Growing up I was taught that being feminine or main stream was to be frowned upon, so I always wore baggy shirts and dirty jeans. Never brushed my hair, hardly showered, a lot of people mistook me for being homeless. I have a particular cringe memory where in third grade my teacher said "Stop writing stuff like 'I like ice cream because it tastes like tacos, it makes no sense and isn't funny." and that made me wise up to my "XD so random!" Part of my "not like other girls" phase was cringe. Also figuring out I was attracted to other girls helped me realize that girls are nice, and so is taking care of yourself. Still building good hygiene habits to this day and trying do develop a nice clothing style.

Not cringe, but a woman I know is into poetry, isn't insecure about her looks and hates society, is absolutely badass, goes jogging with snow on the streets, with only a shirt on, barefoot, and she's the most understanding person I ever met. And now confession time: I think i am falling in love right now. Update: I have started a joke religion with her now and it's absolutely hilarious. Update: I randomly started a conversation about pizza with her when I showed her some photos from a new year's eve party. Maybe we will go out and get some pizza soon. Update: We recently started talking about our mental illnesses and trauma more as we are both very interested in psychology. Usually that's a massive nope, but she is actually interested in that stuff. I can literally even trust her with THAT. Update: More random wholesome cat video spam. Update: The spam of cat memes kllled the joke religion. Rip cat-holicism Update: She unironically likes pizza with apple slices on it. Sounds weird af, but her local pizza place does a lot of weird stuff, even a crust filled with cheese. She assured me it's good so maybe that's not another pineapple disaster after all. Update: We will probably just remain friends on long distance. She's absolutely badass, and perfect to talk to about anything, but I guess it just wouldn't really work out. But I still have her in my life, just in another way. I am not even that sad right now, actually. Update: She just took a break from Instagram for a few weeks. Update: Love chat is temporary. Cat videos are eternal.

My "not like other girls" phase was being completely anti girly. I hated pink, anything cute (except animals), judged /mocked other girls for trying to be "cute" around there bf. I truly viewed being female as weak, so I wanted nothing to do with it. My bad haircut and the clothes I wore, ppl often mistook me for a guy. It wasn't until I saw a really hot waiter and he called me sir did I start to chill out and realize being feminine isn't weak.

[@turinturambar347]

Being feminine isn't and has never been weak. Sure, women in general do not hold the same physical strength as men, but there are many kinds of strength, and women are strong in many ways. Being feminine has many bonuses to society and yourself. Whether you want to be the girl boss who heads a startup or you want to nurture the next generation or take care of the elderly or work at a preschool. I mean, you do you. That's the way it should be. If you're feminine, embrace it and nevermind the haters. Same to those who are masculine.

[@yukiandkanamekuran]

Honestly,, it helps knowing that people do like the same things you do and feel similarly to you. Like, when I was a teenager and I wanted so badly to be like the cool emo/scene predecessors, but to also connect with my girly cute style, it was hard to find out the right subculture for me. Fast forward to now, when I'm 24 and most people like the things that I like, like anime, creepy cute aesthetics, internet nostalgia, etc etc. I'm saying that we are all in the same boat. Not to mention, the people you go to school with are often the people you're forced to go to school with, people you make friends with out of convenience. Of course you're not going to mesh well with them. You'll find that people are much more similar to you than you think. Also, Billie Eilish is not basic, she's just really famous, but if you want some music recommendations of unique and cool artists, I recommend 4s4ki, AViVA, Mili, 8485, Bella Poarch (she's popular too but I love her song Living Hell), Ellise, Nano, Elliot Lee, The Crane Wives, and Shinigami. I know a ton more, but that should get you interested. You don't need to listen to what everyone else listens to if you really don't like it, there's too many music artists out there for that.

[@veronicaallen88]

It’s a good thing when you want your favorite indie bands to get the recognition they deserve. They’ve worked hard on their music, and you don’t “own” their sound because no one else has heard of them yet 😂 Believe me, I’ve been trapped in that mindset before.

