One of the boys

I'm sixteen. I'm pretty average looking.
I don't like most girls. I hate Drama and I hate Gossip.
So I've hung out with guys for most of my life.
I live with my Grandparents and my two uncles. One Is 17 and one is 18 (yess I know my familys messed)
So now I'm around even more guys. Cause their friends are always over.. and my uncles get kind of annoyed that im always hanging with thir friends..especially casue some are older. (''you're a 16 year old girl who hangs out with 20 year old guys'' was a quote that came up at one point)
So over the years.. yeah I dress feminine and I've gotten my fair share of guys.. but whenever there are other girls AND guys around.. I feel like an outcast, like I don't compare casue im not as girly.
It jsut reminds me that I have no posture, I swear a lot, and stuff like that
How can I be more feminine and make more friends who are girls instead of always being one of the boys? I love my guy friends.. my uncles make a lot of sense

yeah, I dont have a lot of good girl friends either.

um, well to be more feminine you can fix your posture and not talk crudely- if you feel like an outcast then figure out what makes you feel like that, and decide whether its worth it that much to you to change it or not. wear hair accessories, that often makes you feel more girly.

but bear in mind that if you decide not to swear in mixed company you will have to not swear at all, otherwise you'll get a rep for acting different around different people, and that never works to your advantage.

I don't think you can do much about your uncles, just explain that you dont have anyone else ot hang out with or that theyre your friends too, or whatever fits your situation. whatever you do, DONT GET INTO A SCREAMING MATCH!!! it just makes them think you are being immature.

mostly, apart from that, try to retain most of what makes you you, and don't be afraid to work your way into the conversation with a few remarks. don't interrupt anyone, and be a good listener. people luv good listeners. plus act, not stuck up, but act confident, like there's no reason anyone should hate you or not want you around. if they can't take you on your own terms, then what does that say about them?

okay, I realise that it will be way harder to do this than to read it, but just remember: if you screw up, like swear or slouch, or something you didn't want to do, just keep your head held high, and get over your mistakes.

God bless,

Dont be someone your not just to fit in, the guys seem to like you the way you are.
Your uncles just want time with there friends without you, do you blame them?
would you want them hanging out with you and you boyfriend all the time (if you have/had one) ...probably not.
If you change then you'll be like the girls you hate.
Why do that to yourself?
Just be who you are besides in my opinion guys like girls that can be one with the guys!!
Just give your uncles space and find your own group of guys to hang out with, sure you can still hang with your incles and theyre friends but limit it don't do it so often.
I wish you luck!! GoodLuck!!

Im like you im a huge tomboy and hate all those "OMG I broke a nail" people (no offense to anyone) I dont have a whole lot of friends guys or girls. But BE YOURSELF dont fake it to fit into a crowd you dont want to be with or dont like. There is other girls out there that arent so girly you just have to look hard for them
