being “shunned/avoided” by other Moms for jealousy/insecurity reasons? My Husband thinks I’m being silly, but I cannot think of why other local Moms seem to purposely NOT want to connect. My kids are very friendly, well-behaved, same ages as the other kids in the neighborhood, yet I find these Moms always keeping their distance. I have tried thinking of reasons why this is happening, because all of our interactions with these other families are always positive and friendly. I’m starting to think it is ME! I am pretty and have a rewarding career, but I do not flaunt my lifestyle in any way, I live in a very modest house and my Social Media is very reserved/only posting appropriate, positive content… I have had issues with other females being threatened by me before, and I honestly feel that may be what is going on here. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you get these women to ease up a bit and make them realize you’re not out to ‘steal their husbands’ or ‘compete with them’

Maybe they just haven’t had the time or opportunity to get to know you! Stop worrying about what other people think and be yourself and the friends that you find and stick with will most likely be the ones who are worth it! Also I personally find that women who think that others are jealous of them tend to walk around with their nose in the air a bit. Try and soften that and you may be more approachable.

I would also suggest speaking to other women go up and compliment them! Just pick one thing you genuinely like. Next time they will probably remember you in a good light. First impressions matter. Plus we constantly hear all the negative stuff we do wrong! It’s nice to hear a compliment once in a while.

Eh, being pretty, having a great career and a perfect social media isn’t what I look for in a mom friend. I want mom friend’s that have messy hair, eat mozzarella sticks in sweats and say swear words. They probably feel judged by you and this perfect image you portray.

I feel judged by other moms too. Like at school functions and stuff. I don’t think it has to do with me being good looking or not. I feel like the judge because of my tattoos and maybe my style. I’m still a good mom and love my kids as much as they love theirs. But I always feel the stares and stuff. But maybe it’s just me.
But still my advice is always be polite regardless and be yourself and eventually if that person is meant to be your friend they will like you for who you are.

I mean if they are only keeping their distance but previous interactions have been positive/friendly then maybe they’re just busy? Or maybe they could just be slow to warm up? Also, some people may have had bad experiences in the past with making friends, so they could just be on the cautious side. They also just could be more introverted and like to be by themselves frequently. There’s so many reasons why honestly. It really may not be personal.

I used to have a few mom friends until I realized it was high school drama all over again. There were a couple I’ll talked to here and there but they gossip so much I know I’m talked about too. There’s 2 in particular that I absolutely love. Like they are amazing role models to their children and they do everything without a man. But they are so busy they just don’t have time to do much.

Who cares!? Fuck em.

I personally don’t know anyone who’s jealous of someone because of their looks. Besides, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Just because you think you’re pretty doesn’t mean everyone else in the world does. Maybe look inside yourself. Are you acting like you’re better looking and more successful than the other women are? That alone, will push people the wrong way. If you aren’t acting better than thou then you don’t need them as friends and are better off without them.

Stop showering and rub mud all over yourself like Arnold did in Predator, that should make them feel more comfortable around you, if your smarter than them then practice whats known as “intellectual hobbling”, or you could try loosening up and being warm and genuine

Honestly you come off suuuuper snobby. I would probably write you off as shallow and not give you the time of day either. I’m not TRYING to be mean on purpose. You’re trying to figure out what it is, and this is my personal first impression of you. You may not be that way at all, in which case you should evaluate how you present yourself and words because something is coming across wrong. You don’t have to change your personality. Just soften how you present yourself. Show don’t tell y’know?

“I’m pretty and have a rewarding career”
Or
“I’m not out to get their husbands”…
might be the kind of thoughts they ~know~ you have regarding your own overconfidence/conceited demeanor. They may not feel intimidated by you. But they might see that you ~feel~ you should be intimidating… & that’s not what people look for in friends or people to just be around in general. :woman_shrugging:t2:
I think you’re unknowingly giving off snobby vibes.

At the end of the day they don’t matter-being lonely sucks but it’s better than filling a void with false love and respect. :heart:

I’m pretty sure it is you, however if you were as balanced as you claim to be you’d just relax and women of the same standard/stature would be available for friendships.

