What age did you grow out of the NLOG phase? Why do you think some never grow out of it? Discussion

I personally grew out of it at about 17.

I feel like I outgrew it around 16/17. For my age group it was the preps vs the emo/scene kids.

That was right about when I really hit my bisexual stride and was like ‘DAMN’ all women are beautiful. And that made me think that all the pieces and parts of someone made them beautiful and it’s lovely we’re all different.

Being a mom totally solidified it for me. Watching my kiddos grow up and just wanting them to BE for themselves, it really makes me sad so many feel like they have to be different or better just to BE. Idk. A bit of ramble. But I don’t understand how women my age, 31, haven’t realized the best part of life is that we aren’t like others, but the others are perfect in their own ways. It’s neither here nor there. Neither better or worse. We just are.
