I feel like other moms are threatened by me

When my 4th child started football I had this 1 mum who gave me the evil eyes, I didn’t know her beforehand nor any other parent there. I was there to watch my son play footy not for any other reason, idk it was weird.

Girl just you typing away shows why other moms avoid you lol you’re condescending. You’re weird

Where someone lives/works has never been criteria for friendship to me. I gravitate towards people who have the same interests or kids in the same activities. It gives them something in common that we can talk about. I’m older now, kids are grown, and my friends are loosely based on interests. Some are knitters, some are from church, some are in genealogy groups. Do you have any interests? Do you speak to other people in general? I speak to most people that I’m around, cashiers, teachers, other shoppers. Say something nice ( compliment) and smile.

Soooo, she posts this and when I comment, she blocks me?! Why come on here acting like you’re 1000, and you’re a 30​:woman_facepalming:t3::exploding_head:

I noticed a lot of women as they have children and partners tend to just say stick with the friends they have already, especially those who didn’t just move to the area. If I were you I’d focus on finding friends that have common interests besides your kids or where you live. Also, I notice that depending on where you live there could be a culture where it takes people longer to open up.

The same women on here saying she is conceited or arrogant are the same ones who probably support feminism & say “women should uplift other women” but yet you are on here doing the exact opposite. You post photos for likes when you get your hair done & want everyone to compliment your new hairdo. You post photos of the things you buy like your house or home decor to brag about it. It could very well be possible that the other woman are jealous of her. Go ahead & admit that you have felt jealous of another woman before whether it was because her job was better than yours, her home was bigger than yours or her Husband was hotter than yours or made more money than yours. Everyone feels envious of someone in their life at some point for whatever the reason it may be. This woman sounds like a humble person who has a good heart. If she was just “arrogant” or “conceited” then she wouldn’t be trying to make friends with those other woman or care if they wanted to befriend her or not. She genuinely wants a friendship/connection with another Mom. There is nothing wrong with being confident.

I think it’s a real thing! You’re pretty and a lot of women tend to be threatened by that. Just be yourself, beautiful inside and out. Friends will come along and see you for you. And those will be the true friends. I don’t agree with many comments on this thread. You’re not arrogant at all in your post. It’s a valid question. I was there years ago. Just love yourself. Real friends will come along in time. It’s tough. Hugs

Lol , this is a Facebook post. I doubt shes going around telling all the Moms she meets shes “successful” and “pretty”. How else can she ask for advice without spilling her worries out loud? It feels like no one can be any personality anymore without being judged by someone. Lots of judgmental ppl here in the comments. OP I think you should start fresh, maybe its that you’re concern about how others are seeing you has started to make you feel socially inept…people can sense a lack of social confidence and unfortunately instead of them trying to make you feel welcome and help you come out of your shell… they may see you as unapproachable and/or guarded. Like… I have anxiety and a history of abuse…so in the past I was suuuuuper shy and …I waited for people to bring joy and happiness to me… but it didn’t happen and i began to realize i came across as guarded and i was putting up a wall. Also, people worry about themselves too… we’ve all worried about how others perceive us …even if we dont admit it)…maybe they sense your hesitation and it makes them feel awkward about themselves…instead of thinking to themselves…this girl is self conscious… they think … why is she tense around me? Is it me? What helps me is to look outward… outside of myself and see humanity. We are all in this together and struggling….especially being moms lol…so i meet another woman and think how can i be warm and inviting? How can i see her as a person just like me…try not to put yourself on a pedestal and also…dont put others on a pedestal…find common ground…put out what you want in return. How do u want other women to act towards you? Try acting that way towards them.

There also comes a time when a woman grows up and isn’t afraid or insecure because of another “pretty or successful “ woman. :roll_eyes: you have kids, a husband, a home, so I assume you’re not in HS. Don’t act like it. Be what you’ve described yourself as, good for you, but don’t wear a sandwich board sign about it.
Are you sure they’re jealous and just don’t like you because your attitude? You’re only as pretty as you treat people and how your act. Good luck :black_heart:

Just be yourself, be genuine, and be kind. The right ones will stay to form a tribe. The ones that don’t? They aren’t meant to be there whatever reasons they may be. Don’t assume, tho. It may be their insecurities or whatever… but we all have them. You also have insecurities of everyone not jumping up and down wanting to be your friend. People just naturally gravitate toward certain people or they don’t. I’d still be friendly and cordial like how a neighbor should be. Good luck!

