Lately, I’ve been seeing all these girls dressing up in all pink with their girl friends to go watch Barbie and it seems like a wonderful bonding experience for some women. It’s making me feel incredibly depressed. I struggle so much with female friendships and seeing all this is just emphasizing how everyone seems to have this type of friendship but me. I tried reaching out to some girls I know in the friendship circles I’m in, but they had all already seen it or had plans to with their own girl friends.
I really want to see this movie, especially with all the talk around it, but I know if I go out to a theater and see everyone there with their friends in their coordinated outfits, I’m gonna break down in tears. I already know I’m missing out on so much by not having girl friends: no girls nights, no getting ready for events together, no deep late night conversations, whatever. I feel like I’m probably gonna dress up by myself and watch it alone on the couch…
I don’t get why female friendships are so hard for me. It feels like everyone has “their girls,” but I’m always an outsider. I’ve never really felt like a real girl. Anyway, this is just a rant now, but I’m just wondering if anyone else is seeing this alone too.
