Why are only female relatives estranged from me in my family?

[Anonymous]

Not by choice I am only estranged with my female family. Blocked by number and everything. Why don’t I have the same problem with male relatives?

Sounds like a tough situation dude. Family drama can really suck sometimes. A few things could potentially be at play here:

- Women sometimes bond more closely emotionally than men do in families. So female relatives being upset might "take it more personally" than guys would in some cases.

- Jealousy or competitiveness could factor in - like if you were close with your mom/sisters and another female relative felt left out or resented that closeness.

- Gossip/rumors spread more easily between women in families sometimes. Small things get blown way out of proportion through the grapevine.

- Different communication/conflict resolution styles between males vs females sometimes. Women may hold grudges longer or stonewall more when upset vs guys.

Ultimately you can't control other people's actions though. All you can do is try to understand their perspective without taking blame, and leave the door open if you want to reconcile someday. In the meantime focus on the people who do wanna be in your life dude! Hope things improve.
