do you ever look back on your childhood and see your attractions to the same sex? i on occasion will remember things about my childhood from when i was like 5 years old and notice little things that at the time i did not pick up on but now realized i had a crush. for example, today i remembered back to when i was in the first grade and there was this really cute boy that i kept wanting to get close to, and to talk to and i was really shy around and about. i wanted to be his friend so bad. this is the first time in years that, that memory came to my head and now i realized that i had a crush on him. like, it was a pretty obsessive crush too lol :icon_redf does anyone else have early memory of things like this that you now realize was a crush? i just find it funny how i can literaly look that far back in my life and see my gayness :lol:
I'm with XenaxGabby on this. I wasn't aware of anything like that back then; in fact, as I've made note of before, I didn't really see anyone beyond a platonic sense back then. What's funny though is that I can look at pics(both old and new) of people I went to school with, etc. and, particularly the ones who look practically the same, I have my 'how the HELL did I not realize this shit sooner?!' moments.
Very sporadically over the years before hitting puberty, I subconsciously looked at other boys I liked the look of. It wasn't something that happened often, but it happened occasionally during school. I also remember liking some girls until I turned 7, then it just didn't happen again lol.
well, I do remember that most of my fictional character crushes were girls... (i.e. Pokemon's May, Cardcaptor Sakura, Kim Possible...)
I can remember being about nine or ten and realising how good looking some boys in my class were. I never looked at girls and thought "wow she's pretty", which was strange to me because I always wanted to have friends that were girls. In fact, growing up the majority of my friends were girls. I just didn't feel comfortable around other boys.
Like wolfy1, I can recall finding certain guys attractive at a young age. I was really nervous to approach them so I didn't. I had smaller crushes on girls throughout all of elementary, middle, and high school, but they didn't compare to the ones I had for guys. This led to a lot of confusion but I'm pretty sure I've got it all sorted out now for the most part.
Yeah all the time. Like how could I not have known I might be gay someday. I would jealous in elementary school if a guy hugged another guy friend and did not hug me. Not to stereotype but I hated sports and played with barbies long before I knew I was. Ironically though it was a baseball game where I saw a gay couple which caused me to explore my attraction. I did not realize how strong my attraction was until I got older.
I remember when I was like 6-7 yrs old, I had this feeling towards men. I even thought of asking my dad if why I get boners when seeing topless men, GOOD THING I didnt ask that! But I also had attraction to girls when I was little. I was really confused at that time.
