Why is it so hard to make genuine female friendships

I agree same here

Forreal feel this. Sometimes it feels like some new friends you make are like holding out for a better offer. Idk if it's just where I live but sometimes it feels like social climbing.

Amen

Totally agreed and feel that

I live in Brooklyn It’s like this out here we scream we want friendship but are never consistent with it. We don’t put In the actual effort

Yeah it’s hard not to think it’s something wrong w you but obviously it’s a common feeling. But yeah I’m just like how do I match w so many ppl and nothing sticks.

It’s more like empty words and no real genuine effort behind

Hey Ladies💗
Im joe and I talk with emojis. I love this thread because not too many women are open enough about this topic. I fully agree with all of it. The social climbing, the lack of effort, even the lingering insecurities that come with not having "your circle". It's really sad that so many of us have so much in common despite our many diverse demographics. Like we all experience joy and pain, we all know what ups and downs feel like. More importantly we are all humans that thrive on connection. (Not including those with actual diagnosis and can not) But even then, it helps to have someone in your corner who doesn't judge, criticize, compare, or worse. I dont know any of you. And im not going to say that location doesn't matter. Because demographics matter in relationships. But, what matters most is finding women who on on the same path and who honor the same things. We also have to have grace. None of us are perfect. Some seasons call for fellowship and some for isolation. 🌸💖✨

Then being okay with being you, like the real you, not being afraid of correction because its usually from people who want to see you thrive and be our best selves. But also knowing that everyone is not for you. And thats okay too.💗🤞🏼

Im in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area and a lot of women are so catty towards one another. Always in competition. Im 35 and have 2, just two in my circle. And even then I feel like I have no one because I cant share everything with them. Idk. I hope this helps. 🫶🏼😊

Im open for chatting more or going deeper with this. Stay blessed and beautiful ladies. And if no one told you today. You're amazing and NO ONE can offer the world what you can🤩✨️

I have the same problem, but I think because us women are very hormonal. We may have some days of the month where we don’t feel like being ourselves and we take it out on the people that we love so we’re easily misunderstood.. hence why some of us who do go through phases or hormonal phases specifically we are not able to maintain most relationships. I had a friend who would swear at me monthly and call me names just because of her hormones and I had to cut her off. Equally, I don’t take shit so I didn’t really have friends anymore.
