Title: Fitting in with teenage boys?
Post by: Cody Jensen on November 26, 2011, 09:56:54 PM
Do you think it's weird? I do feel a bit tomboyish, and since I will look like a teenage boy myself before I start T, it makes sense to me that I should feel like I fit in with teenage boys. But yeah, do you think it's weird?  :-\

I would think if I did it it would be wierd only cause I'm 33. I think if you're close in age its fine. Plus its kinda like being one when we all start T anyways.

Never gave much thought about it actually, I just thought it might be weird because some of us are sort of mentally older than them.

Aren't you a teenage boy?
Teens fitting in with other teens seems perfectly normal to me.

I dont think its wierd but for myself I must say I in general dosen't fit in so much with tennegers as many others do,
specially not guys.
The reason is I feel I am way to diffrent to them to be conected, I have another past than they have, other experience, and I feel way out and proud where most teeneger guys are pretty steryptypical or in the closet.

I get you here. I definitey know what you mean. I'm always terrified of coming out to my friends. They can be quite homophobiac at times. But my best friend especially, I know they aren't real friends if that's what they think, but she has been a sister to me when my own sister wasn't there for me. Letting go of her will be hard.

I am usunally out to people I hang around but still I often feel all the steryotyping kinda put me down,
even if I am accepted as male I should be this pretty maculine guy which im not..

I do have teen friends who are guys I like,
but I generally dont fit well with people who are scared of anything diffrent.

I fit in with teenage boys pretty well. Doesn't really strike me as odd for some reason.  ;)

Thing is, I'm not even comfortable with myself being different.  :-\ I'm working on it, but a lot of times I feel like I belong on the Island of misfit toys.

I'm 20 and feel like I fit in with teenage boys. My friend tells me I'm like a fourteen year old boy, lol. But yeah the two guy friends I talk to the most are sixteen and eighteen. I think it's normal since we're yet to go through the correct puberty, and even when we do we're just starting it so we're pretty much in line with them. Idk I don't really feel weird about it, it's how I'm comfortable and they're cool with it so whatever.
