A girl has recently shared a story about herself on NUSWhisper Facebook group and in her post, she mentioned that nobody wanted to befriend her and she felt sad about it.
According to her, she enjoyed gaming and watching soccer over the normal girl stuff such as shopping. She mentioned that she only has a few female friends but they didn’t have a common topic to chat most of the time. Her friend even advised her to be more feminine and stop doing those “Boyish” stuff.
In her post:
“Hi..I just wanna pen down my loneliness here 🙁 I’m female in my mid-20s…and I barely have any friends…am I the problem?
It’s so hard to make friends with other ladies these days..Is this normal? I mean I do have 1 or 2 female friends but we don’t have any common topic we can chat about over a meal. They’re usually talking about their boyfriends, bags, shopping and wedding. But I’m the odd one. A little background of myself, I’m somehow a gamer during my leisure time, watch soccer, valorant, csgo, ML and FIFA. Spend most of my time at home playing games or watching soccer.
My female friends always ask me to stop being so “boyish”. I don’t see why I should stop?? because I’m a female and I can’t play or do these? I do have a couple of male gamer friends, well I get similar advice. Be more feminine, go hang out with my colleagues, meet more people. But it’s not really my thing. I’m not an extrovert, doesn’t know how to keep conversations going.
Nobody wanna befriend me 🙁 Am I just weird? How can I improve and grow a true friendship who can accept me for who I am? sigh.”
