Why You’re Struggling To Make Female Friends
You’ve given making friends your best effort, but still with no luck. Is it a you problem? Is it a them problem? Or is something else to blame? Here are a few reasons you might be struggling to make female friends.
Everywhere you look, it seems like every girl has a plethora of deep, close, ride-or-die friends. Scrolling through TikTok shows you groups of girlfriends doing dance trends together and laughing. Swiping through Instagram stories presents you with an endless stream of your acquaintances posting pictures from their girls’ night out. Coming into the office means you’ll hear all about the fun movie night your coworkers had that you weren’t invited to. Flipping through Netflix will bring up a TV show that depicts a woman your age who has the kind of friends she can call day or night. And it really feels like everyone in the world has friends, except for you.
And it’s not due to a lack of effort on your part, either. You’ve signed up for Bumble BFF and swiped for months. You’ve invited other girls out for coffee more than just once. You’ve attempted to reconnect with old friends from high school. You’ve gone to local gatherings, book clubs, and classes with the hope that you might meet the Diana Barry to your Anne Shirley – your kindred spirit friend.
