That post spoke to me. Thank you! I am 25 too and only had one relationshipin my teenage years. I learned that I'm much more into women but I never kissed anyone since we split up with 18. I feel like there is so much more for me to experience. But its hard because I'm shy and mostly introvert 😐 Hope are you? I like your blog!
No worries! To add to that post: I have had zero relationships/dates, personally, because I have severe social anxiety and I was a really REALLY gross teenager. lol And I’d like to normalize The Struggle of the gay ugly ducklings.
I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that none of that is really my fault. I was just really awkward as a teenager and my mom “forbade” me from dating until I was in university, and she is lucky I was a nasty little baby dyke because I was a rebellious little asshat too and was after any tail I could get. And I did it so poorly too. I don’t fault her for it, she was going through it with my dad and their divorce, so she was all heartbroken and overprotective. She also just let me be really gross, which like… kudos to her for letting me express myself, but she maybe should have said something about the dog collar and 2XL shirts on my medium sized body I was wearing. God, and the cargo pants.
I only realized how gross I was in my 20s and did one of those “over the summer” transformations where I got in shape and changed my whole wardrobe after I’d gotten turned down by one too many girls I asked out. Honestly, that whole summer was just a gay training montage.
Plus, I’ve always been so busy getting ahead career-wise that my personal life took a backseat for years. And the cherry on top is that I had a mental breakdown after college that I’ve only really now recovered from. So yeah, I’m FINALLY in a dateable form. Because nobody should have smooched anime club president teenager Eevachu, she was also kind of a Terrible Person, personality wise. LOL