In third grade this girl I sat next to in class became really close with me because we "weren't like other girls" (we were the only girls in our very small class that liked HTTYD at the time). Literally our only discourse was talking about how "quirky" we were and how we were so much smarter and better than everyone else. Honestly, we were the most toxic shits. When our classes changed, we stopped talking to each other as much and literal years later when I bumped into her again she was still in that horrible "not like other girls" phase in the sense that she shit-talked every girl that walked by. It was actually embarrassing watching it and most people, myself included, began to back off because it was weird and uncomfortable. She didn't seem to realise that but I hope she has now. I'm honestly so humiliated at the fact that I was once like that but at least it was when I was a little kid and before I had internet access. Thank God those habits haven't carried over.

I’ve had so many friends like this. 1st one we’ll call Amy. Known her since we where practically babies. We applied to the same program in Uni and decided to live together. She spent most of her free time watching anime or “playing” on her computer, mostly she just talked to guys online. I always cringed when I heard the pitch of her voice change so suddenly to innocent and high when she talked to boys. She called herself “one of the boys” and “gamer-girl”). Amy also wore band-shirts but couldn’t name any of their songs. She also said “I wish I had a small butt like you”. Number 2 we’ll call Emma. She was the typical emo kid that hates people. She really liked that style and listening to metal/punk, but she always had to bring it up and make fun of other girls who where not as quirky. For instance she always downgraded me for being a “basic bitch” when I couldn’t care less about my style and just wore something comfortable or clean (grey, black, white or stripes). I’m also a very tall girl, about 5’11 or 180 cm. And Emma is average for a girl but she always made a point of her being “so small” and made me feel like a giant. When we hung out she would ask me about 5 times to put my hand up against hers in a high five to compare so she could take a picture and send to different guys with “I’m so smol”. Emma honestly made me insecure about liking certain things, like motivational quotes I had in my room were “so lame” and my taste in music was basic. She made fun of me in front of boys for these and other things. And always said stuff around guys like “I wish I could wear jeans but my butt is too big”. 3rd one we’ll call Elena. She is one of the reasons my self esteem dropped so bad in 6th grade. She started saying things like “You would be pretty if you wore makeup and flat ironed your hair”. She posted on instagram a class picture from 3rd grade (I think) and had the caption “Meja (me) looks like a boy haha” because I had my brother’s old shirt on, which I liked. A few years later she was as said by herself a “tomboy”.

Dude, that is most of my teen years. I denied myself wearing girly things, thought I was special because I liked edgy horror anime, my little pony, cartoons and hated One Direction. I wore some weird things to school, I was the artsy "not like other girls" person. I drew edgy art during class, listened to indie music and so on. As I grew older, entering my high school years, I have slowly unlearned the "other girls" nonsense. Sadly, at that point, I was too scared to admit I enjoy normie stuff. It took time to be at peace, simply enjoy what I liked. A lot of these "not like other girls" things were an expression of my mental health issues. Years have passed, I am here now, sitting under a Hello Kitty blanket, listening to 1D and Kesha. The moment you realise there's no such thing as other girls, means you grew as a person. The division is pointless, enjoy whatever you want, dress however you want! Stay cool, be kind, be a girl in your own way

The type of phone I had also came with the option of adding text, so I decided typing "go away or get killed" would be a good idea. Then the teacher took my phone one day, saw the background, and my dad was called to the school. This was before the 2010s, so the school wasn't worried I'd become a killer or something, they just thought it was unacceptable.

They always comments on how they’re “crazy” and “messed up” because they never find things like blood or gore gross.

Dude I started "hating" on traditionally feminine things such a long time ago, but later realised the problem is not that they are sexual stereotypes, the problem is that they didn't fit my style anymore and made me feel uncomfortable.

I don't hate them anymore but the lack of interest is still there, just like many other girls out there, thus making it into the tomboy stereotype lmfao.

