Some people start feeling attraction at a very young age. It may not be sexual but the attraction is there. I'm a straight man and I've literally found girls to be beautiful for as long as I can remember.
I had my first real crush on a celebrity with sexual feelings associated when I was 8 or 9 years old. I've heard similar stories from others first hand. It's normal.
You were being influenced by social norms long before you were old enough to form memories, and likewise not being aware of societal expectations does not mean it is not happening or does not have an effect.
