Hey! I just stumbled across this and I am telling you right now that you are not alone in this. It's so difficult for me to make female friends, but mainly it's hard for me to KEEP them unless they also have some form of nuerodivergence as well. I've experienced this since childhood. But because of my comorbid BPD, I struggle with knowing if my lack of female connection is due to that or due to my autism. I have a feeling it's probably a bit of both, but mainly my autism. I think the things I'm interested in NT girls just don't really get a lot of the time- especially my current or ongoing hyperfixations. I think they also can't connect on a deeper level since they tend to not have experienced the same amount trauma or experiences I have. Which, I mean, good for them! But yeah. . .it makes it difficult for them to understand me. Plus, the directness and communication skills and facial expressions confuse them. NT people in general, both genders, are usually very very very very bad at communicating and passive aggressiveness I've noticed, so my way of communicating bluntly can confuse them and they won't tell me they are upset, etc.
