Same here

We have a few similarities. I never had a real girlfriend, and I never had my first kiss. My mother pulled me out of the 9th grade, and then I was homeschooled. I wasn't compatible with the rest of my peers. Even at that time, I was showing signs of staying the same age. For example, I shaved my legs. In the 9th grade, people called me gay. A few years later, I tried to permanently removing my facial hair, which was really painful and it didn't actually work.

I was showing many other signs around the same time. I am really ticklish. Anytime someone tried to tickle me, it freaked me out. It made me really giggle. My sister even teased me once and said that I am a like a little boy (a miserable boy anyway).

I often hide the child inside me. Most of the time, I can blend in with the rest of the society without people noticing, but I don't like it.
