My life would be so much better. I would have had a more active social life, and it would have been easier for me to make friends during my teens and 20s. I was bullied a lot in high school for stuttering. I'm almost 28 and I've never had a girlfriend/relationship, I haven't even had my first kiss or been on a date/going out with anyone. Obviously, it's not because I didn't want to. Since 2009, when I was 11 years old and in my last year of elementary school. When I started noticing and becoming interested in women romantically and sexually (I was interested in and dreamed of having a girlfriend/relationship, experiencing my first kiss, having my first time, wanting to date/go out with someone, etc.) What young people normally do at that age: "Teenage dating" Experiencing their first date, first kiss, first time, first girlfriend in adolescence In fact, "my first crush" and "my first rejection" happened in the last year of elementary school I was interested in several women during my teens and 20s
