girl help: I’m not good at being a girl. - Help.com

I’m not good at being a girl.

And I am one. I blame my mom for being sarcastic and almost a dike, but I’m really terrible at acting like me, a girl, a person.
I feel too masculine, not enough feminine. I feel like my entire personality was put in a blender set to ‘terror and confusion’. I usually don’t even know what I’m feeling.
And to top it all off, I am constantly, CONSTANTLY trying to sort myself out.
It’s awful. I only have hope for a better future cause I’m at the bottom of the barrel and I can’t give in cause then everyone would see how awful I am.
It’s a conundrum. I think.

Me either, I was raised by my father and I have four brothers. A masculine girl is still a girl. I have tried to figure out what kind of a person I am and what my likes and dislikes are as an individual. You don’t have to be a girly girl to be a good person. hope this helps.

My dad wasn’t around much cept on weekends where I mostly played alone or with a friend. I only had my mom. I guess that makes me a momma boy/girl. I’m only 19, still have ages before I die, hopefully. But sometimes I feel like I should have it already figured out. I’m almost done with my teenage years, yet I’ve totally missed out of so much of the average teen life.
I’m also pretty sure I’m always afraid. I’m not positive, cause sometimes I feel numb. I guess that’s a reflex for my fear… but I don’t know what to replace that reflex with.
I’m so introverted I’m painful to look at.

You have to be who you are. That’s all I can think to say. It doesn’t really matter what else is going on if your comfortable with it. I hear lots of girls say they are too girly, in fact.

BTW, checked you profile. My standing policy is that, until proven otherwise, anyone from California ABSOLUTELY ROCKS! Always happy to find other Californians.

I’m no good at being a girl myself but, then again, what with the beard and the testicles, maybe that isn’t such a big surprise…

Be yourself. That’s the first thing.
If you don’t do that, you’ll never be happy.

And if you ever meet anyone who doesn’t like you because of who you are, f***** ‘em. They’re not worth your time or effort.

my daughter is far from a girly girl, doesn’t like skirts or dresses, plays almost all sports she can get her hands on, as well as 30 lbs overweight and is currently a cheerleader, on yearbook committee, student council. i have instilled in her that she is not better than anyone else and they aren’t better than her. you have to believe in yourself in order for others to believe in you. people will take you as you are as long as you have compassion for their feelings and genuinely want to be a good friend. stop worrying about how you should be and just be you. do the things that you enjoy cuz in the end no one can live your life but you. your mom being almost a dike shouldn’t affect you cuz you are two different individuals. believe in yourself and in your dreams
