Okay so I’m 20 f and I don’t really have any female friends because I moved a while ago. I can’t help but think that the older u get as a female, the more difficult it is to actually make friends and fit in.🥲

sharpdolphin-67

Tbh, its hard to make friends online because theres too many bots, but then you can make friends IRL too but some people have anxiety including myself so It 50/50 here

dustyheron-33

just a thought, would it be easier to connect with people if you have a purpose? like if you wanna learn drawing/painting or dance.. and join some groups.. it could force a common ground and start conversations..

vividtiger-76

ofcccc :3

vividtiger-76

all depends on the girl I think a lot of girls are really different

vividtiger-76

and so they, I know it’s kind of hard to explain, but if a girl doesn’t like another girl, she won’t show it

vividtiger-76

or she will, and you would just just have to deal with the toxicity, but most girls don’t show that they don’t like that girl they just gossip about her

vividtiger-76

yeah, cause that’s the only thing they really know how to do without hurting your feelings or like they don’t wanna say it to you, but they will let other people know

snowyorange-96

So real

vividtiger-76

yessss

vividtiger-76

I think boys are different. They genuinely don’t really care and if they do, they’re either one really insecure singers for girls or two they think you’re ugly which I’ve I’ve dealt with before or three you did something wrong to offend them but there wouldn’t just be a reason that they would hate you.

vividtiger-76

like especially for girls they would hate you cause they’re jealous of you like genuinely. That’s the only reason why girls hate they might think you’re ugly but girl if you’re gonna hate them by other girls that’s cause you’re that pretty.

cosmicyellow-69

It's not difficult

@vividtiger-76 yeah, cause that’s the only thing they really know how to do without hurting your feelings or like…
swiftdelta-92

so to not offend another woman, women talk shit about them on their backs.

smart

swiftdelta-92

:pepebrain:

@swiftdelta-92 so to not offend another woman, women talk shit about them on their backs. smart
cosmicyellow-69

I guess i gotta talk shi behind their backs

@swiftdelta-92 so to not offend another woman, women talk shit about them on their backs. smart
vividtiger-76

pretty much

vividtiger-76

like cause we don’t wanna say it to them obviously, who does

swiftdelta-92

i do

vividtiger-76

I mean, I feel like anyone would do that but boys are just too dumb to do that. They would genuinely say it to their friend or they’d say it to you like straight up.

@swiftdelta-92 so to not offend another woman, women talk shit about them on their backs. smart
