>>74814944Recently a friend of mine shared her experience somewhat similar to what you're mentioning. In primary school she chose male crushes because she felt "obligated to", her friends had them so she thought it should be an universal thing every girl has. She was """lucky""" to have those boys fall for her which led her to awkward positions, as she actually didn't feel anything for them. So she had those pretend crushes until one of them actually showed back the interest. Years later she realized she's a lesbian.
That's not exactly what I got from Mori's diary though. Maybe it was a case of FOMO, but from my understanding my lesbian friend acted like she had those crushes around her friends and did not care nearly enough to write about it in her diary and be extremely petty and mean towards one of her apparently best friends. Everyone's different though, and I'm not a psychologist, so I don't know.
