I Enjoy the Company and Friendship of Women

I don't have any sisters, I have few friends because I was never allowed to be close to anyone outside of our house, when I lived with my Mother and stepdad.

At the refuge, I made two friends, one in the staff and one woman who had been beaten by her husband so she miscarried. These women were my salvation!

I have had equally negative experiences in my life when I've tried to make friends among men and women alike.

I have few friends, because when my family and I moved to the small town we're in now, we were viewed as the "outsiders" of the area. Being homeschooled by my family, which resulted in my being largely sheltered, didn't help matters either, but after high school, I tried to make friends at a church, at jobs, at restaurants, at bars...people just seemed to want my company in small doses and never for an extended period of time. The rare times people actually did offer to hang out with me, they never followed through with it (like they were just saying that to make me feel better).

@Fernie Thankfully, my self-awareness and self-esteem has improved much in the last few years. But even if these people didn't think I was trying to sleep with them, what I said about them being paranoid about trusting the wrong person certainly holds true.

@SubZeroSlays808Are you sure about what those people are thinking? It could very well be you who's thinking all that. Anyway, keep on growing

@Fernie These are only my theories as to what these people could be thinking, but after spending much time in deep thought and reflection of these times of my life, I've definitely leaned more towards any of them being true than anything else.

Thank you though, I will certainly try my best!

Women have always been my salvation too. We are all sisters. We have, throughout herstory supported each other. It makes me happy to know you have women friends that you cherish...there are far too many women out there who have NO women friends because they see other women as threats and competition, very sad. Friendship between women is quite different than friendships with men for he most part. Women understand each other

I also don't have a real sister. But I found one online. Now we talk everyday and she loves and cares for me. I also love and consider her like real sister.

Learning how to connect with other humans may be the most important lesson of all.