Ugh I have one for this. This girl in the third grade was my biggest enemy. We always pretended to like each other because of the teacher who was an absolute DONG. So this girl was a “wolf girl” you could say, very edgy, wanted to be a quiet kid, etc. So this girl came up to me (I was wearing an oversized hoodie that day) when she got to me she said “why are you wearing that?” Of course I was confused and said “listen just because you try to be edgy doesn’t mean you are” she didn’t come to school for a LONG time after that

I had an "enemy" in elementary school too. She was friends with someone even worse, who I haven't seen since like 3rd grade. Anyway, she always would talk about how I once bit her in a fight. I don't remember this at all. She would "hiss" at me (like a cat) when she was mad at me. I pretty much forgot about her in middle school (except when I got paired with her for a dancing thing we had to do in PE. I could tell we mutually hated every second of it), and still I've never directly talked to her since elementary school. In high school I made the mistake of telling a classmate about our rivalry. I really didn't want to become enemies with her again (I hoped that maybe she'd changed and we could even be friends). He asked her why she hated me. When he told me that he did that, I died inside a bit. The only thing that could possibly do is make her think I still will always hate her. She recently has joined my friend group, via friends of friends. When I found out, I thought it would become a problem. So far nothing bad has come of it.

Remembering middle school and high school is painful, I was in the 'I'm so quirky and random' phase to mask the fact that I was actually socially awkward and quiet, I thought in order to make friends and be happier with myself I needed to act like an anime girl. I even over did it when a guy everyone said was handsome would walk by even though I wasn't interested. I stopped being like this once I went to a new school in a small town during my junior and senior year, ironically acting like my true self actually made me a bit more popular with people. 🤣

My middle school music teacher gave us an exercise: we chose a song to sing in front of the class to show what kind of music we liked. We could do that in group. But my anti-social "not like the others" mind was like NOPE. So everyone show up, singing in group of 3-4 the latest trending song or a really good Michael Jackson song and here I was all alone, singing my heart out a vocaloid song (Aku no Meshitsukai/Servant of Evil) where I only know half of the lyrics because I originally wanted to sing it in french (native language) but teacher wanted the original. It was bad but to make it worse, my teacher accidentally, I don't even know how and where, found a cover of someone singing the song but had a way higher pitch than the original and thought it was the original. So imagine a 13 year old girl who doesn't speak a word of Japanese, literally breaking her voice while her teacher kept saying "higher!". No wonder why I was bullied back then.

In middle school I thought I was “not like other girls” for liking video games as well!

I'd love to be able to be more comfortable with what I'm doing and how I'm living my life now.

Truthfully, I didn't have cable TV at home nor was that curious about people's lives outside of my school or immediate family.

When I was in elementary school I wanted the identity of "tomboy" so bad. It's true I liked stereotypical boy things like gym class, anime, RC cars, wrestling and hated skirts, but I also loved stereotypical girl things like dolls, stuffed animals, my dance classes and makeup. I thought of other girls as weak, dumb, and vain for some reason and wanted to distance myself from that, but also was jealous of their confidence. I dressed in hoodies and sweatpants and chewed my gum obnoxiously in public. It took my mom telling me that a girl can like fashion and dolls while still being strong and intelligent. That there's nothing wrong with liking what I like, and that doesn't make me any less of a girl. Just like that, it all clicked, I just didn't want to be stereotyped. I then went to an all girls highschool and realized, hey guess what, we're not a monolith.

My story is basically with boys (as a boy myself) and it lasted too many years to count. I felt I was not like other boys because I didn't raise hell with the teachers and didn't play video games. Bro when sh*t hit the fan that I was in fact the WORST you could think of it made me think TWICE. I now have very low self esteem and have never had a functioning relationship, and I am still more friends with girls than boys. I think I am still going through a cringe phase right now because I have such low self esteem and the fact that most of the students hated my guts just for basically existing. I always feel as if I am being judged right behind my back and my best friend had told me that they are. I am also more parental with even adults on how they spe d their money because I grew up poor and had few to no popular shoes and my family barely had the money to even get out of the poor county we lived in. The fact that everyone else was wearing name brands and actually good looking outfits made me VERY wary about myself. And so when I got my money, I am very wary on spending it and I would very vocally tell them if they're spending way too much money on dumb things or not. Like my grandmother spending $196 at Dollar General, most of the money on cheap decorations. I blame myself and my mother because I am very skittish about how I spend my money to where I won't even have my bank account be under 100 dollars because I actually want to live a good life and hope others do as well.

