Re: I need friends 
Definitely female companionship. I’ve always been more comfortable talking to guys than girls. I was a tomboy as a kid and my degree and even my career is in a male dominated industry. It’s just based on my upbringing I can’t let myself get too close to a male friend. I’ve seen it lead to complications and I’d rather just avoid the whole thing. Now female friendship is practically an unknown to me and I’d like to understand it. I’ve never had a female best friend and that makes me feel like a total oddity. What can I do to break out of my shell? You’re probably right about the other person thinking the same thing as me, but that never occurs to me at the time. It think I just have too many self doubts and no confidence when it comes to taking the first step.
