3 Painful Moments of Not Having Friends

@おもち◀ ︎ Daily life of a housewife without friends

Good evening!

It is a rice cake of a housewife who has no friends for 35 years.

This time, it's hard to have no friends 🙌

① When asked at the beauty salon, "Are you going out now?"

② When parents are worried

③ When there is no one who can act together at the event

Do you have anything that applies to you?

Let me know in the comments 😊

....................................

Thank you for looking at the post 😊

A housewife of 35 years.

We are sending out the daily life that does not shine in the neighborhood.

Likes and comments are encouraging ❣️

I would be happy if you could feel free to send me a DM ☺️

友達がいないことで感じる孤独感は、普段あまり口に出せない悩みですよね。私も35年もの長い間、友達がいないぼっち主婦としてずっとその孤独に寄り添ってきました。特に美容院で「これからお出かけですか？」と聞かれたときは、何も予定がなくて切なくなります。周りはみんな友達や家族とお出かけしている中、自分だけ何も予定がない現実を思い知らされる瞬間です。また、親が心配してくれるのは温かい反面、友達がいないことを改めて感じてしまい、複雑な気持ちになることもあります。私の場合は「嘘じゃないけど、話すこともなくて…」と仮想の友達を作り上げたりして、心のバランスを取ることもありました。さらに、イベントや行事で一緒に行動できる人がいないと、本当に孤独を味わいます。周囲が楽しそうに過ごしている中、ぼっちでいることが辛いですが、中止になればかえってホッとする自分もいます。友達がいないことは決して恥ずかしいことではなく、それぞれの事情や性格があります。私の経験から言うと、無理に友達を作ろうと焦るより、自分のペースで気楽に過ごすことのほうが長く続けやすいです。もし共感してくれたら、ぜひ気軽にコメントやDMで話しかけてくださいね。あなたもひとりじゃありません。
