here’s a short summary: I’m a highschool student, who’s rather closed off to people who aren’t my friends (as most people are) The majority, if not all, of my friends are men. Of course I have no problem talking to women for school projects and I’ve had a few female friends in the past. However, I seriously get asked somewhat often if I’m gay because people claim they’ve never seen me talk to a girl. As a result, they try to force conversations, make jokes, or give me unwanted tips. I tell them I’m happy with my situation and the comments don’t really bother me, but why are they trying to force me into it? I understand that a lot of people are trying to get into their first relationship before they end highschool, but why are they trying to get me to do the same?
Perhaps that you give an impression of unhappiness and your friends have the feeling that they have to do something about it. Seeing that you talk mostly to male friends and that you don't have a great number of female friends, they have the feeling that they need to intervene and get you a little out of your shell.
It is up to you to tell them that you are perfectly okay the way it is and that you are not actively looking for conversations or relationships.
You may look a bit of an outsider to them.
