Girls- do you get feel your not like the others?

i don't feel like all the other girls either.

I don't feel like other girls- particularly my friends. It's strange because they all see me as childish and 'innocent', they say it so much and it really annoys me.
I guess that I'm thought of as childish and innocent around guys- which is weird since I'm the only one in my friend group with a boyfriend, but all because I don't wear dresses-short ones without tights on underneath- or do my hair different or make immature jokes all the time, I don't get any respect.

But whenever I ask my parents about it, or anyone else, they say that I'm more mature than the others. How can I be mature and childish at the same time?

it's confusing

I grew up being friends with girls just like me and I didn't pay attention to any other person in school. Now that I'm college I actually realize how crazily different I am.

I can strongly relate to some people here who have said that they haven't got a feminine bone in their body. I don't really get on with girls, don't understand a lot of things, and don't see the point in makeup and nail varnish, but at the same time, every once in a while I do indulge a bit.

Some days I feel like wearing dresses and dying my hair and painting my nails, and being the epitome of femininity, but most of the time, I feel like shaving my head and skipping cosmetic things mentioned above. I can really relate to the people who are genderqueer. I feel like it's just a phase, since I'm still young, but there have been so many days where I've had nothing but resentment for being born female. I don't know, maybe in my case, I'll feel more feminine when I'm older, but at the minute I'm just enjoying being young and having freedom!

Is there anyone else out there who feels somewhat stuck in the middle? I have very little interest in makeup or nail polish, but I still do enjoy things like sewing, cooking and other hobbies which are considered a bit feminine. I don't like many sports ( I LOVE basketball, swimming etc. but football is not my thing) but I like some considered masculine things like video games, technology and things like farming, woodwork and metalwork.

I understand how you guys feel
