This reminds me of my own experience in Junior High. I was a misfit amount misfits because I understood the difference from fantasy and reality. I had my Yami-Kami-Neko princess demon thing, but I knew it was just a character. I also grew out of that. My experience isn't really noteworthy, because I managed to stay away from the crazy-crazies.

I remember reading about a similar theory in a Scientific American in my childhood. Where they compared it to a foaming pint of beer, and each bubble was an alternate universe.

I knew someone who latched onto Squall from FF8 as her obsession. She'd write self-insert fanfiction where he falls in love with her. He acted like a perfect romantic prince, with some other very non-Squall trait that escapes me now. At the time I knew enough about the game to know a little about his personality (at least at the beginning of the game) and I told her how he acted in-game. She got annoyed at me for telling her that her interpretation of him was wrong.

I knew someone who claimed to be pansexual, and loved the porn. She, being overweight and socially inept, never had been on a date. Though I believe she lived in a rural area to boot, and that one of the few reasonable things about this story. When she went to college, she met a guy that actually wanted to date her, and later tried to have sex with her. While I only heard her end of the story, it wasn't rape, just her being... her. She did eventually break up with him, in a huge poof of drama. Later on, she's still drawing dicks and anthros but now she's 'asexual'. I completely understand true asexuality (used to think I was asexual myself, and researched it) but I think she's just using it as an excuse. I also knew of another girl who wanted to be called by male pronouns, but that was just a phase. She probably did it because she refused to pretty herself up, and had androgynous features to begin with. Acted like a poorly written gay guy in a sitcom. Again, this was just an attention whoring phase, not truely feeling androgynous. I know a few people who are, or at least genderfuck, and it's totally different... and last more than a couple of months.

Count me in the tally of other socially awkward girls that went through a strange boyish phase. I was physically an "early bloomer" and hit puberty early and quickly. I had my first period two months before my 11th birthday, and I was wearing adult sized clothing about then too. My interests were--still are--tomboyish and actually kind of all over the place. I liked video games, math/science and intellectual things while many other girls my age were just starting to like boys, makeup and idk whatever else 12 year old girls like. I went through a period where I hated my body, and felt like I wasn't a real girl. Hated dealing with girl culture, hated my woman-like body while many of my peers were very girl-like. I felt like instead of being atypical (or not-stereotypical) girl I was some weird freak. Now I'm happy with being a woman and identify as a woman. I still have issues, but I'm dealing with them in a better situation. Everyone called me a late bloomer for not liking boys even in Grades 9~12ish, even though I don't understand why anyone would like their peers in those age groups. Felt like a misfit because I never had a "crush" on any of the boys at school and made me wonder for a long time if I was asexual. I'm finding out now that no, I wasn't asexual, or aromantic or whatever... Just didn't know anyone that I wanted to date ever until recently. I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one that had similar experiences with gender identity, it's comforting.

nonconsensualninja posted:It got me at ten, too. I went from nothing to a B-cup overnight. It was horrifying, and the girls at school didn't help, demanding that I "prove they're real." Ugh. I can't exactly remember what cup size I was in Grades 5 and 6, but I do remember being teased in Gym class when I would forget my bra and have to run. I was probably a B or C cup in that time frame. Though on the sorta-plus, strangers thought I was 2~3 years older than I was all he time, and treated me with a bit more respect. Though I was always a quiet and well-behaved kid, so it was easy to get grown-ups to be nice to me.
