I feel really similar. I’m a dude, and I’ve always struggled with male friendships. I’ll ask people about themselves and their interests, get answers, and then the conversation stops with no reciprocation. I have a hard time just talking about myself unprompted, so since it’s rare for men to ask me stuff, I just get to know a lot of people but it never seems like they meet me.
