  • Episode 1: Join Mattie Westbrouck (‪@westbrouck‬) as they dive into Closet Talk, where each week they’ll share their intimate personal experiences with growing up, coming out, and embracing their identity. From sharing stories about being closeted in middle school, to mental health struggles in high school, to unpacking the queer experience with guest co-hosts, Mattie creates a space for the community to feel seen. In the very first episode, Mattie begins at the beginning with their first queer experiences in elementary and middle school. They talk about their first crush and not knowing what it was, feeling pressured to like boys and "picking" who they liked, hearing about gay people for the first time, and why Hayley Kiyoko has earned a spot in the Queer History hall of fame.

    Hey Mattie, when I grew up I always thought I liked boys but as I got older I started to get crushes on girls. I was only in middle school at the time and I didn't know what to do. When I saw you and watched this it helped me out. I wonder though, how do you tell someone that you like them without scaring them away?

    • @avalyn-j9r
      @avalyn-j9r ปีที่แล้ว

      theres really no way theyd probably be so scared theyd scream or something and the only reason u like girls now is bc of terrible videos like this

    so, in kindergarten, i met this girl who i'll call Charlie and she was my absolute best friend. i wanted to do absolutely everything with her. at the end of kindergarten, she told me she was moving and after that, i never saw her again. i never emotionally recovered from that because i never found someone like her. in first grade, i learned what a crush was and decided i had to have one. i picked a dude who i didnt really know and didnt care about whatsoever. i didnt realize that you could have a crush on a girl. i now realize that Charlie was my first actual crush.

    This reminded me of the time when I was in elementary school and my friend asked me who did I have a crush on? And in my head I'm like Crush? So I made up some guy that was in my class which I honestly didn't have a crush on and they always tried to get me to ask him out. But secretly my friend's best friend was the one that I had a crush on. That's when I came home and ask my mom if it was okay for girls to be with other girls.

    I have a little story Mattie! When I was in fourth grade (I’m 13 now lol) I watched SO MANY queer TikTok compilations on TH-cam (I didn’t have TikTok) and I started to think like “oh I relate to this but I’m not gay…” (spoiler alert: I was) but then I started to think about this girl in my class named Jessie and how I REALLY wanted to be around her ALL THE TIME and guess what! Now I’m a lesbian lmao so yea…

    Crush 1, I had in Kindergarten:Turned out to be dating
    Crush 2, That started in 1st and ended when starting 4th:Lost interest after meeting someone else
    Crush 3, Started in 4th until about ½ through 5th:Lost interest. Might still have a crush on them
    Currently questioning sexuality. I am female. I might be straight ally(Meaningg Im straight, but support the LGBTQ+ community. I think) or I might be Aromantic Asexual(No attraction of any kind) Leaning towards straight ally because I might still have feelings for Crush 3
