I sense that the friends were threatened by you talking with the men. It is not your problem. But if you want to socialize with them, then next time you can try to connect with the women.

I relate, imuru. It was hard for me to talk to other girls for a while and still can be. I've had this fear of being judged by them, etc. which is why. There was a girl who was really mean to me in highschool. I also have many interests and don't always connect because girls in society are brainwashed to be a certain way. I don't totally fit that box, however I feel like the most feminine person I know, not a tom boy.
Just know that if you want to connect with other girls, the non judgemental, really interesting ones are out there !
If you don't really care to, connecting with guys isn't wrong either
