Why I'm not allowing myself to be as vulnerable with women as I am with men ?

what is it I'm reacting with..

interesting new points whilst I'm getting ready for work. There's a 17yo girl I was sharing the shift with yesterday and I noticed how she's in this Very defensive mode with women but so open with men.
I recognised myself there at that age.
But 20 years later and at 37 now, I'm still noticing that, I still am having something that I haven't explored yet with the feminine energy.
Of course it's not that I have found out everything about men, but it's fascinating that, being a woman I still seem to know more about the masculine rather than the feminine energy.

I know very well why in myself. I have a paranoia that if I'm going to be too nice and too friendly with women they might think I'm a lesbian. 😆 I can't help it. I feel like I can't judge well what is the right amount of closeness and distance so I rather opt for distance.

I find the opposite to be true😅
Women rarely interpret friendliness as something more. Unlike men. Just a simple smile is enough to make them think you’re flirting, and they’ll start hitting on you right away

@Nunki Yes but it's a bit different. I guess I try to be politely nice to everyone but wouldn't mind as much if a man misinterpreted my intentions than if a woman would. It doesn't mean that it's something that would likely happen, it's just a paranoia in my head. 😅
