Took a Huge step back from my friends group

Hello. I would like your opinion on a situation. I (22, F) don't have a lot of friends, specifically female friends. I am Queer and I hang out with other queer and non-queer people who are mostly men. We get along well, but I don't know why I can't seem to maintain friendships with girls for very long. Recently, I made a group of female friends at university. Everything was going well at first, we spent most of our time together, and then all of a sudden, they all got into relationships. As a result, I find myself spending less time with them at the expense of their relationships. This attitude really hurt me. To the point that lately, I've ended up distancing myself from them. At least on my end. Sometimes when I explain my problems, they don't have enough time to give me to comfort me, or they don't have much to say. Which made me think that there's no point in confiding in them. They are completely disconnected from my reality. And most of the time, what interests them is their relationships or their own little lives. And I understand that everyone grows up and that we all need to move forward with our lives, but I don't like finding myself in a situation where I feel like I'm the only person who wants it to work. My friends have known each other for a long time, so their relationship is different from the one they and I have. And I feel that too. For now, I haven't told them anything. I'm just staying in my corner. But I don't think I'll go back to them for all these reasons. At least not for a long time. What do you think?
