The lack of female connection/friendships is real. Career is also anxiety -inducing

I'm a female, and tbh I don't know why but sisterhood is something I never really experienced. I've tried to put myself out there, meet people outside of work, but almost all of them are men.

I feel really sad because I'm not doing well in my career/job too and I don't even have friends.

How did you create female connections? (As a female, outside of work)

hey @PatraniMacchi - This is very true and very valid, having it experienced myself and working in a team full of men and being only women myself in my team. So, I recently started engaging more in Women in tech events in my company and outside too/ attending women meetups during weekends etc. It felt like a breath of fresh air. You should try if you didn't yet. Worth giving a try. Also, please feel free to dm me to chat anytime /anything!

Women don't have friends, men don't have friends then who is having friends 🤷🏻

age 25-30 is weird right, everyone is in transition phase, getting married, having kids, switching jobs, moving to new cities or countries etc., so having good friends by side is kinda difficult or lucky and making deep connections as an adult is slightly challenging IMO or atleast for me!

Same, so I just graduated from a tier 1 college which I won’t name. I tried to build real female friendships. One backstabbed me I got to know later she bitched to random strangers about me (this was in the 1 year itself) and the second one just never prioritised me at all. I kept her on the top of my list while I was on the bottom for her. 😭😭 I have stopped believe in female friendships

Same. My female friendships, whenever I've had, have been so weird.
We've never openly talked about life and career

Once you left college and join any company you will see true colours of your friends

I think what you need to do is add a sport in your life. You can easily make some friends there. Join some groups for jogs or cycling.
As for sisterhood specifically, I think agar school/ college me koi friend mili toh fine else you would rarely see people making sisters at work since they have many other priorities in life. But yes, sports should do it for you.

Did you never find ANY girl you could match your vibe with? Did you not make ANY girl-friends in school or college? Are you an introvert? If yes, did you never try to put extra efforts into finding genuine female friends, and if yes, could you never identify who is genuine and who is fake? Did you never try to introspect why you are able to make friends with only men? Answers to these questions might help you identify if the problem is with YOU or the girls/women around you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yup. I think back in college the problem was with me too, but not anymore. But it's still hard

Try joining some hobby class which align with your interest like i do travel a lot so keep making new friends that's why .Feel free to ping ,i usually go office weekly once so if our location will be close and timing suits we can meet for coffee.

Because most girls are bitc... To each other's. Women genuinely fail is making connections because most of them never sacrifice for others.

Outside of work, I have two sisters and they're like my punching bags — I talk to them about everything. I can share anything with them. Besides them, most of the girls I’ve been friends with didn’t really stick around.
