Oh dear.
Id avoid you
You are awfully sure of yourself.
Tell me you’re a one-upper mom without telling me you’re a one-upper mom
Do you happen to have ADHD? This is a common symptom in women with adhd. Not being able to read situations and feeling like everyone hates you or avoids you.
Maybe it’s your modesty…
It’s an amazing thing you are very sure of yourself, but try not to think about what others think , there’s always gonna be something , always be humble and if they don’t like you so be it lol
I’ve had this happen BUT I also have a mean resting bitch face lol women who I’m friends with now were like that to me in the beginning and after they got to know me they were like ‘Omg you’re so nice when I first met you just looked intimidating’. Maybe you have that resting bitch face problem like I do -did. Work in progress
Maybe they just aren’t meant to be your tribe. Not everyone is meant to be great friends. I think you have to be somewhat like minded to really make that connection as friends. As for the jealousy thing, it can be very real, on so many levels, for so many reasons. If you get that feeling, these ladies probably aren’t meant to be your close friends. Keep it moving and just be yourself. The people who are meant to be in your life will gravitate to you.
I knew someone who thought she was a chill, down to earth mom/person, who could make friends with anyone. In reality she was extremely inappropriate in what she talked about to total strangers, she came off as stuck up all the time, and she was suuuuuper judgy to people she didn’t like. So nobody wanted to be friends with her and she never understood why. I’m not saying it IS you….honestly most of us are super busy and don’t have tons of time to maintain new friendships. But just bc you think you are one way, doesn’t mean others don’t perceive you differently. And they aren’t threatened, they just don’t like you.
Ur way too sure of yourself I’d definitely avoid u too
I don’t think you are stuck up. You were just describing your problem…and yes …women are competitive and Probably they feel threatened a little bit. It has happened to me at school and at my new neighborhood but after awhile some of the moms warmed up to me and some decided to hate me without giving me a chance…the reason is the same…the moms that kept their distance are very judgy… I mean…there are a lot of type of moms …none of us are perfect, and each of us have our own style…there’s nothing wrong with knowing who you are. Have patience and eventually you will find the right people for you.
Wow! Lots of mean girls here!
Having moved to a small town as an adult I found most people had their friends from childhood and nobody was looking for new friends, however I was! I think most people are just doing their thing. Sounds like you’re trying to actively make new friends. My suggestion is to do a little bit more. Start the convo! Initiate a friendship. I invite people over nonstop and have a ton of awesome friends in this small town now! I found it you frequent the same places you’ll run into the same people. My favorite story, I asked a friend of mine how we had become friends (as I had forgotten) she laughed and said we were in line for coffee and started chatting then you said I’m new here and looking for friends, could I get your number? Good luck! Just try to remember we all aren’t as good at reading other people as we think. I for one have had MANY of my friends think I was a snob before they got to know me, they laugh now as that is the furthest thing from the truth.
Your life seems like you work very hard to present yourself properly. Some people don’t care for that, they just want to exist without needing to be refined. I think most parents feel vulnerable to scrutiny and just want someone to commiserate with.
I have been exactly through this. And I’m sorry you came on here to ask about your problem and these women are being very mean and judgemental. In my situation I just cut them off. If they are so scared of their own insecurities then you don’t want to be their friend anyways. You will find those 1 or 2 good hearted people who love you for you!!
I have been threaten like this my entire life and honestly I have no idea why I’m honestly perplexed by the whole thing it sucks and the only few friends I have made I still don’t really feel close to they were like short term then got busy and stop talking to me and went back to their group of mom friends never understood why people soooo many people hate you just for having a pretty face instantly people hate you ps I’m the nicest person even when I feel like maybe piping up I’m quite because I don’t want to be hated but it still works that’s way just me and my babies I have one friend I’ve had since grade school we talk here and their but that’s about it just me and my kids mostly the last ten years shoot we don’t even have family really people aren’t the same anymore and they are just mean I honestly feel like we are headed for Ezekiel 38/39 that’s how crazy and just evil the wolf has become pray and hold on
You just seem self inflated. Maybe, it is you. NOT your career, looks , home , fb hubby, perfect kiddos.
