Is this a common thing for females or people in general? I just feel like I'm consistent in my emotions and a bad day or being busy doesn't affect that. Any insight is welcomed.
Some people find it hard receiving affection.
I had been in an abusive relationship prior to my current GF and she was so affectionate and loving it really felt uncomfortable for me. She'd say wonderful things about me and all I could do was just kinda mumble or something in response.
Some people are just like that. Another friend of mine cant handle any affection verbally or any compliments. Just kinda awkwardly shuffles about.
Its different for different people, some people swing about and some people are consistent. On the other hand there could be something else entirely.

it's a her thing not a female thing. every human is different. talk to her about it again.
the most important part of any relationship is open honest communication. show her this thread if you want to, if not then just repeat what you've said as close to verbatim as you can. If she doesn't respond, gently encourage her. "In the past when I brought this up with you I feel like you weren't able to voice your opinion on the matter. Could you do that now, or is there anything else you have on your mind?"
Do you guys know your love languages? It sounds like she speaks a different love language than you, if you believe in that stuff.

Both our love languages are touch for primary and my second is verbal, hers is something else.
Thanks for the input man, I will take this into consideration.
