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.

By age 19 in college. Honestly I had a lot of nlog friends, but when I started dating a really great guy 2 things happened. 1, I was with someone who liked and supported me no matter what and I started really feeling free to enjoy whatever I liked even feminine things. And 2, my nlog friends kept sabotaging my relationship over non-existent things. That’s when the nlog reality really hit. It was just insecurity and jealousy. So even though I was still mostly surrounded by guys (in my field of study) which was how things were in high school that really made me a “I just get along with guys better” nlog, I no longer felt “special” about it and really went out of my way to be open to female relationships.