[@josiahwright3751]

My classmates loathed me when I was in school too. Eventually you just kind of learn that they're not worthy of your consideration. I hit up the local goodwill store and bought a cheap suit, some dress shirts, a couple of ties, and black dress pants. The way you dress does wonders for your perception of yourself. I don't really know what to tell you about a relationship, since that was something I never wanted for myself (with the current state of society I think that it'd be nothing short of monstrous to bring kids into the world) and so I never bothered learning anything about what all is required to make something like that a success. As for the spending concerns, I completely understand your position. When you're used to having little, it's hard to get out of the habit of stashing any excess funds away for a worst case scenario. Honestly that's a smart thing to do regardless of whether you think you'll ever need it or not. However, some people upon newly gaining wealth will often get so caught up in experiencing all the luxuries that their newly acquired money has to offer that they become impatient and extravagantly spend outside of their means, leaving them in a worse financial position then they were in prior to becoming wealthy. Still, although I hate to use the cliché that I'm sure you've heard from old men countless times already, it does eventually get easier. Only in a rare occasion does life improve overnight, and it's seldom without effort, but if you're truly as determined to improve your position as it sounds like you are, stay determined and work hard. Even if it takes you a decade to claw your way up the pyramid of success, you'll eventually make it as long as you remember your reason for fighting to improve.

@@josiahwright3751 thanks dude. I actually have started dressing better this year, buying big brand works but still want something off of these that make me look like myself. Most of the things I had I never matched and most of them were very Walmart Bobby Jack fits and what not. When I realized it's better to be part of the group that views you better than most do, I started to do things that will gain my confidence and self esteem. Like dressing in better clothes that also make me look like myself and what I am going to do when I get my license, joining a gym. That way I will do something athletic and help myself to making a better means for my body and physical health. Just yesterday, I got myself a cute Snoopy ugly Sweater from Walmart on the purposes on having a cute holiday themed piece of clothing for dress up days and holiday wear at all (which I didn't have beforehand). I actually went to the mall once and me and my best friend had fun, even buying a few things, but most of today's clothes are from online ordered by my parents. Good thing is, I actually do have some friends and people who cheer for me lol. I just get a lot of hate for most of my behaviors caused by autism and I took it to heart due to the poor reputation of autistic fellows, including Chris Chan and most of the high needs students at my school not even being able to function in the real world at all. It's kind of a sad story once you think about it. I've always been told that the haters are never worth my time and are no superior than anyone else. I just wish they learn so we all know the concept of common sense and respect. Again, thank you so much for your words lol.

When I was a teen, being overly feminine was deemed as "stupid", so I used to do stuff that was considered more "masculine" just to appear "cooler". For example, I would watch and play football, wear baggy clothes, act more tomboyish, "hate" color pink, play video games, etc. But the thing is that I wouldn't do those things because I just liked to, but just to "prove" that I wasn't overly feminine and therefore "stupid". As I grew older, I stoped caring about labels and people's opinions, so I became my true feminine self and do only the things I actually like, regardless of whether they may be considered more "feminine" or "masculine". I guess it's fine to go through that "pick-me" phase as long as it's just a phase and you eventually grow out of it.

The "I am not like other girls just to be different"-stereotype makes me worry sometimes to describe myself or my interests online. I am female. I do like a lot of things that my peers back in school though to be boys interests (action movies, knights, liked wolves more than bunnies). I also never wore makeup to school and felt rather dressed up on our exam celebration when I wore a dress, had my hair done and wore makeup. I didn't start these interests just because I wanted to be different, I just couldn't find a liking in romance novels, found castle play sets way more interesting than princess themed stuff. I wasn't forced to be different either, my parents just let me choose my Christmas wishes and complied with me wanting playmobil knights and didn't force me to buy girly clothing. I'm also well aware that I'm not the only one like that and that I'm neither worse nor better than other people... But yea... Even writing this I can already see people typing "I Am nOt liKe OtHer giRls"-replies. I feel a lot of times, while being different just for show isn't really mature behavior, people get accused of this unjustifiedly.

