This is what I think

It's nice you have friends who care about you but it's your life not theirs!!! Just let them know that in a respectful manner. You have to learn stuff on your own. And if they get mad at you for that then that means you need better friends. But if they are your true friend they will understand! I hope I helped! message me if you need anymore advice!

You need to sit them down and talk to them. They're not going to stop their behavior if you don't talk to them about it.

Tell them that you appreciate the fact that they care so much about you that they want to protect you from getting hurt, but sometimes their protection can be too much and that you feel like you can't breathe or do anything because they'll be there to look down on it.

Tell them that sometimes too much protection can keep you from making valuable mistakes and that it can keep you from learning things for yourself. It's nice to be protected and cared about, but if it's holding you back from doing the things you really want to do, then you need to speak up.

Just talk to them and tell them that although you love spending time with them, you get on really well with guys as you find them easier to bond with. Explain that you can have more than one group of friends. But if they annoy you that much then maybe it would be best for both of you if you made a new friendship group? Don't take good friends for granted. Good luck x

They are probably jealous because they might not have that special connection with the guys like you do...I think you should try to hook each of them up with someone to get to know or just introduce them to the guys to make them feel comfortable around them...good luck hope I helped.
