I am 20, a closeted gay, and haven't had the best social life so far..I want to be a teenager again and "live" a litter more than I did. I would always be the reserved, mature one but now I want to release all this energy out and act like a kid. Also...I'm attracted to younger guys..like 16 or 17 years olds..my psychiatrist thinks it's because it was at this age I repressed the idea of being gay. Anyway, I feel like I'm growing older and watching life go by. I've only had 1 kiss ever and it sucked..
Anyone feel similarly?

Is It Normal?

    yeah man.. it's a little sad but it's normal.

    16-19 were the worst fucking years of my life so I would jump off a cliff if I was forced to go back to that age.
    I can't really relate but I do have that same regret like my life is passing me by now. I want to stop aging as I am now be young but still stronger, wiser. I don't want to be a scrawny little honkey anymore I like being big and fucking grown intelligent women who are not dumbass hyper little vain school girls.

    god damn. highschool sucks balls more than anything else I feel so confused when people act like they want to go back (like my girlfriend's almost 50 year old mother.)

    Seriously I feel the exact same way! I also only had 1 kiss before and I think it is partially because it is harder for homosexuals to find partners :/ I mostly like younger girls but can be attracted to boys if they are middle-school aged (only this is basically me being pedo X'| lol )

    We all have regrets, so that's normal. I really doubt your psychiatrist's theory though. You wanting to be 16, and being attracted to 16 year old guys are separate things. One is not the cause of the other. The only thing to do is to move on from wishing to go back in time, it's impossible. You can live your life to the full now, or waste it in regret, your choice. As for who you want to date... Dating younger is fine, just make sure you're not breaking the age of consent laws of your area.

    It's completely normal to be attracted to 16-year-olds, your psychiatrist doesn't know what he's talking about, he shouldn't pathologize normal behavior. In addition, 18 is an arbitrary age, most countries in the world actually have an age of consent of 16 or younger. As for wanting to be younger, I don't know about you, but I feel the same, I think because it'll only get harder to find people and I want to look "normal" to myself. I'd just advise to be careful about what the age of consent is where you are.
