    Thank you for this. Crying, not crying :) Coming out at 36 after years of repression and its hard to be kind on yourself.

    kid me back then was literally like "the Undertale AU community is so cool i wish trans people were real" and then be intensely distressed and sad at night because i'm not literally my fursona that i put vaguely feminine traits into when designing over time.

    Yeah for me around 5th/6th grade i knew I liked dudes but I repressed and refused to admit it till I 18. Came out to my sis around that time then my mom found out when I was 20. After she knew and was cool with it then I was able to explore stuff. So I can def relate to the late bloomer stuff

    I knew I was attracted to guys when I was in kindergarten, but I grew up in a very religious fundamentalist Christian household. I tried to come out as Gay in middle school but was quickly told to pray the gay away and not tell anyone my "struggle". I did that until Junior year of college when I finally decided to slowly come out. I'm 28 now and within the last year I have discovered that in addition to being gay, I'm also aromantic. There is no expiration date on self-discovery.❤

      “There is no expiration on self discovery.” Beautifully said!

      @Ibalistic_hedge Yes you can be both. You can have sexual attraction but also not want to be in a relationship. Also children have crushes so, I have no clue what you're going on about there. If you don't understand something, you can just say that. But it's wild to feel so self-assured about someone elses experience. I hope that clarifies it for you. Have a happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈

      @Ibalistic_hedge I had a crush on my best friend in kindergarten. I also kissed a boy that same year. I'm not saying I fully understood what sexuality was when I was 6, but to act like people have no feelings until puberty is insane. I really don't feel like arguing with a stranger about my life experiences. Please find someone else to discuss this with further. ❤️

    I think you just made me realize I have OCD... The feeling of not being sure unless hard evidence is given and coming up with all these weird excuses internally especially with my own coming out story. It all makes sense now lol.

      Having that conversation with yourself is a great first step!
      I recommend reaching out and speaking with a mental health professional to push that conversation even further if you decide to pursue it!

      @Ibalistic_hedge This is literally restating what the person in the video experienced. Maybe i didnt phrase it right. Also been tested for autism, dont have it but never thought about OCD. Who knows, ill figure it out lol.

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience... I don't have OCD but I want to go for hrt and I'm so scared to change my mind in 30 years. I know it will make me really happy now but I don't know about the future me...
    I felt less alone with your story, new sub! Greetings from Mexico c:

    Im 20 and just found out I was bi and plan to come out at 21 so thanks for this video, it came out just when i needed it!

    Thank you for sharing this! I didn't admit to myself that I was bi until I was around 24 after years of repressing the fact I liked women. The denial was so strong in me that I turned down a girl I was actually attracted to and had flirted with when she asked me out when I was in high school. I even toyed with the idea I was bi for a while, but denied that too, because I thought I had to like "both" genders equally, when I knew I just had more attraction to men. I still sometimes float the idea that I might be pan, but for now, bi just fits me best.

    I literally just came out to a group of people that weren't online for the first time yesterday, so it's strange that this oddly specific video was recommended to me today. I'm taking it at as a sign and subscribing right now without even watching the video.
    Also for context I'm 21 and realized I was bisexual at 15, so I might be a late bloomer? I guess I am?
