"your sucha girl"

Im a male and for years ive been struggling to find who i am, everyone gets those right? Identity crisis? Im 19 now and i guess i found some pieces of the puzzle. I know some characteristics i want to aspire.

For quite some time now ive notice ive been getting alot of "your such a girl" from friends and family. I dont know if i should be insulted and try to change who i am or stand my ground and embrace myself.

i never had a father and my mom is mostly at work, neither a brother, so growing up i never had anyone to look up to. so i dont know, maybe thats why "im such a girl". And maybe they are right.. I can be pretty sensitive at times.
I try not to give a fuck, but it saddens me that i feel i cant fully express myself. Like there something wrong with who i am. Like they're telling me its wrong to be myself.

So i dont know maybe i just wanted to rant, or ask for an advice if there is one to be given. But if you read this far than thanks for your time.

    It's a difficult task, but you have to not let anyone else's expectations impact on how you behave. There's nothing girly about being sensitive sometimes, and anyone who patronises you for being sensitive is pretty close-minded.

    I don't see that it should be a bad thing to be 'such a girl',
    especially if there is no problem with a woman having figurative balls (by being courageous).

    Be who you want to be.

    Sorry. It just reminded me of that.

    Ahem! Well, you need to show them: I AM THE BOSS OF MYSELF! IF YOU DON'T LIKE HOW I AM, THEN I DON'T CARE! I'M MYSELF AND I CHOOSE WHAT I WANT TO BE AND WHAT I WANT TO DO.

    Hehe... Sorry about that, again. But anyways, like others said, be courageous and show how independent you can be.

    This is what you get when there's no father around.

      Are you speaking from experience or just out of your ass as usual?

      Well, I've read that people who spend time with their moms are more sensitive than the ones who spend time with their dad.

      I grew up with only my mom, and I'm pretty sensitive.
