How old were you when you knew you were Different?

[lenon01]

Very young. I used to crush on the Chip teapot from Beauty and the Beast, hahaha....  

[G l2 4 V 3]

Young.

I remember having a crush on my then best friend, but at the time I didn't know about sexualities and such. I just knew I enjoyed his company a lot.

It was only when I realised I had very little to no interest in girls that I wondered what was "wrong" with me.
Obviously now, I see there's nothing wrong with me but at the time the guy friends I had all liked girls and I was the only one that I knew of who didn't.

Anyway, in answer to your question I was young.

When I was 11 I was bisexual since I liked girls and boys at the time then I started liking girls more and more and by 12 I came out to myself that I was a lesbian.
Now, I'm going to be 15 soon and I am out to everyone in my school and most of my family (:

In Junior High. Whatever age that was. I dunno. Girls I knew started talking about guys and dating at that point and I just thought, "why the ******** would you do that?". I didn't understand why everyone was suddenly so interested in guys. So for a while I just went along with it and commented on how hot some guy was because I just figured if I acted like I knew what the hell was going on I'd get it eventually. Which y'know, worked terribly. In high school I finally figured out what was going on with me and came out as a lesbian. And I felt so much better.

Of course in college I had the realization that maybe some guys are kind of alright. And then I crushed so hard on a guy. Who was really incredibly gay. But whatever. So I finally figured out that while yeah I really really like other girls, I'm not opposed to men either or anyone else. I like who I like and ******** their gender.

Middle school! I was (and still am) very sheltered from the world, and when I was younger, I never really noticed people in the crush/romantic type. Anyhow, when I was in eighth grade, I started noticing the people around me in the romantic context - I thought I was heterosexual since that was the norm.

Although I thought the "straight business" was a done deal, I was struggling to explain why labeling myself as "straight" felt weird... It dawned on me one year later when I noticed that I had crushes on females too.

So yea. When did I know for sure? Just last year when I was fourteen! ^_^

When I was really little, like maybe 8 years ago, (I'm 17 currently), I got my best friend who I have had in my life for 8 years. We are still friends, and she was my first crush. Well, girl crush. We were both being raised as straight Christians, but we knew we liked each other. I've known since then that I liked girls, and tried to deny that I even looked at another girl that way. I finally admitted to myself, and anybody who asked, that I am a lesbian, and proud, when I was 15 or 16. But I've known secretly deep down inside for about almost all my life really.

Around age 14 is when I noticed something was different. It wasn't until I was 18 that I understood a bit more with what that something was. And even now at age 23, I feel like I'm still a little confused about myself.  

[KChan_Nihon]

I knew I was different by about 7th or 8th grade, but didn't fully realize what was different until freshman year in high school... 3nodding
In a way, in 8th grade I kinda tried to deny to myself that I was different

 

[CrazyKidd22]

even with all the crossdressing and girly things i did i didnt feel that diffrent but about a few years i had a dream and i thought i might have been gay but then i crushed on a girl so i knew that wasnt true so i thought i was bi but i never really looked for guys so at 23 i figured out that i was pansexual just cause the idea of being with a guy or a girl didnt bother me.  

[GrimeasaurusRex_]

I was in 7th grade, I think.
I had been best friends with a girl that had moved into my neighborhood. I hd loved her as a best friend but then I started to realize it was a bit more than that. One day, I had went over to her house and she just kissed me. I didn't mind it and I kised back. And it was at that exact moment that I knew I was bi. I currently have a boyfriend and don't lust after any girls, or guys for that matter. But, I do still find women sexually attractive.  

[Jaxinc]

At some point in my teens, probably 15 or 16 when i realized I had zero interest in either gender.

how old were you, and how did u come to realise that you were Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Or trans-sexual, or anything else.

Twelve or thirteen. I always knew I was different from everyone else, though. Always have been...  

[Hugel]

I'm a 23 female and I still don't know what I am. I just know I don't see men as romantic partners, but at the same time I don't see myself with a woman either, even though women in gentlemen's cloths really gets my heart pounding.

.....
And yet... almost every week I desire snuggling, I get lonely.
I think asexual fits, but I'm not entirely sure.



Though I have to say when I was about 16 I figured out that I just didn't see what my girlfriends saw when they were gushing over guys. Or what people said when girls were "hot". Every answer to "hot or not?" was... "eh... they're ok, I guess."

11 years of age C:
But i didn't accept it till i was 13  

[Raeiko]

ever since I can remember I can blame SailorMoon for that I always thought the sailor scouts were hot but I was in denial till about 12 or 13 when two of my former close friends who I had a crush on cameout and then I sat there trying to make sense of it all then i was lost deep in thought when i came to i realized I liked girls allot! emotion_jawdrop emotion_kirakira emotion_bigheart emotion_bigheart emotion_bigheart but I was bi then. Ive had 6 boyfriends growing up and all of them horrible I was repulsed by there slightest touch, but as I got older I started to like girls more and more now I believe I am a lesbian and I believe I have been since the age of 14 I am 20 years old now ,and some guys I may be like oh they have a nice bod but I would never touch I go crazy over girls I love them and it just feels right being with one. emotion_yatta