I avoid throwing the word jealous around. Someone doesn’t have to envy you to simply dislike you. These women might just find you disagreeable. I hope your kids are able to socialize though. That part is sad.

I’m trying to think of a way of putting this.

I don’t care what anybody looks like. I am happy as long as it’s a decent conversation and we can have a laugh. I get on with most people.
I don’t think I would like you. You seem extremely self righteous. This post screams volumes about why they don’t want to be your friend

What do you have to offer them as a friend? Humor laughter moral support? Also write what you printed and put someone else’s name to it and reread it with their name and see what you wrote from their prospective and see how it comes across to you.

This post alone comes across as having a bad attitude. Very conceded & self centered. Potentially without even realizing it because you’re too wrapped up in yourself… That’s probably why the others “turn away” so to speak. The vibes one gives off, says a lot to others.

Posting anonymously says it all…

Could be they just don’t want to branch outside of their circle. I am a VERY introverted person. I have no friends, I don’t hang out with other moms. The only times I ever tried to make friends with other moms, is so my kids would have other kids to play with. I’m awkward and anxious. I find it difficult to interact with others. It could be something as simple as that. My next door neighbor used to think I hated her, just because I always stuck to myself and never made plans with her.

I think a part of the problem might be
-1 I am pretty with a rewarding career
2- I’ve had problems with females being threatened by my before
3- how to get them to ease up/realise I’m not out to steal their husbands or compete with them…

Your attitude SUCKS! I wouldn’t want to hang around you either you are litterAlly looking down your nose at the people around you like they should feel honoured you want to be friends with them :laughing::laughing::laughing:

i actually think it’s fine to know you’re pretty. and she did write this in a private way.
i teach my girls to thank the Lord for their beauty because it can be taken at anytime and real beauty comes from inside BUT it is fine to know you are pretty. she didn’t say she thought she was prettier then anyone else. i actually don’t think she said anything wrong. it’s sad she has to feel like she has to dial down her success and confidence to make other people feel comfortable but it is the truth.
my advice to her is to find friends who are confident in themselves and in their marriage. find friends who feel pretty and are humble about it. keep being you and don’t think to much about it❤️ everyone has their own insecurities and you should have friends that build you up and cheer you on. pray about it and be patient. don’t talk crap about people and be humble. youre beautiful and don’t ever be sorry for it , keep being you, youll find your friends

Most women are intimidated by secure, confident women. I mean, look at some of these comments lol just b/c u said that u are “pretty” & have a “rewarding career” that apparently makes u “snobby” “stuck up” & “shallow” rather than “honest” “real” & “sure of yourself”. I guess if u want to make friends, better start calling yourself “ugly” & say that ur job sucks :woman_shrugging: But another thing is SAHM tend to stick with other SAHM, it’s like they’re a cult :joy: I’m half joking don’t lynch me :sweat_smile: But try to find other moms who vibe how u vibe, or just start lowering ur standards lol :joy: There’s nothing wrong with loving yourself, be your own friend :sparkles::black_heart:

Your energy speaks so loud that it’s hard to hear anything else. Maybe you thinking that your someone above these ppl, and that they should be feeling threatened…:thinking: if that’s what you think maybe that’s your vibe. If that’s the case, it’s unappealing and undesirable to make friends or have you in around….it’s kinda of embarrassing honestly….your not probably threatening or the object of jealousy, it’s probably just that you vibe on a completely different frequency.

