did you possibly "out" yourself without knowing it?

[saratk]

I've noticed as an adult by observing my young neices and nephews that they have no filter and say things that I'm sure they'd be horrified that they said when they are older...plus you have no shame when you are a kid...do you think when you were very small you may have talked about tickling with certain people and may have "outed" yourself at least in having a fascination in it?

I remember when I was maybe 5 age being in a bedroom at my grandma's house all by myself and i was "tickling" the bed (pretending it was someone) my older cousin came in and asked me what I was doing and I don't know what I said but iremember her reaction saying "playing tickling" like "ah yes, this is what you do.'

I also remember i first grade journaling about my cousing tickling my feet (which was totally not true, I just wanted it to happen) and drawing a picture of it...a few years later I would be horrified at myself for even mentioning the word in public..I"m sure that work went home to my parents. Anyone else have similar experiences?

Well, when I was a kid, I think that is where it first bloomed. But I never really outed myself; I never was any good at keeping secrets. It was only tickling that fascinated me while I was young. While actually tickling or being tickled didn't cross my mind till I was about...13ish, in late 8th grade. I was a bit of a late bloomer I guess. I never came out to a girl until I was in 9th grade.

Closest I came to "outing myself" was waiting for a class to start in high school while a girl told a story about her boyfriend holding her down and tickling her for like half an hour. I just sat there, pretending to read whilst she and her friends droned on about how it was weird, and she couldn't stand it. I seemed like I was ignoring her, but as my face turned red and started to sweat, I wanted to say, "GO ON!"

So I guess, if anything, in my case it is just the opposite.

Oh I completely outed myself!
So many times!
Before I was gender specific about my tickling (came around age 11 or 12) I would tickle anyone!
There was another neighbor girl who I specifically used to tickle alll the time and I guess maybe I got a little rough... because her parents took her to the doctor because her sides were pink and later realized that it was from my tickling her... woops!
Sooo I used to get in trouble a lot!
Before that, I thought that I was just like everyone else and that everyone felt the way I did about tickling! I used to confide in my friends and get so excited when a crush would get tickled and in fact I developed my first crush in 2nd grade just because other kids used to tickle him on the mats during gym class! And I began to realize that other kids weren't so enthusiastic about it when 4th grade rolled around so it drastically reduced from that point on and stayed in my head.
Although my best friend never forgot it and mentioned it at her sweet 16 during the candle ceremony which as a result made me blush furiously and hope to god that no one was listening enough to catch on.
I re-outed myself accidentally via facebook around last Feb. actually and it was horrifying!
Does anyone else HATE that dailymotion connects directly to facebook???
Needless to say I got up one morning and there for all my friends to see was a lovely tickle video right on my wall that I had unknowingly "facebook liked". With all kinds of comments from people like "WTF!?!!?!?!"
I immediately erased it and backpeddled with thorough explanations about how my friend slept over and thought it was funny to say I liked weird things and blah blah blah.
Oh my life..... XD

In junior high, a good friend of mine (who I'm still very good friends with today) would always go to his place after school and play video games for a while until I'd have to pick up my siblings from elementary school. There were a few times where I expressed STRONG interest in wanting to tickle the feet of a girl or 2 in our class. He obviously was not into it, and asked some clarifying questions, but not in a "wtf is wrong with you" type of tone, and I answered truthfully with no shame. This is before he or I knew anything about what a fetish was. Anyway, to this day I don't believe those conversations ever left his room.

Funny thing though. I've caught him stroking his wife's feet in a tickling manner, though they didn't realize I was watching. Perhaps he had the same interest and pretended to show no interest for fear of outing himself. I'm sure they have some kind of kink.....I just don't know what it is specifically, but the sole stroking plus finding handcuffs while helping them move over the summer......I'm now thinking perhaps I've had a closet ler as a best friend all my life and didn't even know it!

How many of us just went thru our FB, making sure we didn't "FB like" some fetish video onto there? I know I just did, lol....

This made me think back to when I was a kid, when I had a cheap, wooden desk. For some reason, at some point I was compelled to draw on the inside of the drawers with permanent marker. I drew pictures of feet being tickled by feathers. However, genius perfectionist that I was, I wasn't satisfied with the appearance of my "artwork," so I kept repeating the picture until I "got it right." 🙄 Eventually, my parents told me they decided to sell my desk at a church garage sale. I panicked. With no permanent marker at my disposal to "scribble out" the evidence, I tried to ask my dad if I could borrow one from his desk. He asked me why I wanted it, and I froze up in silence, with a dumb, little kid look on my face. Since I wouldn't tell him, he refused to let me use one. My parents ended up selling the desk, stupid pictures and all, making $5 from the deal. Nothing was ever said to me about the pictures.

Oh God, I hope not 0.o

Probably have somewhere at some point. I didn't know how to delete browser history till about a year into my internet searching, sooo...

After a trip with a girl I had been dating a couple weeks we came home and she wanted to upload some pictures from the trip on to her facebook. I told her to just use my computer and so she hopped on my computer and started to do it, and all was fine because I knew the search history and everything was okay. But she had a mac and didn't know how to find the pictures she had just uploaded on my pc, so she searched for the pics and accidently stumbled upon a few tickling pictures I forgot were in a private folder.
