Is it just as you get older and have kids and spouses you don't have those deep meaningful conversations with friends anymore? Everyone is too busy with their own lives to get deep every once and a while?

I'm really confused about this. I'm not a complainer at all so I don't think I annoy people with my issues. I also don't want anything from anyone other than just to be heard every once and a while. I usually just listen and comment on other peoples stuff but I don't get that back much. Basically I say a few things about my life and they make a single comment and that's it. . .When I feel I'm obviously reaching out needing to speak for a bit. Is this common? Maybe there's something wrong with me that I don't have those friendships.

Hi Twistedfate22
Human connection is very important in our lives. having a friend that can listen and give feed back is key to social interaction especially for women. Reading a book is having a conversation with the author. When live human connections is not going "deed" with you, reading a book can fill the gap. Look for books along the field of Personal Development (Self Confidence and Self Esteem + leadership) and have a conversation with an author. play with your kids from time to time and read the Personal development books with your kids and discuss/ have a conversation about a chapter or 3... and keep connecting with friends