You just may come off as completely higher than. I wouldn’t wanna hang either.
I know women that are prettier than me and have a better career than I do and my first thought is never “she’s gonna take my husband” if the conversation flows and she can be down to earth and admit kids are ass holes then hey we are good lol som times the problem with pretty people and well off people is that their nose is in the air…maybe relax a little
Sounds to me that you might be full of yourself and the others are just picking that vibe up. Cuz thats the vibe im getting just from this post.
Simple. Don’t. If they are showing you who they are now, how they act. You doged a bullet.
So I guess women are expected to always think they are ugly? If someone actually has confidence, they are automatically snotty? Wtf? I’m no 10, or even a 5, but I try to not put myself down and I wish I had the confidence to say “I’m pretty.” But it seems that isn’t acceptable. Girl, I’ll be you’re friend. We can make margaritas with all this extra salt.
I feel like other moms thought i weird/odd in my case. Ive been diagnosed with bipolar disorder/cptsd since. My point is it could be your mind telling you this.
I used to feel like this. Turns out it was me who didn’t connect with them.
Just your post alone makes me want to avoid you. You’re clearly conceited. No one’s jealous of you
Honestly, being nice changed my life I was always wondering why I didn’t click with alot of people when I was younger. I’m pretty cool, OK?! but I also came with STRONG opinions (jeez I was an idiot, tbh ) and a short fuse. I’m very nice nowadays but God I used to be so mean and I didn’t even notice or care. Had to do some really hard self evaluation. You just have to accept its a you problem and figure out what people aren’t loving about you. It’s also fine to not be everyone’s cup of tea lol I was just mean from a hard life and didn’t notice
After getting hurt I quit trying. I don’t have the mental or emotional resilience to deal with it again. I won’t compete with a heifer and put on a show if I need to “keep up” with your perfect picture I’m out.
I would say they are picking up on your conceited vibe. I’ve got friends from all backgrounds and being pretty and having whatever career was not part of the equation. They obviously are picking up that you seem like you are better than others. So if you are so pretty are you saying all these other moms are not etc.
Wow she is full of herself I wouldn’t want to be her friend either, like get over yourself lol
Maybe they sense how self absorbed you are
These are NOT the type women you wanna be friends with.
This post says it all.
It’s you. Your personality sucks.
Try the mom look . Ya know. A Messy bun, hoodie w a stain, leggings and a cup of coffee .
It’s obviously you. The first fact you want to assume they they feel insecure already and that they are worried you would want to steal their husbands is a joke. And to compete with them? Who thinks like that? Your the only one it looks like who is thinking these thoughts because no most women I’m sure don’t look at you and think hmm I bet she just wants my man or hmm I bet she thinks she’s better then me but I’m really better then her. No this is not normal behavior.
There’s a 100% chance they aren’t intimidated by you at all and they just refuse to add anyone else to their lives that they have to fake it for.
I think when you’re saying you’re pretty ect it comes off conceited but you’re just trying to express that there is no negative obvious about your appearance. But you’ve only explained your life style. Nothing about who you are or what you like to do ect. Friendship is not about image. Relax, be you, and if there’s further steps you’d like to take with engagement make them. See where it goes. They might just see you as “uptight” because in your mind you’re always over processing their thought of you.
It is you.
Other moms likely are either afraid or jealous of you and your ways. Maybe even intimidated. Maybe you have a strong personality.
Fine a mom like you and stick with her. You don’t need those who would avoid you because of their own insecurities.
You’ll see from afar how they probably wouldn’t have been dependable, solid people in your life anyway.
I totally understand you and I get your point here. All good looking females experience such issues from the same gender.
