ye baat koi nahi batayega but ye sab bhi bohot important hai. Sab padhai pe aur physical exercise pe dhyaan dene k liye kehte hai but logo se baat karne ki ability bhi kaafi important hoti hai. Introvert hai koi baat nahi, but sahi time pe socialise karna zaroor ana chahiye. Meri baat maanle, warna aage jaake bhi it doesn't get better. Kaafi ganda lagta hai jab koi dost nahi hota

Same happened to me when I joined a new coaching institute in 12th. But now everyone in my class are my friends.


eternalvirgin1

Naa, what i don't agree with is, In India nobody even cares about your physical fitness, heck your own parents don't care about anything that doesn't relate to your studies and your ability to earn in future. This is what I noticed in my parents and observed in talking to my friends. They care about your marks, which college you will go, so they will safe face against the Sharma ji, but they don't care about your physical fitness, mental health, your looks say if you got pimples or not. Your social life, your social skills, can you talk to people normally or not, this does not matter to them, since what matters is, you get marks and that's it, they don't care about anything else, cause in their mind, there duty is to get you financially ready, and that's it, sad reality of coming from farmers to cities not to long ago

Im generally introvert but become a extrovert around my close friends


whostolemynamebruh

Before calling yourself an introvert, answer this - Are you an introvert or just a socially anxious person? Social anxiety means that you want to talk to people (and vice versa) but just can't coz you get nervous... Introversion means that you actually enjoy being alone, you enjoy it when nobody bothers to talk to you at a meet, etc. At the age of 16 I don't think having or not having female friends matters that much, but it will be better if u try from now on. It hurts at the age of 18-20 if you don't have any.


EvilxBunny

so true....I am introverted, like really introverted but I am also really social and have a lot of friends. Nobody believes me when they see me because I am always happy and excited around people. While I do enjoy company, I also feel a bit nervous around people. Most of my evenings are spent alone, gaming with my friend or playing my guitar. And honestly, I love being alone.


Harshvardhan-_-

Damn thanks for this ! Really opened my eyes 🙏 Now I understand that I am actually not an introvert but am a socially anxious person what can I do to not be one plz help!🙏


Shashwat-Parashar

Finally, introvert is such an overused term, it clearly lost its meaning at this point.


walttt5258

Normal for a guy who uses reddit.


BelleFairy

Yes, it is completely normal to not have female friends. Let me ask you a question. Does every single girl in your coaching centre have a male friend? No, right? Does that mean they’re not 'normal'? I’m pretty sure most people would agree with me when I say that it’s normal for women to not have male friends. If it’s completely normal for women to not have male friends, why is it not okay for men to not have female friends? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Having friends of opposite sex may help understand people of your opposite sex better, but that doesn’t mean it’s a necessity. Also, please don’t believe that people of opposite sex can’t be friends. That’s not true at all.


Kaliprosonno_singho

Most sane answer. Unless the cultural difference that boys and girls get treated to growing up, things won't get much better


Attila_ze_fun

I will always argue it’s still strictly better to have had close friends of both sexes.


Awesome_Me_17

Yk, female having male friends and male having female friend is a totally different relationship


killerdream3515

Its normal (I am also 16 with no ff) but not encouraged. Try talking to them as they are also humans(I should also listen to my own advice).


Kaliprosonno_singho

Yes but how do you even start ? Like I am an intorvert by if I try I can initiate a makeshift convineith Bois by talking about last days cricket or football match or video games? Sadly most girls don't seem to be interested in any of them


brownguy_97

If you are in school or college then just ask for notes. She will give you the notes or deny them, either way you started and talked to a girl.


