Why is it so hard for me to just make female friends?
​
Honestly, I don't know why this is so difficult for me.
I've had guy friends, but I've never really had a female friend. I think I've been an introvert since the beginning, and there was even a girl I really liked in college, but I couldn't gather the courage to go and talk to her. I don't know why, but I get genuinely scared/nervous when it comes to talking to girls.
Because of this, I've never had a girlfriend or been in a relationship either.
I'm not looking for a relationship right now. I genuinely just want to make a female friend so I can get comfortable talking to girls and hopefully overcome this fear. I'm currently in Berlin for my master's, and honestly, I'd really appreciate some advice from people who have been through something similar.
What should I do? Any tips on how to get over this fear and become more comfortable talking to girls?
And if there's any girl here who'd be willing to just be friends and help me get over this awkwardness, I'd genuinely be very grateful. 😅
I just want to get past this fear once and for all so I can make normal friendships without overthinking everything.