Honey, if you are really sincere and want some real friends, just find an older woman that is blunt and wise
Have a chat with her. She will tell you exactly why the other moms are avoiding you and you can take it to the bank .
Then if it matters to you make some changes if it doesn’t that is fine too .
In the end YOU need to be happy with who you are on the inside .
Women here are being very very mean.
Maybe they aren’t afraid of you stealing their husbands but their husbands going after u Instead? Could be avoiding you cuz they feel they can’t complete (even if ur not trying to compete they may feel like they don’t hold a candle by u and feel insecure around you) but I doubt its ALL of them. I mean this in the nicest possible way but are u sure it’s not something ur doing or saying without realizing it? Or maybe ur kids aren’t as sweet as they are around u? I had to start thinking about this this passed year cuz my daughter kept coming home telling me she has no friends n ppl are always mean to her. I got pissed at first. Cuz I don’t want my baby bullied. But wen asking her questions about it I had to think this way 'is it possible she’s trying to ‘act cool’ and by doing that she’s coming off mean or snotty?" She’s never ever been a bully before but I have noticed small things here n there that she does that might make kids avoid her or not like her. Sucks thinking this about ur own child but I can’t go in guns blazing without being prepared for either possibility. Have u asked these women? What if u set up a neighborhood bbq n have em all over to give u all chances to connect
You seem a bit conceited… that is probably why other moms don’t care to be around you. After reading your post, I wouldn’t care to make mom friends with you either. You’re just not my cup of tea.
Well on top of the list of other red flags that these lovely folks have pointed out, you call other women “females” so that right there says all I need to know.
Your problem is in the mirror. For those saying it is mean, possibly. But the fact it isn’t just one or two moms in her neighborhood but all of them, says it isn’t them. Her own words make her sound quite full of herself and narcissistic. She needs to take a look at the woman in the mirror and decide if it is someone she even likes.
You don’t need them.
Common denominator.
I’ll leave it at that.
Because of this. Whether you believe it or not, you likely exude arrogance. Normal people don’t just suspect others have any reason to be intimidated by them unless they’re showing something off.
Have you thought maybe they have anxiety? They have insecurities (NOT based on you)? There could be many things that have nothing to do with you as to why they don’t want to try making friends.
Maybe you’re just annoying to them …
If you can’t find any local friends I’ll be your friend. Because obviously from the comments section you having confidence yourself that Lizzo didn’t provide and a good life and acknowledging it is a problem. From my experience, people can be so fake about being supportive and big on toxic positivity, and expect people to feel sorry for themselves. I’m sorry you’re experiencing it.
Lady that’s the last thing you need to worry about…. And is good that they don’t want to be near you, you have a husband and that’s the one you need to make sure he is doing “okay” in the neighborhood.
Less people, less drama. Worry about what’s inside your house, not the outside.
I don’t think it’s them.
Find friends outside of parent subgroup. Volunteer at school functions… getting to know people in a small group is difficult- especially if you moved into the community.
It’s probably the arrogance. Yeesh.
You’re conceited, so that’s why. You think you’re pretty and that your kids are angels and all of that. People like to connect with other moms that can let their guard down, and admit when they’re having a bad day, whether it is on social media, in person, etc. We want real. The fact that you think that they believe you’d steal their husband shows how much you think you’re everyone’s cup of tea, instead of focusing on what you may be saying to them that doesn’t jive with them.
Usually the people that think they are pretty and successful are… not. So, honestly, that’s probably not the reason people don’t like you, but likely your attitude towards them. If you’re consistently arrogant, sure they’ll be nice to you in passing, but they won’t want to invite you over or do “mom dates”. It’s draining dealing with people who always want to talk about themselves.
Girl, don’t listen to small minded folks! There are women out there who simply won’t be your friend because they think you’re too pretty or too successful, I see it everyday. That’s not my case, but I do see it. I tend to prefer a smaller circle anyway, folks today seem to just thrive off of drama. Focus on your husband and children, the rest will fall into place. Don’t seek validation from others, you’ll only drain yourself.
