[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m that woman who never got along with other girls. I was bullied and picked upon and subjected to so many mean girl antics. I am now wary of women and keep my distance. I’ve realized that [b]maybe I contributed to this toxic dynamic[/b] and want to make female friends. How do I become a better female friend? [/quote]

Don't be hard on yourself.  I look back at times in my life when I was bullied and subjected to mean girl antics.  The toxicity pulls you in.  It becomes about survival.  That's the worst part about cliques like that: you lose yourself and find yourself behaving in ways you don't like just to survive.  And that's in part what the mean girls are trying to achieve.

The PPs who are giving you are hard time probably have never been bullied by other girls/women.  It's horrible.  [b]No man has ever hurt me the way women have.[/b]  [/quote]

This a 100%. Me too.[/quote]

My cheating X is the one guy who has ever hurt me deeply..compared to several women including and starting with my own mother. She broke me in to being a doormat so all the rest of the Mean Girls could wipe their feet on me.

Luckliy my therapist is nice. And I have managed to get some good female friends over the years. You just have to find your Tribe.

What are you interests and hobbies? Joining a group with a shared interest is a great way to meet people.[/quote]