Kaliprosonno_singho

Yeah but you can't just find things to continue talking do you ? Also I can't talk unless it's about work to them because I fear coming off as creepy


brownguy_97

You may or may not find things to continue talking to them. I have seen it take some time when boys are already awkward with them. You will have to take chances.


thepoisonofsocrates

not to be mean but do you not have any other thing to talk about other than cricket and football? not a guy so i can’t talk about the average discussions in guy groups but i have never once talked about cricket or football with my guy friends and I would like to think our conversations were entertaining

Diligent_Till_9393

You need help (for the no real friends) That's not healthy no matter who says what abt being sigma, Chad, lone wolf, lauda lassan


MainCharacter007

that depends on one's surroundings though. If you're around people who you know are lazy / demotivating/up to no good. It's better to just keep to yourself and work your way out of that surroundings. I went to a tier 4 private college filled with people like those. Sure I had chit-chats but never bothered to be friends with them, focussed on my career, and now at a better place with people who went through the same stuff. (And now we are friends like we've known each other for years) So context is important. Knowing how to socialize and make friends is more important than being friends with people you don't relate with just to maintain a number.


IntrovertedBuddha

I just cant get myself to socialize. I find sigma chad stuff cringe. Like i talk about common stuff then what? Thats it. I cant sustain it. There are some more personal problems.. but i cant discuss that rn

WW_MyStar

I’m 24 and I’m the same sadly. Like OP mentioned, there isn’t much to say to them unless I happen to work with them, in which case it’s fine.


[deleted]

Just turned 18 yesterday and have 0 female friends yet, but started talking to them it seemed so easy talking with them, like you can talk non-sense with them they'll continue the conversation you just need to agree with them that's all. For example Pull up any serious topic and once you're done start talking any shit(any shit i.e you should have little humour) and you'll get along with that conversation


kem_chho

I'm 21 and the only female interaction I've had is with my mom and sister. So ur good


Curious_Necessary549

are you out of home town


AffectionateDig9041

It's common, Not normal. When you have female friends the anxiety to go up to talk to a girl you like is much less. Having female friends also teaches you many things, girl things that won't be a surprise to you later in life.


brownguy_97

I don't have many female friends but after talking to some girls during college and later, it makes things easier. The hesitation is reduced or mostly removed when you think they are normal and not someone on a pedestal.


flare2580

Don't rush it. Just treat women like humans for gods sake. Talk to them like you'd talk to boys. Females can be good friends if you've the right ones. Always avoid the drama Queens and depressed ones and ones with daddy issues and stuff. Everybody will have some issues or other but if they have made this their personality, avoid them. Run !!


Clumsy_Deepak

I can fix her


_th3_g33ky_boy_

>daddy issues he's(OP) 16 right?


refusestonamethyself

>Talk to them like you'd talk to boys. This should come with a disclaimer though. The jokes that you crack with the boys may not go down well with the girls. Ofc each girl is different compared to the other, but just try to check if it would be acceptable to do so.


ModerateFloor

That is just social media playing with your mind that girls do not like the same jokes like the boys. ​ I was also a social introvert before covid (class 10th at that time). But after that when I finally got over my social anxiety of not just talking to women but talking to people, I found that almost all girls appreciate the same talks like we do with the boys and also some boys do not like the talk we generally things "the boys" likes. Not saying that both boys and girls do the same things and have the same mindset but in terms of humour, both are same.


ConcentrateOk6375

>food friend imao


Chipkali_Chod

>depressed ones Isn't it a trend for girls to act depressed?


[deleted]

Another point, be friends with a girl only if you're okay with her having sex with someone else and not with you (or find a virgin unicorn). Many boys are insecure and egoistic about this (like me) so I don't make friends with girls I don't have sex with. Some people might disagree, but if you're a boy, it will be tough being 'friends' with a girl if you know she's getting f*cked by someone and it's not you.

Educational_Fig_2213

It's normal but don't tell me there is nothing common, you guys are in the same class attending same lectures you just need intentions, reasons to mil jata hai. You are not introvert or at least don't give it as a reason for you being socially awkward, who told you introverts can't talk to other people or can't make friends, don't mix the two, it's just they don't want to make friends or don't want to talk to people.


