Struggling to socialize
I’m a 24 yr old FTM and my baby girl is a month old now, throughout pregnancy I really became a homebody, only socializing with family and discord servers. Since having the baby I’ve had 2-3 bonfires hosted at my house with a max of 6-7 people who are friends I’ve known for nearly 4 years but haven’t really been around them much while hosting, always keeping to my bedroom. And then my first major outing with baby was July 4th at a friends house with over 30 people, and I get so overwhelmed anymore, everything about the party was me sticking close to my baby or my family. Before being pregnant and becoming a mom I was constantly going out every Friday and Saturday night, but now… getting me around more than 3 people is terrible 🫠 I don’t talk, I feel stressed when people have more than one conversation… I didn’t realize how much I’d lose part of myself.
Don’t ever get me wrong, my baby is my world, I want to be around her constantly and honestly as much as I’m complaining about losing the old part of me, I’d rather be around her, rather keep my peace than be stressed out.
