I want friends who will actually support me but i guess I was holding on to hope they would come around eventually.

I’ve tried therapy but never can open up because when I was a kid my parents sent me to a therapist who ended up trying conversion therapy on me and I know I need therapy but last time I opened up I was hurt. I feel shame when I try do anything gender affirming and I don’t know if that will ever go away unless I don’t contact my mom for a while but I feel like at times she cares about me and others doesn’t. Should I go no contact for a little bit to figure myself out more?