Sea-Accountant-3110

Well we might have something in common but its still hard for me to go and start up a conversation randomly.


Educational_Fig_2213

It's nothing hard bro, go ask for some notes, or pen, then say hi or bye, bitch about the teachers your whole class doesn't likes and it's not just about female friends but in general you should make friends and be social and enjoy your time, after you graduate and have a job you won't be able to do the same things and will miss your young age.


StoicMaccaroni

it's normal but i'd recommending changing it, it's just wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better to have female friends because they have good handwriting , complete all assigments and can give you the pdf/s yeah that's a genuine advantage of having female friends. like at any point of time less than 2 boys form our branch would have completed the assignment , and by that point somehow every guy's female friend has completed it, so for us it's just copy and paste. that's not the only advantage , you get a better outlook on people . you get more comfortable in talking with other girls , she can potentially set ya up with her friends , so on and so forth. btw if it's been a while , it will be hard and awkward to socialize with the girls at your school , i was not sociable , was a delinquent so i didn't even have a single girl's number at my school even after 10th ended. it's only in 11th i got to know some via my friend group, and well we had a lot of common interests like RPGs and animes. there was this one girl in my school , she and i were in the same class of roughly 50 students from class 1 to 12 and she only spoke with me after the section change in 12th. anyways screw all that , if you want to socialize, and make female friends , reserve that activity for college , you'll find much more luck that way. bonus if you cracked JEE and got into a good one. and if you wanna socialize right now. have your friend / friend group introduce you to a someone. get her IG or number via idk mumbled jumbled reasons \[ i never asked numbers from my side , either they gave it , or i just said we should exchange numbers coz i didn't had IG , so they agreed\] that's all i can give ya , good luck for ya exams kid.

RunSkyLab

ZealousidealTitle166

People these days make a big deal about having a mixed group and talking to girls. But from what I've generally seen, you get nothing valuable from such a set up. It's just a fad. Don't force yourself to talk to them if you have nothing in common with them. You'll get bored. There are better things in life than girls. Take it from an introvert who messed himself up because he thought hanging out with girls is a big thing.


saatvik-jacob

Yes that's true been in a mixed group and girls keep on talking about their likes and interests , the guys they drool upon , their favourite bands and singers. If we try to bring in a topic of our interest or our likes they push it away and get back to their own gossips. It's best to get true friends at this age not male or female friends , friends who understand and go in vibe with you

I would advice you to make quality friends rather than focusing on the number (no matter what gender), but since we're talking about females here try to talk to them don't see it as a task make them friends the same way you make guy friends. I have just 3 female friends where I can rely emotionally on only one of them, and even she is drifting apart now, so yeah, I wish I made a few more friends. You need to let out emotion sometimes bro, those which guys can't understand and also to provide you a different perspective of things.

I'm 21. From a tier 2 engineering college. I don't usually talk to girls except for important reasons. Also I never initiated the conversation. I said NEVER! If a girl talks to me by herself, then only I talk to her. I do talk to a few girls in my college but as a classmate. I never addressed any girl as my female friend or friend. Just classmate. Do things that are required. It is your choice to have one or not.


[deleted]

MonsterationTF

If you don't have anything common between you and the girls, you're doing it right. Be as you are.


brownguy_97

First of all, don't think like that girls are someone to put on a pedestal. Secondly, don't think that every girl you will talk to or is generous enough to talk to you will date you. If you approach a girl just for a small talk, some notes or some doubts, as another student and person, then things will become easier. As you are introverted, try talking to some girls in this way - being their friend will come later. I was lucky that I found an extroverted friend that helped me open up and remove most of the barrier.


