Me too! And squealing and talking about things I don't give a rat's *** about or make me uncomfortable. Often very unrelatable. All my life it has been this way. I had one female best friend in high school and a few years past that, then VERY few after that (less than a half dozen at spread out times and I'm 56 now). Lol, when I graduated h.s., my grandparents were at the party and commented--"you walked into the house with a line of boys!". Yup, because that's who my friends were.
Currently, I am friends now with my roommate and landlady (the 2 other females in the house I live in-- there are 2 males). It's a very friendly household, so it would be weird if I wasn't. We don't go out and do things or anything, just talk at home.
I've never had the least desire to, say, have friends along clothes shopping. I know what I like and don't need anyone to reassure me. I do things alone all the time-- it's just the way it is. I'm not bothered by it.
We're talking IRL. It's quite different online, though I go only here really.
