I don't like how when I was younger I felt like I needed to "fix" myself since there was obviously something wrong with me if I didn't like girls and had a few feelings about guys. I felt like if I tried just a little bit harder to like girls then it'd all click and I could be normal.
I dated a few girls but never really did anything than just be friends before breaking up because I would just feel terrible that I felt nothing towards them more than just wanting to be their friend. Can't really imagine how much of a dump that'd take on their self esteem and confidence.
And also there was one girl who, in hindsight even though I never actually did anything bad, I always kinda "loomed"? I guess? I looked up to her a whole lot because she was awesome, and also there was other stuff which made me really want to try be friends with her and possibly help, so yeah it was innocent enough on the surface.
But she never knew that. I don't think I ever actually came out and said something along the lines of "I heard that you were having issues with eating, I don't know if it's a nasty rumour, but if there is any truth to it I've been there and if you want someone neutral to talk to then you can if you feel comfortable". From her perspective I was some random creepy person she shared a few classes with that would try too hard to talk to her. Having dated guys and had to put up with some pretty terrible behaviour from guys who don't seem to back off when you want to, I can see how what I did, as innocent as it actually was, could have made her feel really uncomfortable and awful and I really don't like that.

But then again I'd happily erase my past 7 years of my life and do over because I feel repressing and running from who I actually was really messed me up, but that'll never happen.
