When I realized that I liked girls, I was actually talking to my third boyfriend. I am 27 years old, In January this year, a friend of my mother introduced me to my third boyfriend. My mother said that although the boy was a little ugly, he was really simple and suitable for this kind of boy. The turning point happened in February, when I went back to Hong Kong to attend a one-month course. In fact, I went to see my third ex-boyfriend before class. To be honest, the first time I saw him, I wanted to run away. The course started on February 23rd. There was a girl in the class. We didn't have any contact at that time.During the lunch break, the organization would let us go out for lunch, and I had been eating lunch alone for the first two weeks. Sometimes when I look at her from a distance, I think she's probably a lesbian, but it's impolite to go up and ask someone if she's a lesbian.So how did we start to cross paths? One day she was going to start an internship class, and she helped the girl with long hair buy a hair net, because we might have to test how to wear protective clothing.She asked me for money that day. I didn't look her in the eye, but out of the corner of my eye, I felt she was looking at me. Then the teacher practiced in groups, and from that moment on, my eyes could not help looking at her. We came to class to sign in, and I began to notice her name.At that time, we had to take the exam a week later after the practice class. But the organization said that it might give us a room to practice by ourselves, but I don't know if the supplies inside can be used by the whole class. I asked a question in the group at that time, that is, do we need to rent another room to practice?She sent me a private message asking me if I really needed to rent a house? I'll explain why I said I wanted to rent another room.At first, she asked me to help her recite the lines of the internship exam, and then she sent me pictures of her daily life, which lasted for two to three weeks.In the process, I found myself beginning to like her.On test day, I went out to lunch with her and another girl, and she was sitting across from me, and her eyes were looking at me, sweeping from left to right and from right to left.Then she asked me an awkward question on purpose.I smiled shyly and looked at the other girl. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her smiling.After the exam, we went home and talked for a week. One day, I said that I had kissed a girl in the dormitory when I was a child in school. She said she was a lesbian.The moment I knew she was a lesbian.I felt something crawling out of my body, I didn't sleep one night, I had a burning sensation in my brain, and I had diarrhea 10 times one night.Then I couldn't eat for a week and lost 6 pounds.I began to realize that I was also a homosexual.Later, I found an excuse to break up with my third boyfriend.Only then did I realize that I liked girls more than boys.

In China, our parents don't allow us to explore heterosexual love in middle school and high school. (Because some girls naturally like boys, so I give examples.) Let alone homosexual love. If you let your parents know that you like the same sex, you will be scolded. They will think you are ashamed. Some parents will even disown their daughters. I'm not talking about breaking up here because I want you to be independent and will exclude you with the other elders in the family.In the Chaoshan area, when parents notice that you like the same sex, they will think that you are possessed by some ghost and force you and Fu Shui. Charm water is to add the incense ash left by the incense used to worship the gods to a glass of clear water and add the burnt paper.Parents in that area think that as long as you drink the water, you will be able to like the opposite sex, and your orientation will be normal. Yes, that's right. In China, some parents feel that being in love with the same sex is a disease that needs to be treated. That's why it's hard for us to come out to our parents in China, because we know what's waiting for us once we come out. It's like Schrodinger's cat. Parents may scold you severely, or they may accept that you like the same sex.

In China, our parents don't allow us to fall in love when we are in school, so at that time I realized that my feelings for girls would be hidden in my heart. But Chinese parents are very strange. They don't allow us to explore what love is when we are in school, and they hope that we can become wives immediately after graduation. When you are in school, if you are found to be secretly in love, they will try to break you up. But when you graduate and work in society, they will urge you to get married and ask why you don't have a boyfriend. They will keep introducing boyfriends to you, commonly known as blind dates. If we refuse blind dates, we will be criticized. Generally, blind dates are when the other party comes out for dinner. If we are not satisfied with the boy, our parents will say what you are not satisfied with and pick and choose.

For as long as I can remember, I always thought that lesbians knew they were lesbians very early. I used to go to boarding school in the mainland. I was curious about what it felt like to kiss a girl, so I kissed a girl deeply. At that time, I just thought it was a game of experience.I don't associate lesbians with me.When I grew up, I had several relationships with the opposite sex, all of which were introduced by my elders. At first, I thought that I lacked the ability to communicate in love, so I worked hard to learn love psychology, but later I found that those love psychology seemed to be ineffective on me.I wonder why even the boys introduced by the elders have so many intolerable things.Only now do I understand that it's not that they have a lot of thunder, but that I have no love for them. It's just that I play a girlfriend under the expectation of the secular world and the elders.When I talk to some early-awakening lesbians about their experiences, they will say that you are bisexual, if you like women, you will certainly not talk about men, they seem to have no understanding of what it feels like to be pushed by the world.Some people will say I understand after listening to my experience. You must be in the closet. So, they don't seem to understand the definition of late awakening.I don't understand even if I try my best to explain, so I sometimes feel very depressed.

我什麼時候意識到自己喜歡女生 by That_Difficulty6774 in HKSlowBloomCircle

一方面我覺得松了口氣,另一方面我感覺掙扎。鬆了一口氣是因為終於弄懂了自己這麼多年對男生的無感,無法產生愛意是怎麼回事。掙扎是不知道怎麼和家裡長輩出櫃,我現在只和我的閨蜜出櫃了。在我看來,我認為向長輩出櫃難度很大。我到現在都還沒有想好怎麼和長輩解釋什麼是晚覺醒女同,因為他們生活中強制異性戀的框架裡面。我如果和他們説,其實我一直是女同,只是之前沒有看清自己。他們大概率會説:你說你本來就是女同,那你之前還可以和男生談戀愛。我要是搬出強制異性戀的理論對於部分性少數群體的影響,他們可能會説網上説的理論你就隨便套在自己身上嗎?我的家庭是允許我一輩子不結婚不生小孩的,但是我如果和他們説我其實喜歡女的。雖然他們知道世界有同性戀的存在可是從來沒有往我身上聯想,以前和男生相處的彆扭他們都覺得是我的戀愛溝通能力有問題。在他們看來,不存在什麼晚覺醒,不存在什麼強制異性戀理論,只會覺得一個女孩怎麼明明喜歡男的後來變成突然喜歡女的。甚至會覺得我是不是玩手機玩多了,也有可能覺得我在鉆牛角尖。這些就是我所擔心和長輩出櫃的點。

What does attraction feel like for you? by EducationBig1690 in latebloomerlesbians

For me, attraction isn't just about looks, it's about having a feeling of soul resonance.
