Does anyone else have trouble making new adult friends, especially with other women?

I know that a couple of other women on here have had this issue. With me though, it’s so bad, that I’m 95% certain that I’ll completely give up on even trying anymore soon.

I tried to meet orher adult women on a social media site. 27 women messaged me breifly. They expressed interest in wanting to meet, but then I never heard from them again.

I only met 6 women in person. Only one lady actually contacted me back to hang out again. The other 5 seemed nice, but I neverheard back from them.

The last two women were women that I clicked with the most & although they said they’d like to meet me again, I haven’t heard back from them in over a week.

It’s still to soon, but time will tell if they were serious or not. Two women are still messaging me.

One of them had a second death in the family. One of them is always busy spending time with her kids or family.

I blocked & deleted 5 or 6 self absorbed women who only talked about themselves. I didn’t think I’d click with one woman, so I didn’t bother meeting her

One woman flaked on me twice, so I gave up on her. I had a feeling she was making up excuses.

I’ll meet one lady for the second time this week. Hopefully she won’t flake out on me. I didn’t hear back from her one time & I almost gave up thinking she wasn’t in talking to me anymore.

This is so frustrating! Why is it so hard to make friends with other women?

I wish that I could meet some actual nice & respectful guys who are fine with having a platonic friendship, but that isn’t possible it seems like.

So that is why I’m sticking to trying to associate with orher women only.

I kept things light & didn’t complain about anything with these women I talked to.

It seems to me that a lot of women are extremely picky & that they only want to associate with other women who are similar to them. The women I met know that I don’t have a good career like most of them do.

And most of them have kids too. I don’t. Maybe they rejected me for that. Idk.

The two I clicked with the most don’t have any kids. They both felt like they’ve been judged unfairly by most people too.

I have definitely went out of my comfort zone to make friends! No one can understand how hard this is for someone with social anxiety except for those people who have social anxiety & similar issues.

This is way, way to much work with almost no payoff! It’s like trying to find a job. I feel like I went through a ton of job interviews & only ended up getting one offer that wasn’t my first choice, ugh!!!!!

Eff this, I’m done! I’m sick of being the one to do most of the intiating, the listening, etc.

I’m done with the excuses that sound questionable at time & b.s too. I don’t expect much & I’m a genuinely nive person. Maybe the fact that I’m shy & introverted is off putting to most people, idk.

People expect way to much put of me & judge me to quickly. I’m just done with this b.s!

It seems like most of the time only selfish self absorbed people or people who don’t really have any or very few friends because of having certain issues like mental health issues that might annoy or be to much to handle for most people ever want to be my friend. I’d rather have no friends than toxic one!

The few that I have left are more like acquaintances than friends. I only have one real friend now, ugh.

Please no rude or judgemental replies . I already have enough issue dealing with clinical depression, anxiety, and other things.
