Liking someone as a kid

I remember when I was 6 or 7 years old I liked this girl a lot. I would go out of my way to make her mad and she always thought I hated her.

It was my first love. Now I think she was, at least trying to be friends with me. I don’t know how to describe that sensation back then: it was a struggle between what I deeply felt and how I expressed my emotions. It was confusing.

Did you do something simmilar as a kid?

I was the opposite when I was that age. There was a girl in my class that liked me and wanted to marry me but I thought girls were gross at that age lol

Loool did you ever tell him?

Or you were too shy? :sweat_smile: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :crazy_face:

I think I was too shy and succesfully annoyed her to make sure no one knew I had a crush on her :cry:

I had a crush on a young boy in primary school. Funnily enough 30 odd years later he became one of the first gay councillors for the authority here.

He made sure there were unisex toilets available for the trans community.

Sadly he died at 48, with a rare heart condition. He wasnt particulsry attractive with his beer belly and wild hair. But he had a heart of gold.

We did sort of date some years before.

yep, i had so many insecurities. I think this was because so did my friends, everyone was in survival mode, survival from not losing your status as a human being. There was so much fear based on the potential for humiliation. Some kids, me included fell into a trap of believing that they are unworthy of happiness and not entitled to anything good.
So if a completely nice girl liked me and I liked her back I would mess it up and eventually do something foolish because I thought that its safer that way.

I scolded a girl that was being nice to me, I secretly liked her, this was for touching me, wanting to give me a hug… I don’t know how to feel about it… haven’t had a gf but dated girls before!

Hi @dreamer54– I just wanna apologize for the dumb joke I posted in response to your comment above.

I think I was trying to bring a little levity and laughs to the situation, but it’s the internet, so some things just get lost in translation instead.

Just wanna acknowledge your post and feelings, and I sincerely apologize and hope you weren’t offended by my dumb and misguided attempt at humor.

No worries Tuna.

I know it’s good to let people know when you think you wrote something that could be misunderstood, especially on the internet :+1:t4:

But honestly, it was a good joke. I was thinking that it was more like a “reverse jedi mind trick”, which is pretty dumb lol (I did the mind trick wrong and end up doing it to myself). Which is fair for a 7 years old lol.

Btw, I learned along the way that making your romantic interest purposely angry, just because you are too shy to declare one’s interest is how it should not be done :sweat_smile: but I find it funny nowadays.
