What gender do you feel relates more to you ?
All my friends are male usually and I really want to bond with girls too.

@HootyTheNightOwl I feel you and you have my empathy. 🫂
@SpiritSkye My mother had to reassure my "big brother" that he'd have to give me time and patience - and put up with me staring at him while I settle down with him. That's just the way I've been, having never really had a safe relationship with the men around me as a child (most were physically abusive towards me and wanted to hit me).
It's not uncommon for me to bond with someone I feel safe with, yet still need to watch other members of their family. No matter how hard I try, I can't tame that primal response... even a man I don't know walking too close behind me stresses me enough for me to start having symptoms of a health crisis and try to get away from him.