Lol!!! Not everyone is going to like you in this world and by this post, I can see why!
It’s true there’s a lot of jealous women out here
I just want to know why it matters that the other moms like you ?
If they don’t know you… they don’t know about your career nor your finances. They wouldn’t know if you’re successful or not. Tons a beautiful moms have friends lol. It’s how you are presenting and representing yourself. I’m not being rude but you’re full of yourself. It probably shows. It’s okay to be confident but not arrogant.
Holy heck!! You’re pretty arrogant and conceited.
I’m sorry to say but ur post screams that you have SUPERIORITY COMPLEX
Aren’t we supposed to be kind humans. Y’all come on. It is true some people don’t engage with the seemingly you have it all people. Most people seek others like them. So if they are having problems in marriage they find others that are etc. It will come. Volunteer places. Try to meet others in small groups.
Are you new to the area? Do your kids have friends here? Maybe it’s a very cliquish neighborhood? I do know an area like that, if you weren’t born an bred there, they have no use for you
I’m surprised at all the people calling you arrogant to be honest. But I guess not everyone has to deal with stuff like this so they don’t know.
There is a fine line between arrogance and confidence. Unless someone has literally told you something about your looks or your career… I wouldn’t go around thinking they are jealous in any respect. I’ve intentionally stayed away from ladies who give off vibes that don’t jive with my own. I’m not saying anything is wrong with you, you’d need to seek professional help for that. But… it says alot if you’ve literally exhausted all your options for interaction and the ONLY thing you can assume is that they are jealous. I would agree with one of the comments from up above also, women are so tightly formed sometimes in their clicks or groups and already have so much going on in their lives its exhausting to take in more people to “get to know”. I personally keep my close friendship circles small, small talk is nonsensical.
Just know that the JEALOUS women are prob being jealous with others too. In the grand sceme they look very unattractive. Their SOUL/ATTITUDE is def not attractive. I chose to embrace my kids i didnt really have friends either
It doesn’t seem like a jealousy issue… maybe a personality issue though.
There are plenty of smoking hot moms with rewarding careers in several of my circles and they have no issues.
This happens to me and my son almost every time we go to the park and it sucks. I’m a SAHM so I get super lonely and always looking for friends for my kid or myself. It’s like impossible
Okay, so let me get this straight, women are supposed to support women, but confident women get bashed for being confidant? My lord, what the heck is wrong with you people? She is allowed to admit that she thinks she is pretty- without people bashing her for it. Y’all sound insecure and self conscious as hell, with that small minded, projection crap. Just because you have a hard time find yourself attractive, doesn’t mean every woman is built that way. But then again, women run from confident women because they feel small inside. So, it is no surprise to me.
I hate to say it but women can be catty sometimes, comments section case in point…
I don’t have a lot of women friends, but I’m social and I have Mom friends who are like me, we usually meet because of our kids and their activities. I would reach out to other like-minded Moms.
the fact you go straight to everyone is jealous is probably your problem I dont know u never meet you but I can tell just by this post you wouldn’t be my type of person lol
Some personalities just don’t vibe together. Just focus on you and your children and you’ll find your tribe. You can’t force people to like you and by the way you described these women I wouldn’t push a friendship. Friendships should come naturally not forced, you dont want to be the mom who is only “friends” with these women because you wore them down.
Moms don’t talk to me because of my rbf but I choose not to speak to them either because I see/hear how they talk about each other as soon as one walks away. Make real friendships with people who want to be around you and have you in their life. Most mom friends from the neighborhood are fake af and only want to be in your business or treat it like a popularity contest.
Oh brother! Someone is conceited because they recognize that they are attractive? It’s called self-assurance! But I fear you have your answer right in these comments. Some insecure and petty people (not just women) are put off by self-confidence due to their own insecurities. Ignore them and keep doing you. Your tribe will find you.
