Is it normal to be annoyed by being surrounded by the opposite sex a lot?
For some background, I’m a 20 year old guy. My dad died when I was a baby, I have no brothers, my dad’s parents are also dead, and my grandpa died last year and my grandma moved in. To top it all off I’m the youngest, plus usually the only other kids who would come over were my sister’s friends, who, you guessed it, were all female. Only once in a while would I have any male friend over, more often I’d be at their house. But all of this friends being over more or less stopped by 2013.
But to make things even worse it usually seemed like there were more girls in my classes than boys (although not always). And even on tv there were a lot of shows with a female lead (we mostly watched Disney Channel and Nickelodeon in the 2000s. I would keep it a secret that I liked shows like Hannah Montana, but I would usually prefer shows with a male lead). I would also avoid movies with a female main character, the only one I think I liked was Wizard of Oz. But for some reason even now when I watch something I get an odd satisfaction when there’s more guys than girls in the main cast, and I sometimes wish my real life was more like that, but maybe that’s wrong to think that.
In all honesty though I wouldn’t blame someone in the inverse, if they were a girl surrounded by guys all the time (I think I remember a behind the scenes feature of Harry Potter where Emma Watson said this. I probably watch too much tv and movies). But it’s not like I hate women, but it gets uncomfortable when you’re the only one with a certain characteristic wherever you are. It’s gotten to a point where instead of being confused of how to interact with girls, I’m almost confused how to interact with guys (I’m not gay just FYI), and I’ve always felt that I wasn’t like other guys, as I’ve never liked fart jokes or have been into sports or anything like that.
Idk what I’m even getting at here, I guess it’s sort of like a passive aggressive rant, but does anyone else feel this way?