Got the perfect story for this occasion. So flashback to 8th grade, I’m learning more about myself and expanding my fashion style into a mild emo phase. I already was pale with naturally dark hair and eyes. So as my friends at lunch were talking about something that I wasn’t particularly interested in, I look over to another table to some popular girls and overhear this conversation. One of the girls had slightly dark lipstick on(it was probably 2 shades darker than her natural lip color[not that dark]), and she moved her platinum blonde hair over one eye and said “oh my GAWD I’m feeling so emo today. Im so different then you. You could never understand…” and I tried so hard not to laugh. I had dark purple earrings that clipped to the top of my ears, a black ring, black eyeliner, a hot topic bracelet that said “go away” in dark ace colors and lipstick a slightly darker shade than hers. Thought I’d share that gem of a story since it fit the occasion

@@Skoopyghost AAAAAAAAAAAAAA youtube is really stupid! It keeps deleting my comments as I'm trying to write them. So let me start over. I'm glad to see you have made it out of this negative ideology, and you're here with us. It can be really easy to generalize other people and fall into an "us vs them" mentality. But there is no "them", there's only us, we're all the same. It's so easy to fall into the idea that "there's something intrinsically wrong with other people", but that's literally fascism, putting yourself above of other people just because you think that there's something wrong with them. And specifically, you've had to deal with gender essentialism, just like me. There is obviously the patriarchy, peddling the idea that men are more strong and less emotional than women, but TERFs (trans exclusionary radical feminists) believe it too, that there can be only one abuser and one victim, that it's of "opposite genders". But that can't be farther from the truth. Everyone is capable of harm and everyone is capable of kindness, we are not on opposite sides just because of differing physical characteristics. Next time you encounter a woman rejecting you or treating you in a dismissive way, don't jump to the idea that "she's never going to know my feelings, she's completely different" and understand that this person may have experienced the exact feelings you do in this moment. The feeling of ostracization, loneliness, betrayal, rejection. They may have gone through the same things you have. So, we're all the same, no matter how different someone else may seem. Getting over this mentality is about holding yourself accountable for the actions you take and learning to understand other people's perspectives. It's really hard to take emotional responsibility, but you'll find better people for it. You deserve to find the goodness in other people, and I hope you may be able to forgive yourself and move forward. We've all done shitty things, but the actions we take to rectify it are the most important. This is how we can stop ourselves from abusing others, whether or not we think they deserve it. See hope in other people and see hope in yourself, there is potential for doing better. You deserve to grow and heal and change for the better. I hope good things come your way.

Story 44: You're not supposed to jump from relationship to relationship right away. I wish this was taught more to people. You need to give yourself time between relationships. Short term 3-6 month relationships require at least a month of being single while longer relationships up to a year need 2 months and anything longer than that needs at least 3 months. The time you spend single is so that you can learn to be an individual independent again. You rediscover what you lost being a couple. Unfortunately, you don't realize how much you change about yourself to become ideal for your partners. And this is what causes you to not like being in that relationship. The more you allow yourself time to rediscover who you are, the less you let others change you. This actually works for toxic relationships with family or friends not just romantic partners. The low/no contact for a period of time lets you reset and establish your boundaries.

She went into a full on "anxiety attack" which was basically her and her friends who tried to cheer her up running around us for 10 minutes laughing and skipping while screaming dumb stuff like "f you seagulls". For the remainder of the day, whenever a seagull flew within eyesight, she would make a noise to garner our attention. I had known her for 3 years and went to the same school every day. This has never happened before or happened again, and it was so clearly just an attempt of being different.

I had a bit of not like other girls phase but more so tinged with anxiety cause a friend of mine was always telling me how awful our female classmates were to them. Like honestly the cheerleaders in my grade were so so sweet, even tho I barely talked in class due to how anxious I always was, they'd do shit like give me a thumbs up when I was doing a presentation. Later on I'd be all happy and excited telling my friend who always had something to say 'oh her? Her boyfriend hit on me and she called me a slut' 'Blank? You know she gives us dirty looks when we pass.' I wore a whole fucking clip on foxtail to school on one of the last days and got compliments, told my friend at lunch and they ranted how the same exact girl walked up and told them they were a loser for wearing it. Now that I'm older, I've noticed that friend tended to have beef with any possible new friends I was making...

Also pro tip, never cosplay to final exams. If your classmates are nice, feel free to cosplay any other time. But not during exams! I think I actually fried some braincells trying to do a math and science exam while wearing a wig and coat, that shit was way too warm

[@skyvolt2566]

I remember going through my "Not like other girls" phase bc I played video games and loved star wars basically an all around geek. Bc back then it was almost unheard of. This was back when girls usually had to keep their mics muted bc if you talked you'd either get a guy telling you to go back to the kitchen or constantly asking for your number or asking for nudes. I'm very happy girl gamers are more accepted now.

