For me, it was a long talk I had with a random person on Omegle when that was a thing. I was bored one night so I decided to give it a try and I was matched with someone who I had nearly a 2 hour conversation with. We told jokes, told each other about ourselves, and talked like we were lifelong friends. But, we never did tell each other our names. I could've talked to this person all night but the interaction turned for the worst near the end. The person was depressed from what I gathered and the depression arose and the conversation fizzled out. I still think about them nearly 6 years later and hope that they are doing good whoever they were.

When I was about 7/8yrs old, I ended up in an elevator alone with an elderly couple who proceeded to debate with one another whether I was a boy or a girl, while making direct eye contact with me.

The woman argued I must be a girl because of my pretty hair and face, while her husband was sure I must be a boy, given my... outfit and eyebrows? They never bothered to asked me, and I exited the elevator without saying a word to them

Sooo... have you decided yet, which one you want to be?

Honestly, that was the option I had hoped for when I made that joke. I‘m happy for you.
