I have absolutely NO plans to make good friends with other moms at ongoing. I mean, I will chitchat at school functions and volunteer together as needed, but I already have my best friends and am not looking to make bosom friends. Just acquaintances to make small talks with and talk about school stuff with. Am I going to be perceived as anti-social? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I guess it's also your body language and all that. it may be fine or people may think you're a bit of a snob. Anti-social is something else and I wouldn't jump to that conclusion, but the snob conclusion. [ Reply | More

It seems like a weird attitude to go in with. I understand that you're not looking to make close friends, which is fair enough. But what if you happen to really click with someone? You'll deliberately avoid getting closer because you already have enough friends? [ Reply | More

I think it is a bizzare attitude. None of us go in thinking "wow I can't wait to meet my new bff". Making friends is a natural part of life and it is very common to make friends with people who you share experiences with. Why try to fight it. More friends can only enrich your life. [ Reply | More
