Not sure how to have conversations anymore…

I’m a mom of 2 small kids, I work full-time, trying to stay afloat with eating right, meditating, working out, making homemade meals, making my kids childhood memorable, ensuring they get enough books read to them, make sure I maintain a emotional/physical relationship with my husband, and and and…

I have been meeting with various friend groups and people will ask, “how’s it going?” Nobody really wants to hear about the juggling act we are all doing, nor am I going to go into everything I’m trying to unravel in therapy. And then 6 minutes later, we are tugged away by a crying child. I just feel like I’m uninteresting.

These conversations and interactions leave me feeling unfulfilled and I find myself to be bland to talk to. I feel uninteresting, and yet, I am trying to do so many things to better myself…

What do you talk about in social settings? What makes you interesting?