Funny cause I’m pretty and have a good job yet make friends just fine. you sound really into your head on how amazing you think you are. (maybe you are too) I’m getting some pick me vibes and that tiktok sound “am I better than everyone else”? :joy: chill and dont be too strong at first. also not everyone needs to be your friend. I’ve wanted mom friends then realized our personalities don’t click. Maybe it’s as simple as that too. It’s okay to be confident but seriously don’t read into shit like that. I have no idea if you’re genuine or fake so I’m just surprised at this post in general :rofl: good luck to ya. people don’t want to do things on their own so genuinely I hope you find that perfect person that you click with and can be yourself. I kinda like you but not for sure yet. The confidence cracks me up. :pinched_fingers:t3::cold_face::laughing: you sound like someone I’d grab coffee with

Ik I (and I’m sure tons of other ppl) sense others’ energies n just reading this had me rolling my eyes. If your husband (who I’d imagine knows u better than the majority of ppl on this planet) is tellin u that they aren’t “intimidated by u” n ur a lil off on this one… maybe realize even HE is trying to tell u that ur bleh without using the word bleh probably out of fear/avoidance of having to deal with ur response. Ya know the whole if problems repeatedly continue to happen to u in dif situations and with dif ppl and in dif places… mayyyyybe “the problem” is u.
I can bet that if you climbed off ur high horse n changed up ur “pretty” face n ur “rewarding”vibe n ur “non competitive” lingo a little bit you’d be more approachable.

I don’t normally comment on these posts because surely this has to be a wind-up. However, this struck a chord with me. Call me crazy but I have NEVER selected any of my friends based on their looks, their house, their job, their social media content or the chance of them not chasing my partner. However, I do select my friends based on how they make me feel. So to answer your question, how are you making these women feel? Are you making them feel accepted? Welcome? Able to approach you as themselves? Or are you making them feel guarded, wary, unsure and judged? I’d put money on the second option. My suggestion would be to check the vibes you are sending out before assuming they’re terrified you’re going to steal their husbands

Most of the women commenting on your post are like your local moms. If you are reading this, enjoy your life, make new friends and care zero about who thinks what. Confidence takes years to build, don’t let insecure people rob you of it. Let the haters in your neighborhood and …cough cough….in the comments here, do their thing. Why would you wanna be friends with them? Sending :heart:

You sound very into yourself and if these females are anything like us non snobby ones then they can feel the self conceded ways you throw out. Maybe quit thinking you’re prettier or better and maybe you will find friends. Just the fact u had to put out there u think they’re jealous and then say you’re pretty that in itself made me not like u.

ma’am don’t listen to these comments it’s nothing wrong with wondering why you don’t have any friends. understand that some of us are a riddle & not meant for everybody. in the meantime keep doing you, being you & the people that’s meant to be in your life will flock to you.

Been there. Its because you’re hot and prob they husbands been looking and or they’re insecure. Im a very very respectful woman. I wont even barely talk yo to another womans man/hubby- because of this . No matter how reserved i am, there’s alwayssssss catty ness/jealousy . Im very humble, reserved, a social worker, i dont seek attention… but its given no matter how hard I try to hide from it. Honesty hate it… same thing happens to me. As shit weird as it sounds, i purposely dress down/no make up etc… then other women be more chill.

Maybe you should go up and ask them. They could just be a close knit group of friends. Why would you assume it’s because of that. Assuming doesn’t make you any better than them.

Seriously. You seem a little judgey yourself. Not everyone is going to like you. Maybe find a group of friends a little more your speed … Pretty and with rewarding careers.

Wait, it’s perfectly fine to be confident but confidence shouldn’t come across snobby-like. That’s what your post is representing. Someone made the comment that this thread is sounding like the local women that you’re referring to. I don’t think that’s it at all. I think some of the things you said towards the end of your post is what’s rubbing people the wrong way. But in the same breath, we should be encouraging women with confidence, not tearing them down because they are. Maybe I just contradicted myself lol. Oh well. I guess my point is, if you come across snobby even if it’s unintentional, people will have an issue with that and rightfully so.

Why not just ask them? Say, “I’m feeling a little left out of the group. Can you clue me in on anything I’m saying or doing that might be off-putting?” Then listen. Pick a more extroverted and blunt mom who is more likely to tell you the unvarnished truth.

When you’re 20 you care what others think. When you’re 40 you no longer care what people think. When you’re 60 you realize no one’s been thinking about you at all all along. :smile:
