I have always had a hard time feeling like I have good friends, especially girlfriends. I can hang out with the guys, no problem. It’s easy to talk sports and surface level with the guys but girls talk about different things. And that has been hard for me. I genuinely don’t give a shit about a lot of the drama that seems to connect girls together. Thus I feel like girls don’t really connect with me. Don’t get me wrong, I want to know what is going on in my friends’ lives but the drama of it all doesn’t really serve me. I’ve definitely lost some friends and some invitations to girls weekends because I can’t relate. That stings in the moment but ultimately, I have to remember that it is not worth it for the betterment of me in the end and so I shouldn’t feel hurt or left out. Those experiences don’t make me better so why do I care. I guess everyone wants to feel included, even if it is just to be able to have the option to say no.