So, MULTIPLE, women avoid you? And you think it’s because of your vast beauty and your wonderful career no sis they avoid you because your statement alone screams, I think I’m better than other women and they aren’t putting up with your bullcrap. I cannot believe the entire neighborhood would dislike you over being ever so perfect lol. People are dillusional. You don’t even seek a real answer from this. Because if those women hate on you for no reason as you stated however could anyone make that right. This screams attention seeker with a superiority complex that’s quite literally full of themselves.
I think the problem is your assuming it’s because your pretty and your career how do you know your kids are good kids? I had a mom completely ignorant to the fact her child was tormenting mine until i told her . She took thought her kids were “ well behaved and friendly “ or maybe because you come off stuck up i wanna be friends with the mom who’s real not just posting postive stuff because life’s not always postive lol not everyone is jealous of you, if everyone has an issue with you chances are YOU ARE THE PROBLEM, not them
Listen confidence is Great! But so is humility. There was not 1 thing in that post that you could have possibly done wrong. That part of your attitude is probably why you don’t have any friends in the neighborhood. Maybe you have RBF. Maybe you’ve mentioned to someone that you feel you could take these ladies husbands. I love some confidence, but without humility, it is arrogance.
Wow you sound like joy to be around probably the fact you make it all about you.
I think your hubby is right - you’re just being silly! You have no idea why someone may be avoiding you IF they even are. Who cares if you’re pretty, others are gorgeous too, you’re not the only beautiful girl out there - the fact you jump straight to that is what makes it silly
Is your career an MLM. I feel like it is.
Maybe it’s the vibes you give off.
And yes your being silly over it.
Maybe they just dont like you. When I dont like someone I avoid all contact with them and u sound way to full of urself for ur own good sorry not sorry.
This statement makes you sound like a narcissist and screams drama… So maybe that is why other mothers don’t want to deal with you and avoid you…And BTW it isn’t ALL.ABOUT.YOU
Damn you guys are savage…
What’s going on on this post?
Confidence is not arrogance. Are these women your neighbors? Lots of people are triggered by your post.
Why are we gasping bc a woman is confident. That says so much about what’s goin on here.
Keep your head up. If they act like that, you don’t want to know them until they grow anyway
Moms are busy. Plus making friends as an adult is hard!!! Also if you have to make the comment you don’t flaunt your lifestyle, you probably do.
Some women are just very insecure and honestly, may not be capable at the time to befriend someone who makes them feel even more insecure. It could literally just not be good for their mental health. Then again, it could be something totally unrelated. I’m assuming that you have a long history of being accused of trying to “steal men” when in reality, their men just didn’t have self control and misconstrued your kindness for flirting. Happens all the time and that is not your fault. Being mean will only give you a worse reputation so you just keep being the best version of yourself without regard to how others feel about it. The real friends will be there anyway. I’m sorry so many people came for you in these comments. I honestly think I’m pretty too, in my own way. I’m not everyone’s cup of tea but my husband thinks I’m gorgeous and I’m happy to feel that way. There isn’t anything wrong with that. That being said, my roommate in college was one of the sweetest women I have met and she was extraordinarily beautiful without even trying. I witnessed her getting bullied for it so many times, it was unreal. Some women never go through that and honestly couldn’t understand the complex that it likely causes. In fact, Mary? That you girl? Cause I can still throw hands For real though… it could also just be that these women have such full plates that they don’t have room to add more and it’s not personal for them. They could be extremely selective with who they allow in their children’s life as well (I am due to a previous “friend” abusing my child). My advice to you is to pick one woman. Whichever one strikes you as the kindest. Try again and be open to honesty. Say things like, I really feel such great vibes from you and want to get to know you as a friend if that is okay with you. Don’t say things like “I think the women are jealous of me” because in these comments, you can see how that could play out. If that doesn’t work out, maybe get the kids involved in extracurricular activities and try and connect with the moms there? Friendships are a hard part of being a mom. My mom always told me that I would be able to count the number of TRUE friends in my lifetime on one hand. And she was right. I spend most of my time with my family and I have found joy in that. I do hope things get better for you and I hope that some of the more bitter women in this comment section are able to see that everyone has different issues they have to deal with and being mean to them about it doesn’t say good things about their character:(
Idk about most people, but I don’t wanna become friends with all my neighbors. I’ll be friendly, say hey and what not. I think your overthinking the situation. They already have their own lives and friends, they probably aren’t thinking about any of that. I’m sure there’s beautiful women who live around you as well.
