Hi smileyface. I love your screen name, it’s very optimistic.
It is very difficult to be in your situation. Everyone is talking about diapers and sheitels and you just have nothing to contribute.
Don’t blame people for acting strange. Chances are they would like to give you support, but have no idea what to say. And when people don’t know what to say, they frequently avoid the situation. I’m sure it isn’t YOU they want to avoid.
You can help them by making the first move. You go over and talk to them. Let them know how happy you are for them. And remind them you are still looking. Perhaps they know somebody.
Much hatzlacha to you.
