-my first time ever seeing porn was because a user named PayPal posted porn on the blogs page. it gave my computer a virus and Lowkey changed me :)
-I never even considered that being in a same sex relationship / romance was a real thing until an adult user told me it was and convinced me to try it because ' they knew I was gay even if I didn't know it yet':)
-I assumed that everyone in life had cam sex / sent dick pics as a minor because that was the norm :). It wasn't until years later that I found out every teenager did not in fact do that :)
-my ask.fm questions were filled with questions about my dick size, sexual history, underwear, foot size, weird stuff and I would answer it honestly :)
It wasn't like a super traumatizing experience for me at the time.. but I definitely think it shaped the way I see validation in relationships and friendships. I've honestly had to retrain my brain from thinking that sexual fulfillment for my partner's wants = love and that I HAVE to be loyal to my irl friends even when they are toxic, because that was the norm on tengaged
I had my first T-boyfriend who I still remain close to today. I had some amazing iconic friends and friend groups (Trenyce, Priv, CYA, Noobz, So many more)
WHILE there were some not so glamorous aspects of it, I have made some AMAZING friends, including my college roommate DK. I have gotten so cultured and aware of different backgrounds, nationalities, thought processes, and ways to show love that I would have never gotten otherwise. And met some of my absolute favorite people who have shaped my life in amazing ways. I have also been exposed to how nasty people can get for seemingly no benefit. It's definitely made me more cautious as an adult of who I trust with information.
So while my teenage years were definitely shaped in a strange way, I still have some great memories and would not be the person I am today without them. Hugs the real ones I've known for half my life!!!