“You wouldn’t worry about what other people think of you if you knew how seldom they do.”
Wow. So many rude comments filled with judgment here. Goodness gracious. I have nothing to say except this really can happen and I hope things get better for you.
Shit if I had a nickel for every time someone told me I intimidate them I wouldn’t ever have to work. People like that usually don’t like you because of their own reflection. To be honest I have always been a firm believer in…
You should try to force friendships with 2 kids of people.
- People who want to be you
- People who want what you have.
Because those people aren’t going to be friends because they like you. USUALLY… just my opinion
Maybe they don’t like you because you’re full of yourself and you think you’re better than them.
Gurl shoot me a message! I am not beautiful, I work in construction, and drive graveyard doordash to get by. I live in an apartment and drive a freaking Kia, and the moms in my area shun me as well…and it is an aweful feeling I know what you’re going thru keep up being confident and the shits true it doesn’t matter what you look like if they are insecure they will keep thinking you’re a husband goblin and it’s not right. The comments on here show how rude qnd cold women are. Smh everytime I read -it’s your fault people avoid you- that pisses me off because I experienced first hand trying to he nice to hitches and they won’t have anything to do with you straight out the gate
So I can so relate to you. I meet women and I’m friendly and we have a great conversation. Then we exchange numbers and I do reach out after to say, “hey I had a great time getting to know you, do you want to get together to hang out?” They usually say, “yes let me get back to you once things settle down for me or yes let me check my schedule and I’ll get back to you.” The thing is, they never get back to me! Even when I reach out a second time they still don’t set up something. Then when you run into them again they feed you the same B.S. “OMG we have to get together sometime.” This just goes on and on. They have no intentions of actually getting together. It hurts! I see them in social media posing in photos with their “friends”. I’m just not one of them! It sucks but I’ve come to realize that it’s hard making friends after a certain age. Women generally have their friends by the time they are in their 20’s! It’s hard making new friends. BUT every woman walks around saying, “omg I really don’t have many friends and I wish I had other women to hang out with” yet they do the same thing all over again. Welcome to adult hood! It makes ZERO sense and it’s not just you.
It does sound like you might be right. Beauty can be a speed bump for some women. Sadly most people judge on looks.
Don’t take things people do personally, most of the time it has absolutely nothing to do with you, they have lives too.
Join mom Facebook groups relative to your area & connect with mom’s there. Plan playdate meet ups or ladies day/night out outings. I’m moving across the country in a few months and I’ve joined various fb groups for my new area to make connections.
Is this for real someone is on a Pedi stool. Listen to yourself. I wouldn’t want to be friends with you either. You think your so high and mighty. Better than everyone else. You think other womens husbands want you. Like your some goddess . Change your attitude.
Maybe you’re too “perfect” and they may think you’re unapproachable or maybe they feel intimidated by you. It’s not uncommon
Are you and your husband good neighbors? Could you have done something to offend someone?
It’s great you are confident, but strange that you think other women would think you’d try to steal their husbands, unless you are flirting with their husbands. I don’t care how pretty you are, I have never had that thought about another woman and my husband because are relationship is solid. Are you projecting?
By this post, I see why. It’s diff you hun. Self absorbed
Well it’s clear that you think you’re better than them. That’s probably why.
It sounds like you shill some crappy mlm and they are staying away from it
