I am going to try this again...

So my problem is this.  Before my babies and my husband, I was somewhat of a wild child. Plus, my the first half of my life, I was a tomboy. So even in my late teens and early twenties, when I was no longer a tomboy, still all my friends were guys. I have just always found it easier to get along with guys. I never got along with other girls very well. It just seemed that we had nothing in common. I HATE to shop, I don't care that much about fashion, and I HATE talking on the phone, ect.

But then, I had some babies and got married and settled down, and it was no longer appropriate to be running around with just guys all day, so I have started to try to make girl friends, but its hard for me. I always end up acting like someone i'm not, because i'm nervous. I am normally a very fun loving, sometimes loud, bluntly truthful person. but when i'm around a new girl or group of women, I just automatically get insecure. I feel like they are judging me, even though I know this isn't always true. I just wish i could be myself and make some girl friends who are like me.

Do you understand? Anyone?

I understand. I am the same way. I always had guy friends and now that I have a family I dont think its the best choice. I have a few girl friends but I have found that if they dont like me for me then maybe they shouldnt be in my group of friends. I like to be me. I dont want to have to be someone else to have friends.Best thing I can say is be you. If they dont like you then they aren't worth it. You will find friends who are female and like you for you. Dont change for anyone. It will never be a good thing. Is having friends you have to be fake around really all that worth it?

Hey Tessa, you sound eerily familiar to myself.
