Making friends is a legitimate skill, sometimes it comes naturally to people but it was something I had to learn and practice. Like back in the mid 00s I read books about it lol (like How to Make Friends and Win People Over) and I had a… I dunno a mentor? For schmoozing when I was like 16 to 18. It was a weird time in my life and a weirder teacher student relationship - we were also very distant cousins lol.
A lot of people your age and life stage are also lonely, its not just you. I cant speak for certain but I bet a lot of the pain and agony you feel around it all is that you are closeted in so much of your life - but thats just on top of how isolating modern life is anyway.
Did you take your HRT? I forgot, I gotta go do that
I struggle with it everywhere, not just where I’m closeted. and unfortunately, because of how I look, I really dont feel like being out in the rest of my life would make me any less isolated or lonely. If I actually look like a woman that will help. Being out to everyone while looking like a man sounds horrible and humiliating. Yea modern life really is soul sucking for the best of us.
No I didn’t. Meant to earlier. I’ll go get it out now, thank you for the reminder.
I was out well before I passed and before I took HRT, I socially transitioned before even trying voice training, but I had supportive people and I had a take no shit attitude. You know your situation better, all I can say is my fears and anxieties about it were much much worse than my reality of socially transitioning.
I just feel like people won’t look at me right, everyone has some dogshit opinion. Even friends have refused to name me correctly. I don’t want to put up with it or be viewed like that. Maybe after our move. Still worries me a lot about how much harder getting a job is for trans women vs weird guy.
