Couchies--I need a friend. I have a very hard week, but tonight was really difficult. My son plays basketball for a high school team, and they play as a club in spring/summer/fall, when HS basketball isn't in season. I go to all his games, and literally all the other parents are friends. They sit by each other, talk to each other, and whenever I try to talk to them, I get the cold shoulder. I know I don't dress as fashionably or have as much money, but I swear I'm nice. I feel like I'm reliving the rejection of High School all over again 40. How do you find ways to fit in or make new friends when you're old, shy and have been burned?
