Why am I more comfortable around men than women?

I can’t figure this out.

I feel way more comfortable interacting with men - that I know to be safe. Than I do women. I don’t mean like random people in the street but I mean when I’m meeting new people or the types of friends I’m close with.

When I am meeting new people - I am comfortable and excited to meet new guys. But when I have to meet a group of women or I am meeting my friends girl friends I am terrified and so stressed and change my outfit like 10 times and overthink everything. But meeting new guys I’m just chill and hanging out and myself around them. But don’t feel myself around new girls that I don’t know very well.

And then there’s touch.

I am not a hugger or into physical touch. But i am more comfortable hugging my guy friends than girl friends. I will lean on my guy friends, am ok if our legs are touching in the car or something, I will put my legs on the lap if we’re watching tv together or with a group. But hugging a girl or leaning on a girl or having a girl lean on my scares me. Even if it’s my sister vs my brother. Or cousins. I have amazing women around me and I don’t understand this.

I feel like a freak and I know I should maybe seek professional advice but until then I wanted to ask here and see if at the least some other girl relates. To add, I am a straight women so it doesn’t have to do with attraction or anything.
