Most of my threads in this forum feel like I'm just doing research, asking questions, but this one hit me while I was on the train back home today. Anyone here who identifies as an orientation other than heterosexual, did you see any sign before having figured it out? Before the obvious signs came, before you liked someone of the same sex and such. I've spoken to some people who had the idea that they were different years before realizing their sexuality, and the same goes with myself as well.
I thought I was very different, always thought that it was strange that I was straight when everything else was different about me. As well, it's mentionable that at a very young age, before I had my first "crush" on a guy, that I had the idea in my brain that guys were lucky because they got to date girls and I thought they were much prettier and more interesting than guys were (bear in mind, I was six or seven at the time). I've started to question the crush I had on a guy in my class in year four as well. What I remember was Valentine's Day, I gave him a special card, and my friends a different one. That's all I remember, but also remember giving one to a girl who wasn't in my class, wasn't friends with either, called Emma, and I had some interest in her for some reason. I don't know if that is at all significant either, but it was just a thought that came to mind.
Anything of the sorts you guys can recall? It would be interesting if a trend is evident.
