Feeling different as a kid?

Did anyone ever feel different as a kid? I always felt different from the other kids but I never new why really. Lately I have been accepting the fact that I am gay, and it just occured to me that is why I felt different. So did anyone else feel different from the other kids when they were younger?

 

I dont think when i was younger i really thought it was different.. I mean going into junior high and stuff having girl friends, feeling nothing at all, just having a girl friend because thats what was expected...

 

Oh my word yes

Especially in Primary school (4-11 yrs old), extra tall extra early and timid, could never work out then why i was stuck in with the girls all the time rather than mixing with the boys, didnt work out till later it was all about their daddy issues

 

what do u mean extra early, and what do u mean by daddy issues

 

Hmm...I guess in some ways, yeah I did feel different but I'm uncertain as to whether it related to my sexuality or not. Could be though.

 

I remember 1st grade was the strongest when I was 5, I was twice the height of the girls and timid, that little dude amongst their peers most like a dad

 

Kinda how it was for me. I had all the gal friends, was taller than all the guys. Interesting times.

 

I never felt different no, but then didn't know anything of my sexuality.

I find I feel different and out of place now, as an openly gay person. Whether I acted differently or not as a kid made no difference, there was the naivety of youth.

And yes, like everyone I had all girl friends, apart from my best mate- a boy. He would be the earliest indication of my sexuality. I haven't seen him in over 10 years but swear there was something different (gay) about him, and I was smitten about it and clinged close to him. I think maybe having friends close like that helped with feeling normal. In fact, I am mostly sure he was as close to a first crush, yet for some reason I always felt it was natural.

I still wonder what they hell he is like these days, interested to see how fine tuned the ol' gaydar was at about 10..

 

i did but i have no idea if it had anything to do with my attraction to other girls or not