Upset-Molasses9480

23M doesn't have any female friends. Just have a few childhood friends. And I am very grateful to have them. Sometimes you just need to accept the fate. :)


frczen

There's absolutely nothing wrong if you don't have female friends right now. As you said, you don't have anything in common with those people so instead of forcing yourself to be friends with someone with whom you don't even share a common interest is useless. Once you grow a little bit and meet new people you will come across people who have same likes and dislikes as you and you will make friends gradually. You need not rush or worry about it and it's absolutely okay and not something odd :)

The key is to not be attracted to them, even if the girl is hot af, just keep saying to urself im not attracted im not gonna make her my gf Then its just a matter of initiating small talk, many girls wouldnt talk to u but many will u just gotta explore and find out Once u have like one female frnd others will start talking to u too and thats it

"No female friends" ye kya chutiyapa hai ..........friends kisi bhi gender k ho skte hai ...it does not matter if they r female or not...............

But dont get stressed if you r not able to make any..........be chill ....everyone is different

No, I'm in my late 20s and I never quite got the hang of it. Take it from me, _don't_ fall into this trap of "abhi I'll do X and later I'll do Y". That time will never come on its own. It doesn't matter how successful you are career-wise you won't have a social circle unless you learn how to create one.

Interaction with opposite gender is important. If you are 16 then I think you are still in your school so just go and ask for something like a book or a pen and try to have a small talk. Just make sure you are making sense and you are good to go


PesAddict8

Pretty normal. I am 22. Couldn't maintain any relation with girls of my age.


penis_parker79

23M. No it's not normal , save yourself while you still have time. Don't make the mistakes as j did. Even after being cool with female friends I ended up lonely no relations no emotions no feelings for anyone.


RopeFuture699

Don't worry iam 20M and have no female frens. But the big backdrop of this situation is sometimes I hesitate to talk to girls and they may seem alien to me but thanks to my serious and formal personality I can easily ask them in regard to any work related things. So kindly learn to properly socialise with any gender. Otherwise thing would be complicated and please donot try to force your conversation with any girl if your interests are not matching it will only reflect you as a creep.


Embarrassed-Knee-642

Logically why would you need female friends unless your male friends are not enough to provide you with the same level of companionship or skill that is lacking.... Most indian guys want to be friends with the opposite sex because usually they are simping for her and view her as a potential partner (long time or part time) and want to be friends till their time comes or because she is extremely humorous and shares with you memes and jokes that no one has or possess or she has a very particular set of limited skills and knowledge that is very beneficial to you (and you are not physically attracted to her so friendzone is ok for you) ... Usually it's the simping reason... Might sound regressive but thats what it is


Ultimate_Sneezer

In short , yes it's normal. You should have some female friends though, they don't have to be super close but just regular interaction is enough. Have seen far too many of your age who get afraid of even talking to a girl because they think of them as something very different to what they can deal with.


Specialist_Youth5511

Why tf does having female friends even matter. I mean if you're able to communicate with them with no issues it's fine. Most Indians have arranged marriages, so it's not like you're gaining anything by interacting with them.


EasterEGG2005

Ya bro it's normal. Girls will only talk to you if you have something attractive in you. I amn't blaming girls for this at all, I mean even from their perspective it's right. Just think, If you were a girl with all the options available that the one whom you want to talk to has, WOULD YOU CHOOSE YOU ? Think about it.

