I have had friends but these friendships don't last. Either the person becomes engulfing, or I manage to annoy them or violate some hidden protocol in some way. I have just about given up on having women friends. Also being disabled limits my ability to go out and try to make friends. So yes, I can relate.

Wow, you nailed what I have felt for a long time perfectly! I agree, a lot of women can be like that! Especially in groups! It's even harder to make friends when you're introverted and shy with social anxiety and depression! I know what Asperger's is. Sometimes I feel like I have it although I probably don't. I'm just a bit socially awkward.
I often feel like most women don't even try to get to know me since I'm different too. I hate it when other women get annoyed at you and not tell you what the problem is. Why not just speak up instead of giving you the silent treatment or flat out stop talking to whoever "offended" them in some way? I'd give up too if I didn't need more friends. It sucks hardly having any friends!
