I grew up in a conservative environment so I just assumed I was conservative until freshman year in high school, when the teacher had us fill out a generic left/right politics poll that placed me just right of center, which was the catalyst for me realizing that maybe I have political opinions, and I should figure them out. I was a progressive-leaning lib within a few months of that.
Yeah I remember doing a political compass test with some peers and getting like bottom left corner and being confused at how people could have answered the questions differently to be getting further right