Wow! There’s some nasty women on here. I don’t see anything wrong with this post. She’s allowed to have confidence in knowing she is good looking and successful. These things do make women catty. I’m not anything special but I exude confidence (it’s actually just an excess of nervous energy), and just that is enough for other mums to feel threatened and avoid. I’ve been told numerous times by women that they thought I was a bitch, until they got to know me.
This post isn’t condescending and she’s not rattling on about herself, she’s stating a genuine concern and is asking for help to seem warmer so she can make mum friends. Instead you guys are all being narky. Humans are shit :sleepy:

Myself, I just do my best to smile warmly at every person I walk past and say eye to anyone that makes eye contact. Kill them with kindness. Sometimes you receive sourness in return, but every so often you receive a warm smile and hi :wave: in return. Eventually someone will let them in and then you can show them the kind person behind the classy intimidating image :hugs:

Try being relatable, funny, approachable, and fun. Looks have nothing to do with my best friendships- I saw in people the same things I see in myself. If someone else is awkward, I think “hey I’m awkward!” so I think maybe we have other things in common too. I think we get along best with other people who are sort of like ourselves. Maybe the women don’t think they can relate to you, try being a little vulnerable and see where that gets you. Good luck!

It’s definitely possible. Just keep trying to make small talk, ect. I hope you meet some sweet mommas :heart:

Honestly this is just my opinion… I find friends that are like me. I post on social media a lot. But I shared the good and bad. My mother in law once told me that she didn’t know if she should post my sister in laws sports award she had won. Now she’s top class top sports and so is her brother. Mother In law has reason to be proud! So I didn’t understand until she said she didn’t want her friends to feel like she was bragging. Her kids are awesome kids. They really worked hard for the positions they have in high school. But I understood where she was coming from! Me personally, I don’t want to see someone who only post the happy stuff. I mean that in no jealous way. I want the raw stuff the stuff without the filter. I post the good and bad. I went through drug addiction, divorce and the loss of two children. I posted (within limits and class) about it tons of times. So many people have come to me to tell me how much my stories helped them get through similar situations and for me, it’s so worth telling “the world” the ugly too. We are human. Life isn’t always instagram ready. Life can be sad. It can be heart breaking, beautiful. It’s everything. So when I see people ONLY post about how their man spoils them and stuff like that you tend to not believe it. Like it’s fake. Like you know the couple fights 24/7 behind closed doors. And the fact of the matter is, no matter what you post we all judge. No one can say they don’t. I know in my generation that of moms (im 27) were allll about that messy bun mom life with some sweats. That’s real life. Im not saying you need to change who you are. At all. But you attract your tribe and if I’m strictly going off of how YOU discribed yourself and your imagine on social media I would right off break naturally judge you as a put together person, perfectionist maybe, definitely photo ready person. To some that’s everything! And to others you are not their cup of tea! That’s completely ok. Never change who YOU are. Those people are not your friends if they don’t accept you for who you are. If that’s the imagine you want to portray there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Anyone who doesn’t want you in their circle you shouldn’t want to be a part of! I know it’s easier said then to feel because being excluded freaking hurts. But don’t change you to fit into a group of moms! You’ll be judge no matter what

Omg only everyday of my life!! Pm me if you want. For obvious reasons I’m not comfortable sharing to much on such a public platform :roll_eyes::smirk:

The fact that you realized you were the common denominator in all of the local moms avoiding you (or your perception of that happening), but automatically assumed the problem had to be that they were intimidated by you, not that you could possibly have some issues you needed to work on/through, says something imo. And I don’t mean that in a rude way. Just give it some thought.

I believe quite literally everybody on this earth could benefit from therapy. You may want to give it a shot, discuss this issue, and discuss the kind of interactions you have with people. And again, I’m not saying this to be snarky, I’m recommending it genuinely. You may be surprised by what you learn about yourself during therapy, and by what changes could happen in your life as you’re able to better understand, and work on/through those things. A LOT of people struggle to connect with others for a multitude of reasons that they aren’t even aware of for years. It wouldn’t hurt to see if there’s anything unknown to you that is making it such a struggle to connect. :slight_smile:

Good luck! :heart:

Personally I don’t like school runs and I don’t like talking to random people and if your a working mum then it’s always harder to make friends because it’s the stay at home mums that have time to stop for an hour in the street to chat not feeling rushed to make small talk which in turn makes you look like you don’t want to to be there or that your uncomfortable, I wouldn’t make effort to include something that I didn’t vibe with , some classes have a WhatsApp group to keep up with current events in class if you ask the teacher they could point you to your class rep and they don’t really have a choice bit to help you get a foot in the door with other mums , if your talking neighbours most people only talk to the direct neighbour and most just to avoid conflict as community isn’t a thing like it used to be

Also, I have to say, I have always had good/positive interactions with my kid’s school/neighborhood friend’s parents over the years, too, but I never wanted to become actual friends with any of them. I have my own friends already. :woman_shrugging:t2: I assume they do too. And that’s good. I want to keep those relationships on the surface. The kids are friends, and we’re their parents who are friendly. That’s what I’m comfortable with. It would have been weird AF if my parents tried to be friends with my friend’s parents growing up, imo, I’m glad they had their own friends lol.

