I grew up with a long blonde bowl cut and I have round eyes. Some boomers would mistake me for a girl when I was like 7. I remember once in middle school, it was picture day, and this older kid first walked up to our classes gay kid and said "Yo it's picture day, make sure to get your curls done", then he walks up to me and says the exact same thing. I was like ok nigga? Really? I'm in the same boat as the gay kid?
Another time I got called gay: I was waiting at a bus stop when a female family "friend" I haven't seen in years (I doubt we ever really interacted because I was always weird around girls) walks up to me and says hi. I act like I don't know her (I did know her but I'm super ND). She says "Don't you remember me I was close with your cousin" and tries making small talk. I keep insisting I don't know her and she might've mixed me up with someone else. I give short and cold responses hoping she'd leave me alone, and she eventually does.
I don't think much of it until a few weeks later my cousin starts pressing me with a very angry voice "Why have you never had a gf? Why don't you even text girls?". I was a christian larper at the time, and he's christian too so I use that against him and call it a sin. He says " *girls name* told me she saw you. She said she studies psychology and she's 100% sure you're gay". This bitch saw a socially retarded nigga and decided to start telling people I was gay off of one interaction.
May just be narcissism but whenever I'd interact with a male I'd assume they thought me to be less masculine than themselves. Even though, rationally thinking about it, I genuinely believe myself to be more masculine than at least 50% of the male population.
There was a moment where I realized I was really insecure. I saw a father holding his baby boy in a parked car and kissing him all over his face. My first thoughts were "Is he a fag?"