[@ootfan7882]

As a guy would was like that when I was younger, I apologize.

[@victoriabannister3850]

I had a massive cringe phase like this, too. But I like to think looking back on that behavior and seeing it for what it was is something good. I saw how much I had changed, and it put into perspective how much I grew as a person. There's still more growing to be done, but at least we're all on our way. :)

[@spookyspice596]

As a kid, I used to consider myself a “tomboy” even though I clearly wasn’t. The reason I did this was because I was brought up with a lot of media that had a tendency to frame any high femme character as a mean girl or a bimbo and I didn’t want to be seen that way, despite loving Disney movies, Spice Girls, and growing an interest in clothing and makeup. I realize now that the reason I did that was due to internalized misogyny.

[@himarisuzuki5208]

As someone with a pretty varied flavor palette, there is nothing you can tell me that will ever convince me black coffee is good. I've had black coffee from all kinds of different brands and beans. I had a friend make me black coffee with these expensive beans and it was just as bland as every other black coffee I tried. It's not like,"oh it makes me want to puke" bad, it just doesn't really taste like anything other than bitter water. The only time I've had "black coffee " and thought it was decent, I had an espresso shot.

[@CC-cw8wu]

I remember someone so entrenched in a pick me phase that she defended a guy who SAed a girl because she was mad that girl was getting attention from another guy she liked. She tried to play it off like that wasn’t the case but we all knew.

[@Katerina_Alexandra]

I have the WORST one. I've never told anyone this before but thinking about it makes me physically ill. Anyway, I did martial arts throughout school and college and I usually didn't boast about it but I went through a phase when I was 16 where I had a "not like other girls" attitude about being able to defend myself and fight (looking back, I wasn't even that good lmao). There was this girl I didn't like come up to me and ask me "Hey can you like my facebook post spreading awareness about r*pe and s*xual violence? I told her something along the lines of "You know, none of that ever happens if you just learn to fight back... I'm not liking your dumb FB post." Ugh. Sad part of the story is when I was in college and was r*ped. It wasn't a situation that I could fight. Sweet summer child. I still cringe so much.

[@Dana_1026]

alright, im 12. and oh god there is a girl in my class who is SO annoying because, well, she’s a pick me girl. (of course.) let’s call her.. selma. BUT the 3 most pick me girl things that she has done in her life are these. 1: My class and i were peacefully working on some worksheet our teacher just gave us science or history (i can’t remember) but selma had the COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE to LITERALLY just say “oh yeah, i lived on the savannah in south Africa. mhm, i also rode a zip-line when i was 3 years old then i fell from the zipline and then a shark that was in the water bit me in my arm, you see this red mark? yeah its that” gurl, that’s a red sharpie just stfu. 2: she thinks she can get away with anything by only saying “i wasn’t talking to you”. okay then, at one point i was talking to my friend about this music artist we both don’t really like. “oh yeah? what if people said that to you, huh?” selma said. and me, being the one in my friend group that easily gets annoyed to anything one person to i said “It just our opinion, plus we weren’t talking to you.” probably one of the best comebacks i’ve ever done. 3: she goes into snapchat and posts picture of her only in her bra and underwear. I SWEAR SHE’S ONLY 11 OR 10, SHE’S IN GRADE 6 AND I’M IN GRADE 7??? when i was her age i wore sweatpants with baggy shirts because i didn’t know what to wear, and i wouldn’t: even dare to post that online if it was me lmao trust me, my mom’s spoon and chanclas will come and get me dead. funny story actually, my class went into french class (plus me) because we have to. we were doing our work, the teacher gave a french lesson, bla bla bla. here’s where the actual good part comes in. the teacher said all of us go into a circle. i went into the circle, next to me was a boy (A) and in my other side was a boy (B). next to boy (B) was my friend. so i told boy (b) to switch spots so i can be with my friend. so, we switched spots. now selma looks at the situation and decides to go in between of boy (A) and boy (B). Ha. Boy (b) asked me to switch spots again and i of course said yes because of the growing hatred i have for this girl. seriously, if i could have the option of yelling at her of how annoying she is and not get in trouble, i’d choose that option right away with no hesitation. Sorry this is long, there is WAY much worse things she has done like writing f*ck everywhere and b*tch, and even draw pennises everywhere, even in HER desk like i remember she got in trouble because of that lol.

wow, now that i notice how much i’ve writen, i should start a whole book about her.

