How do you make friends with fellow girls in gaming world?

Well, I'm a woman myself in my mid 20s. I don't have anyone to truly call a "friend", more like acquaintance that I met every now and then, people come and goes.

I'm not a very gamer myself as I struggle with motion sickness so I tend to play more of a chill relaxing games than shooting games.

I get super nervous and don't know what to say another girl, I just freeze up. Compare to men, like I don't care about their gender and just see them as human which I really want to see women this way as well. Instead of constantly thinking that I need to impress and be likeable, I just wanna be chill.

How do you do that because everytime I try to make friends with a gamer girls, I make it awkward or get ignored. Help.