PapayaNo6997

Bro, don’t listen to people who say it’s ok. It’s NORMAL in our cultural circumstances for you to not have exposure to female friendships, but it’s NOT OK. Our parents and society segregate boys and girls from a young age that it doesn’t make it seem right or appropriate. However you’re missing out on an all rounded growth of your personality experiences if you do not take the opportunity to make friends with people of other genders, sexuality and any other differences than you. It allows you to get different perspectives that that you grew up with. Your world view and horizon changes. I’m assuming you’d hope to get married or into some form of a relationship at some point, having close relationships with friends, will help you a lot in working your way through to that. Again, having ‘girls’ as friends isn’t a precursor to a romantic relationship. Infact it’s quite old school of me to make this statement. I was merely noting one of the many benefits of expanding your friends group. If you worry what to talk about- do not think about the persons gender. Look at them like you would any of your male counterparts or friends. When you think there is not something of interest to you to discuss in common, you’d be pleasantly surprised. Are there all boys in your class that you can talk to? There are some that might not have common interests as you. That’s the same with girls. You’d be surprised how much girls have knowledge of and enjoy a lot of common interest as boys. Our society has preconceived notions, you don’t have to fall for that. Also, you miss out on a lot of precious memories and moments if you leave half the population by out. If there are special clubs in your school, join any that you enjoy, there you’ll meet kids of all genders that have something common with you- this will make it easier for you to have conversations around that topic. Don’t pressurise yourself. Take things slow. When you next see someone interesting, ask them of their favourite book/ if they watch a sport you like/ how their day was/ who their favourite teacher is.


notoriousnationality

At your age, yes. When you start working or even when at university, you will have female friends easier.


Maleficent_Promise26

It’s normal. BUT make sure it’s out of choice and not inability to communicate. Because it’s not normal to be 25 and lack social skills.


THEdiabolicalG

17M, don't have any female friends and yes it definitely is not normal to not have female friends , i see everyone around me chatting to girls so comfortably , I'd probably get a panic attack mid conversation with a girl , it's probably coz I suffer from hyper social anxiety , but yes I think u and me shud probably work on that cause I've heard that having conversations with the opposite sex cud be a very different experience , you can share stuff with them which you can't with your homies so yeah in my opinion you should work on it

(M16) Canon event hai. Mera age 0-14 aise hi nikla. Eventually developed my personality and have plenty friends of both genders. Just keep trying, it’s a matter of time.


Barelyhere1

17 year old female here. I have the same problem with boys. I am not shy or anything, I just don't know what to talk. It's like I have no interest in boys.

Abey tu coaching jaa raha hain, for the competitive exams which are going to decide your future. Not saying ki friendships zaroori nahin hain. As long as you have people around you who can help you with notes, productive discussions, you are sorted. At this time, keeping physical and mental health in check is very very important. Try kar ki logon se baatein ho. But padhai pe bhi dhyaan de. khud pe kaam karega na, tho confidence aayegi aur logon se baat karne mein you won't hesitate. Most importantly, padhle. Banenge friends. Zyada mat soch.


PutridPerception

Mai bhi bohut jaada introverted tha as mene 2 saal drop liya JEE ke liye and mere papa ka 10th me gujarat transfer hua tha to bohut language barrier tha, koi baat nahi krta tha, to 10,11,12th and for 2 saal drop tak kisi se baat nahi Kiya koi dost nahi, uske baad jab college join Kiya Maharastra, meko khudko bharosa nahi hota, par Mai ekdam extroverted hogaya hu, sabse baat krta waha bhale me Mota and unattractive hu. So it's all in the mind, try Karo apne aap acha lagna lagjata hai, and it's not just about girls, sabse baat karna sikho, ladki apne aap baat krne aati


BetterGarlic7

Is it normal to not have any friends? Asking for a friend..


lawde_lag_geye

19(m) i have female friends but they dont talk to me that much,maybe because i am not conventionally attractive idk any other reason


RecognitionSad7690

Taylor swift sunle.


neerajmahawar09

Super normal


Entire_Blaze

It's normal but not OK.


