The article discusses the longing many modern mothers feel for a sense of community often referred to as 'The Village.' TikTok user Alexa expresses her frustration at the lack of interaction among local moms, which she finds isolating. Despite the shared experiences of motherhood, some moms remain closed off, making it challenging to foster connections. The comments to her post reveal a deeper reluctance among mothers to invest time in social relationships, highlighting a struggle for community despite the desire for support and connection.
We really do need that community and I know sometimes I get overstimulated and it's really, really hard, but ... why can't you say hi?
It makes motherhood feel very isolating, when other moms don't interact with the moms that are actually in your community.
I'm looking to build my village and sometimes that's really really hard when other people are just totally OK and they're in their zone.
...I think moms can make it harder on ourselves because we do tend to isolate ourselves sometimes, too.