So it’s not personal, truly, I just wouldn’t have any interest in being friends if I were one of the moms of your kid’s friends in your neighborhood.

(I’m also from NY and have no problem stating my opinion or caring what anyone thinks).
When you put yourself out there, regardless how, you open up to be judged. The more you put yourself out and/or the bigger your presence becomes, the more judgmental as*holes you have to deal with. Do what you believe is right, own your truth and give the haters a NY salute.

YES. what you are experiencing is VERY VERY VERY REAL. And it starts young- think back
to your childhood.
Keep being positive, keep being you, don’t change for anyone. Always be kind, genuine, and open to making genuine friendships- but keep your gaurd up with new friends for a while-
take your time in getting to know these said women. DO NOT talk to their husbands first- or without them around if it can be helped. Always speak to the wives first-- in social settings. For an insecure women that can feel threatening - even if you’re just a nice person chatting about nothing, but the sky being blue.

Poke fun at yourself… be a little transparent and share any insecurities you may have -

Small to big… given how comfortable you feel with said woman.

Continue to try and encourage your children to make friends with or without these said women’s kids…

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. your people will find you soon and you’ll find your soul mate best friend… & they will love and be proud of your beauty & career!

Honestly by what you’ve said I wouldn’t come near you with a 10 foot pole but I don’t connect with other parents because I don’t want to. I feel no need to add the extra stress in my life of maintaining another relationship that isn’t a priority. I’m also a bitch so there’s that.

This has been happening to me all my life. My mom always said they’re jealous, I used to think she was crazy but it’s absolutely true. If you feel their energy is negative or jealous, just move on. You don’t need it in your life and you will connect with other like minded people when the time is right. I’m a doctor now, so as I’m sure you know, even more reason for them to be haters. Just focus on you and your family and if you’re meant to connect with someone, I think that you will. Also, self examine your own energy and see if there is negativity that needs to be removed. Remove limiting beliefs. Alot of times these situations call for self healing. People can feel energies. Keep your head up!!! :white_heart:

I’ve been a single mum basically my whole mothering life and yes it happens especially by partnered mums. And I don’t mean necessarily that it’s a jealousy thing or insecurity I think it’s more just They don’t want a 3rd wheel

There’s nothing wrong with feeling confident about yourself as long as you don’t flaunt it. Just try to be friendly with everyone. Once they get to know you, they will see you for you. Jealousy is a terrible thing in any kind of relationship. Even people on here seem jealous of you by making snarky comments and they don’t even know you. Hold your head up high. Just don’t give off bad impressions that you’re better than others. So many jealous women out there. The problem may be theirs. More women need to feel more confident about themselves and not judge without truly knowing you. Some posting on here may not like my opinion but sorry. If more women were confident and felt comfortable in there own skin they wouldn’t be worried about you. I have rich friends and poor friends, love them for who they are as a person.

Maybe invite the Moms and the kiddos over for a play date? Do some food/nibbles for outside. Let the kiddos play and then get to know these women abit more? Chances are they’re all feeling just as insecure about talking others Moms as you are… Be the ice breaker and just invite them all over to yours so the kids can play outside in the garden together and you can actually break the ice and talk with the other moms? :woman_shrugging:t2:

I probably wouldn’t ask direct questions of “why don’t you like me”, “are you threatened by me” “is it because I’m ‘pretty’ that you don’t like me” “do you think I’m going to try and steal your fella” kinda confrontational questions though… :see_no_evil: Stick to getting to know them and them you in a positive approach… :wink:

Sometimes in life being good looking as it’s, downfalls… Think about it? why would a women invite eye candy for there husbands to look at… Not happing is it… if your as good looking as you say you probably had the pick of the bunch and probably never needed to have friendships with taken men
But a threat is a threat… No bird invites a threat to its nest… Just smile and when your out and about and all those men are opening doors, offering you a coat, treating you nice…just think thats better than a bunch of gossiping mums.

I agree with the majority of the comments in saying maybe the mom is busy and it’s not an excuse.
But another perspective:
Maybe the kids don’t get along as well as you think and her kids don’t like playing with yours?
I have a niece who would go on play dates with her mom and her “friend”, well the mom was the kind on play dates her daughter could do no wrong. But reality her daughter was bullying my niece and she told her mom she didn’t like the little girl anymore.
Well my sister wound up bringing her concerns up to the mom and the mom never did anything to correct it because she never saw it, because again her daughter does no wrong. So my sister stopped making play dates with that mom and the other mom still has “no idea why.”

You shouldn’t have to force any type of relationship. It’s harder to make and maintain friendships nowadays. Maybe ask yourself why it is so important to you to connect with these people when they’ve given you an indication that they don’t wish to do so. I’ve found that keeping your circle small promotes a more peaceful life.
