I went to my childhood church and the stark contrast between how they're treating me now and how they used to is stark

That's not to say they treated me badly. But the childhood friends (that are girls) didn't constantly grab my arm, rub my back, use any excuse to touch my shoulders, or say,"I love you!" This is shocking treatment. I lost over 100 lb, built muscle, changed my walk to be more masculine and no one has ever treated me like a king in this manner before. Demanding that we hang out, saying to call them, all sorts of stuff. Even the men give me more respect and one guy who used to talk more loudly acted as if he was intimidated by me despite him being taller. He talked all quiet and refused to look me in the eye.

Wow.

This is what it's like to be treated normal???

I'm shell shocked.

Edit: oops used stark twice
