I'm 26 years old, college degree and employed full time in a long term relationship with a straight cisgender man. I've been feeling socially pretty lost for a while now because I find it difficult to form connections with other women. I get along well with men, but feel like there are emotional and mental levels that they can't connect with me on. And while I have positive professional relationships with my work colleagues who are mostly women, I feel that I haven't really been able to make true friendships. I'm not very socially awkward or introverted, just not always sure the best way to interact with other women on a level beyond pleasantries.

I'm hoping to find other women out there who would be interested in friendship and could help me better understand the things that maybe I missed out on having not grown up or being socialized as a woman. I hope this doesn't sound to scientific or ignorant. I also have no idea really how this all comes across and maybe I'm making myself vulnerable here, but I figure its worth a shot.
