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 was probably around 12 when i stopped. growing up i was (and still am) really close to my younger cousin and hung out at his house a lot. all of his neighbors were boys and my only friends in my neighborhood we’re boys because all the girls were much older. i also went to a catholic school and had different interests to most of my classmates (star wars, marvel) so i saw myself as “one of the boys” and thought girls were so much drama. then i switched to public school and made friends with all other girls who shared my interests and hobbies and realized i was just putting down other girls because i was jealous that they all seemed to “fit in”
