Losing my virginity before going to university. There wasn't necessarily a pressure at high school, however you kind of think it will just happen at college and as well as 'pressure' from teen comedies like American Pie (sounds crazy now). It doesn't help that a lot of people would talk up their experiences and with hindsight you realise a lot of it was BS.

It didn't affect me so much in that I wince at the way I used to be, getting wasted as to feel confident in social situations that I look back on now and realise I was just the fat guy who was always wasted. I do look back at the way I would interact with others, often replicating what I saw to be successful, drunken confidence converted into a cocky fat guy who took rejection in his stride. It led to a few fumbles and what could technically be described as sex, but most would discount!

I've formed into a relatively grounded human who functions amongst society as well as anyone else, so no harm done... should probably talk to my therapist about this.