The part of posting pictures in underwear in Snapchat highly disturbs me because there's so many creepy people in those apps and she's just a little kid who doesn't know better and just like you I wasn't thinking of posting that kind of pictures on Snapchat, I was probably shopping at Justice, like seriously even I haven’t sent that kind of pictures (and I'm 18 years old, literally just got out of my teenage years) someone should talk to her and say she will regret that sht when she's older

Not a female, but I thought I was different because all of my friends listened to pop and rap, while I listened to country, I’d constantly talk down rap and brag about how I listen to country and how I think it’s superior to that other kinda music. Fast forward about 4 years and I am an avid rap fan, with one of my fav artist being Kevin Gates.

I don't know if it's cringey or not, but while growing up i was a bit of a tomboy, I only talked to my best friend, so I didn't know other girls were like me and genuinely thought i was weird for not behaving like the other girls at my school. Later, I met a girl who was like me, not really interested in "girly" things. I discovered that there were other girls like that too, and I was so happy to know that I wasn't the only one ! Looking back, I am really happy I met her as she is one of my closest friends 💙

So backstory: I was born both genders. My entire childhood I pretended I was just a girl. So now, I'm 22, I dyed and slightly cut my hair, and some kid came up to me and said, "Hey, girl!! I love your hair, girl!!" And in my mind I just went "I ' m n o t l i k e o t h e r G i r l s , I h a v e a d -" Edit, I know it's weird but it's an actual thing LOOK IT THE F[[K UP. I think it's something like hermaphroditism

As an autistic kid who was desperately trying to mask, I wished I was "like other girls" to the point I'd cry at night. Truly not like others when you're school age is pretty much a one way ticket to being ostracised 😂 You hit adulthood and you end up with similarly "odd" friends, most people stop caring about us vs them, and you end up being pretty good

There was a girl at my old school who hated boys. (This was in middle school). I don’t know why, she just said she hated boys and didn’t give any reason. I was friends with these two guys, who I will call Chris and Tommy. This girl would hiss (yes, hiss like a cat) at all three of us if we even dared to walk past her, and would tell us to go away. Anyways so one day, I was hanging out with Chris and Tommy as usual and this girl who we’ll call Ruby. And the other kid comes over and tells Ruby to come hang out with her instead, and glares at me and Chris as she basically drags Ruby away. We just laughed about it afterwards though. I’ve met her twice since then, I’m now 18 and she is 17. She never talked about how she acted back then, but I’m going to assume that she’s embarrassed about it lol.

Got out of that phase in 7th grade, it was the most cringiest era of my life. I started embracing the weird an normal side of me and just accept that people can like the same stuff as me and just not care about how they think of my interests, we all are different, end of story.

[@joshstabler3438]

Just relieved people used “cringey” as the adjective, not “cringe”. So, so annoying when people say “That was so cringe.”

[@annanimidy7411]

I remember this one time, My teacher was giving away pencil cases in various colours and told the girls to line up to receive them. She would ask the girl in turn to pick a colour and the first 3 girls picked pink. I was 4th in line so when she asked me what colour I wanted, she was already holding a pink one in hand. But I said I wanted the purple one, not because I wanted to be "not like the other girls" (well partly) But because purple was my favourite colour at the time. BTW after the girls were done receiving the pencil cases the boys were next and they were more sparse in the colours they chose

After I got bullied I definitly had a "not like other girls Phase" and I started listening to metal and acting really tough and intimadating in order to be percieced as strong. And it did work actually, people started respecting me and the bullying really cooled off. After leaving school tho I pretty quickly turned back into my usual happy-go-lucky self who can't take anything too seriously. Altough now I'm getting reminded why I was bullied in the first place because apperently smiling at people is seen as weird and disgusting still. Even tho I act probably WAAYY more cringey now than I did in middle school, at least I am myself. And that's all that matters.
