I'm only just now coming to the conclusion that I may be gay. I remember, when I was around 8 or 9, my mother asking me if I liked boys. I told her yes, but that's because I was a tomboy and liked to play rough and get dirty with them so I don't think I fully understood the question at that time. Now a few boyfriends and bad relationships later, I'm realizing that I like the idea of being with a woman better. I feel I would have more of an emotional connection with them. I'm just more intrigued by them than a man. I'm coming to terms with this and am actually very hopeful and happy about my situation. I'm sure it will be a bit different when I decide to come out, but until then...
Well, I'm not really sure if I am gay or just convinced myself that I am, but that doesn't make any sense at all so... I've also never had any relationships to speak of, at all. That said I started wondering if I was gay at about 13/14, now I'm 15 and pretty sure I'm gay...
I figured out I was different my freshman year of high school, so 14 or 15 years old. That summer I had....stumbled upon gay porn and was utterly repulsed. It completely disgusted me...yet was so undeniably compelling...even then I had no idea what it really meant (I had an extremely sheltered childhood)...eventually I started to catch on and things started to click...
I first had the thoughts at about 12 years old. After on and off deciding if I was or wasn't, I have finally decided that I am "Not Straight".(Age 15)
I always had sneaking suspicious that I tried to ignore...but then I finally kissed my now girlfriend and I felt so happy and tingly inside. That was when I knew.
i always thought i was in my wayy younger years (like 4-7) i hated all sports (stil do) outdoors, everything boyish.. i had a barbie pool (my parents reluctantly got it) just like the OP lol. in the 10-13 years I understood what society "thought" of gay people and told myself i was straight. my "rock" was my older brothers friend who was exactly like me. then i found out he was gay then im like heck, im not going to lie to myself any more (age 14) now at 15 i am fully accepting myself, just scared what others will think
I remember coming out the day before my 13th birthday,(August) I turned bi then. It was just a little bit bi and progressed all the way to gay by november of the next year. This april, I turned bi again, because i liked a girl, and we dated for about 1.5 months. Now I'm bi, but I prefer guys, a lot.
I was like in 7th grade when i realized it, i was going to die before i ever admit it to myself or anyone. Rumors started, blah blah blah. So yeah it wasnt until my senior year in highschool that i just accepted that i was gay. I've come out to alot of people, not my parents yet tho. But yeah...6 years of fighting it gets exausting.
Well I had thoughts about boys and all that stuff since I was like 5, but I hid those feelings because I was already different enough when I was in Elementary school. Fast forward to middle school in my 7th grade year I had my first crush on a guy and it was on and off but I was still denying I was gay. Then my freshman year [December of 06] I couldn't really hold it any longer and I came out. Earlier that same year, the same guy I had a crush on in 7th grade came out and I started liking him, but he ended up being a jerk and started doing things that I didn't like, so I stopped having a crush on him around May.
I've been drawn to guys since elementary school, but I think I started thinking they were hot around 7th grade. Ninth grade was when I started to really consciously realize it, though. After about two years of trying to convince myself I had a crush on a couple of girls, I finally just admitted to myself that I was gay and couldn't change it right before I started my junior year of high school. That's when I started researching it on the Internet and when I started thinking about having to come out.
I've always known... I really just always have. When I found it what being gay means all I could think was, "Oh... So there's a word for it."
i had some majour clues when i was younger and just ignored them. It wasn't till i was 15 when i put them all together and figured out i was gay. I came out to my first kiss first then my now ex girlfriend and before my birthday came out to my mom.
I came out to myself in March, after breaking up with my boyfriend. I didn't like the idea of the manparts. Just.. I didn't want to see it, or touch it, or have it in me. That completely repulsed me.
Known I was gay since i was about 13, i had an unhealthy obsession with the ladies in charmed , still yet to accept it about myself even if I do identify myself as gay.
it was about sixth grade when i first started realzing i was different, i was starting to check out guys throughout middle school and thought it was some sort of "phase" but the "phase" never went away as i entered high school. haha. i dated girls and stuff to try and fit in. did nothing but make out with girls because i was never attracted to them, plus im always real kinda of freaked out, never knowing when another girl is gonna like me my firends tell me to go date this girl but i cant cuz im gay so i come up with excuses. i was always in denial about being gay and still kind of am which sux. being a football player and track star did not help the situation throughout high school. im 18 now just graduated. getting ready for college and want to come out. very nervous to see what happens with all my friends and stuff. plus theres a girl that likes me right now ive been talking to pretending to be straight still. really want to come out soon but afraid of the parents at the homestead. plus all the friends. not sure how they will react. but good luck to myself i guess haha