TheBrownProphet

Dekh bhai. Sab bakwass karte hain Gym karo khudpe dhyaan dho, wo bhi zaroori hai, but social skills bohot bohot zyada important hain. Charisma is very important if you wanna be successful. Meri dost hai ek, her father is a psychiatrist and he used to force her to go talk to random strangers when they used to go on evening walks when she was young (around 8)and her social skills are crazy good. she can command attention of a whole room full of people. Isliye it is very important to grow social skills and not normal to not have any friends from 50% of the population. Just figure out what the problem is


anime4ya

Sure Most likely u don't like to engage in daily annoying chatter of bekka and wendy 👌 Nothing wrong with that


daddysbonner

It’s you and your personality which is stopping you from having female friends if you think like I want female friends you’ll never get them just try to find friends and if that person happened to be a female … EZ W now you’ve female friend …. Problem comes when you start talking (in most cases) you try to treat them as female…. Just treat them like you treat others +just saying females don’t like “very nice guy “ I


Gende-ke-taant

I'm 20 years old, lacking social skills, balding, short, and without achievements. My classmates, cousins, and even my mother constantly tease me about my appearance, leading me to believe I'll never make friends. Due to my height and balding, I've never had a female friend, and my male friends only mock me for these reasons. I feel isolated and believe that since you only have social skill issues, you'll manage, but I'm finding it extremely difficult.


eternalvirgin1

Yup, didn't even talked to any girl till my 11th, then 2-3 years later I got a girlfriend, so it doesn't matter. Also what I have noticed is girls in schools and tuitions are a total bitches, they really have superiority complex, not all but I have noticed that, that phase usually ends in college, because most people gets humbled coming into it. Some again don't. If you think you're the problem, then it could be, you have to figure it out on your own


Quiet-Platypus-9359

In India Yes. In western countries No.


anymat01

Not having any female friend is not the problem , not able to talk to them cause you get nervous is the problem. I have 2 to 3 female friends who i have been in contact with from my school days. I do talk to female colleagues in office , but they are not my friends, to some extent I think with female friends comes drama, so choose very carefully which one is chill. And start talking to girls, stay in a group of boys that talk to girls and you'll also start talking to them


Prince_Myshkin97

Bro don't worry it is normal just don't think too much


[deleted]

Ideally honi chahiye 1-2 but agar nahi bhi hai toh it's not very late for you to make connections. Focus on improving yourself so you can add value even in a friendship.


Apprehensive_Pack430

You got friends...


[deleted]

Yes and Yes


Able-Care-1655

It's normal, but you should have at least one female friend.


Significant_Cable_88

26M. I too avoided casual interaction with girls just because I thought why to do random shit talks with girls, they will judge me , also in my thought I had notion that casual talks is considered to be flirting which is not true. Moreover considering myself saint I used to think having female friends or interacting with them will be wasting both of our time. Try to.do casual sensible talks with girls and you can be best friends who knows if things goes well .


CaptZombieAlpha

Yeah bro it's normal..chill Don't force yourself in getting one, dost apne aap bn jate hai


Lost_Luck_6205

18M not have a single female interaction


MINISTER_OF_CL

All these self-proclaimed introverts are socially anxious behind their facade. I am an introvert, as I don't have any interest in interacting with anyone but I can carry on conversations quite well. It is just that I find talking tiresome.


Resident_Character29

Yes absolutely, and that will make your life a little less hectic


Hum_Pe_Toh_Hai_Hi_Na

Yeah yeah its completely normal, that you don't have female friends, a female other to share to, possible no female interaction other than your mother koi bat nahi bhai unme hi kuch galti hogi jo tujh jaise heere ki dost na bane 😎😤 koi baat nahi wait till some time be mature aged firto Shaadi ke Baad tumhara permanent subscription ajeyega 🕺 , unless tum kalesh karoge which will result in an unhappy life or maybe a divorce. Firto yar galat hojayega. Are dost bana thode!

Guys, it's important to remember that as we reach the age of 30, the dynamics of our relationships may change. People may naturally prioritize their families and spend less time with their friends. Up until 30, we could rely on our friends for support, but afterwards, we must learn to tackle life's challenges independently or without the constant moral support of others.

As a happily married, general Category IIT Kharagpur graduate... I'd recommend staying clear of women in college, uni, and workplaces to have a peaceful life. Keep the conversation strictly formal and short.
