TikTok Gave me a Mid-Life Crisis

Anyone else going through one of those early 40s, mid-life crises? Spent most of my life on the straight and narrow, disassociating and burying my identity, and then TikTok has me pegged (pun intended) in like thirty minutes. My feed is all kinky, witchy, lgbtq+ oriented stuff.

I feel like I've been asleep for like twenty years and just woke up.

Things I've learned about myself from TikTok:

I'm probably non-binary.
I'm definitely some flavor of pansexual.
ADHD with a praise kink, ofc.

It's usually not a good idea to self-diagnose yourself so quickly. I do think a lot of people spend their life repressed, which can eventually habituate through repetition, but I would consider it very rash to reach such drastic conclusions so suddenly.

It's possible that you're just h0rny and exploring fantasies to play with. Time will tell.

@TinyViolins It's more like remembering who I was as a teenager, rather than coming to drastic conclusions that are coming out of nowhere. Stuff that was shut down and buried a long time ago, but never really went away.
