Female but not girly? Is this common?

There are so many women who feel the same way as you do. You just need to be patient and you'll find people who are more up to your standards. You don't have to be a lady to be a woman and you sure as hell don't have to fall in the gender conformities that people think is a young woman. Parents also seem to have different views from their children. Sure to them it may be easy to have uninteresting conversations with people you can't relate to but where's the fun in that? You don't have to talk to anybody if you don't feel like talking to them. You may get lonely at times and think, oh I can't make any decent friends like me but you're still young and you'll meet people who you'll eventually click with and talking to them will just seem so much easier. Don't listen to your parents or whoever tells you you need to be a certain way. Just be yourself and you'll soon see everything sort it self out and fall into the right places.

This is normal! Find some boys that are interested in the same things as you! There are many people that i have helped with this same problem! Good Luck -Lili

Totally cool. To be honest, most girls I know aren't actually interested in "feminine interests." So I guess you're just looking in the wrong places. Or you can befriend guys. I used to hate anything "girly", and so I just grew up with male friends and that's what I'm used to now. Since then I've gotten over most of my internalized misogyny, and I love flower crowns and pink. Still hate shopping, makeup, and gossiping about boys, though. Just do what you like and be confident in it and friends will come because your aura of awesome will attract them to you.

Its perfectly normal and a-ok to not like things that are tradionally female! :) I'm a girl and even I like things that aren't girly. For example, I really like violent video games and watching crime shows. But that doesn't make me any less human than you. You are normal and that's OK. (:
