college housing: I currently live with my boyfriend and some of his guy friends, they do their own thing and have their own stuff going on, not particularly close with them and I like it like that. I will be living with two other women next year and I'm excited but very nervous. The dynamic between women's friendships is so detailed and intense and the wrong word or action can get you labelled as an undesirable friend. Not autistic or anything but my parents are shut-in's and I never learnt how I was supposed to act around other women. I am desperate for them to like me but I only know how to be friends with men and autistic women who don't care about things like slight deviations in tone of voice or the frequency of my bedroom door being open or not (interpreted as an indicator of sociability among women/women friendships). Any advice? maybe wrong place to ask since you're all probably not women but if I expressed this to another woman it would be a dead giveaway of weakness and women do not want to be friends with women who struggle with the form of communication specific to our sex. Am I overthinking this?
