Can we talk about how crazy comphet is?

It's actually mind blowing that society pushes heterosexuality on us so hard, that we literally misinterpret our own feelings and believe we're something we're not. It's such a mindfuck. I wonder how many lesbians out there still think they're straight.

In my case, I thought that my feelings of anxiety/discomfort around boys were actually attraction/butterflies. I thought that being hit on and flirted with was supposed to feel bad. That sex is something women put up with. I just assumed that every woman feels giddy around other women, that's just a close friendship, of course. Everyone gets jealous when their friends start dating. Everyone has dreams about kissing their friends. Everyone feels so safe and happy and loved when they're sharing a bed at a sleepover. It didn't help that all the straight girls I knew talked about how uncomfortable boys made them, and how much better they felt around other girls.

Society convinced me that my feelings were a normal part of being straight. It's just insane. My identity was hidden from my own eyes. I'm so glad I found myself, but I'm sad for all the girls who never did. Can we talk about how insane this is? I feel like it doesn't get talked about enough. Comphet is such a pervasive psychological phenomenon, they should be studying this at universities. I'm interested to hear your thoughts.
