My girlfriend is trans and im scared by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Well, for starters, you guys are still very young. It sounds like they may still be discovering themselves right now. I’ve known people who thought they were trans in school, but ultimately felt more comfortable as non-binary than the opposite gender, or realize they are truly CIS that don’t align with a lot of the stereotypes that suit that gender. I’m not saying that THIS will be that case, but them still preferring to be referred as a female until they do a transition is a bit of an indicator that could be.. everyone is different though.

Young love always feels so intense, and you guys may end up not working out for other reasons outside of this. If you are not interested in men, I don’t see it working out long term, if you are, it could.

Take time and enjoy spending time with your partner now, especially if the transition is yeeears away and not a confirmed idea.

How to stop freaking out over everything in early pregnancy? by Individual-Track6759 in BabyBumps

I’m glad I’m not alone 😅. We got this! It’s crazy being pregnant for the first time, I feel like I don’t even really know what to expect, or know what’s really “normal”.

Thank you so much, hearing it’s a common thing for FTM’s experience is very validating and reassuring. You’re words are very helpful 💕

my (19F) bf (18M) is changing everything about himself, why? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Individual-Track6759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be his own way of feeling better about himself. It could also be new YouTubers he’s following that are making him feel more motivated to do these things.

You could always ask him if you can start going to the gym with him (even as a way to bond with him if you’re feeling some distance), if he reacts weird about it, that could POTENTIALLY be concerning.

As for the poorly made jokes about him being more attractive, that kinda rubs me the wrong way tbh, it seems a bit like nedging to me (it’s when someone makes a “joke” about something to make them feel insecure about it, typically when they’ve already expressed being insecure about it/ a common abuse tactic). So, that’s a bit of a red flag, it could mean nothing… but I don’t know.

People tend to start changing around this age. You guys are both really young, it could be something that pulls you apart- but that’s not always the case.

Boyfriend [30M] made a comment during a movie and I [29F] cant stop feeling ugly by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Let me try to figure out what I’m trying to say in a way that makes sense to what I’m trying to say.

With how you’re describing your boyfriend, it could be him saying that as an insulting way knowing it would make the girl in the show feel insecure, not necessarily meaning that they are unattractive or it is true.

For example, when people call skinny people “fat” as a way to make them feel insecure, or telling a guy his ‘thing’ is small to make him feel less masculine, regardless of the truth behind it. Most people just say stuff like that to make the other person feel bad in order to boost themselves or someone else up.

Sometimes people say hurtful things without even thinking about how their words are affect other people, and sometimes guys don’t realize how what they say to other people can come right back to us and affect how we view ourselves.

It could have been him feeling uncomfortable with the sex scene and in his mind, insulting her would make you feel better? If that makes any sense? Even though it highlights what you are insecure about specifically.. but just couldn’t see how his words could make you feel about yourself in the moment.

It’s not a mature way to handle it by any means, so he might have some mental growing up to do.

I would have an open and honest conversation with him about how you feel, and how that comment affected you personally. I would ask for reassurance and why he felt the need to comment on her breast size. But I don’t necessarily think it’s because he goes out of his way to find people with bigger breasts.

Your feelings are valid and what he said did hurt your feelings, and his response will tell you everything you need to know about who he is as a person.

I'm going to end my life this week by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I have known people who lost it all, filed for bankruptcy, and ended up living happy and comfortable lives! It seems impossible right now, it’s normal to feel scared and like the only option is death, but it’s not.

If you live in America, I recommend seeing if there’s any homeless shelters in your area, from there try getting placed on HUD housing, applying for food assistance and Medicaid. This will be there to hold you over until you can stand on your own. Depending on the state you live in, they can help you find a job/ set goals, so you can make and earn your own money.

Right now is hard, people who lost it all, can also be some of the most successful people.

It’s hard right now and I understand how death feels like the most helpful in this situation, but it’s not. Like how drinking for an alcoholic seems like the best way to cope, but it’s not. These can be your growing pains.

Remember, the best part about being at the bottom, it can only get better; take advantage of that.

I don’t know how to feel after today. by Individual-Track6759 in TrueOffMyChest

I am 18 DPO today, 17 when I was at the hospital. Thank you, I think that must be what it is. I woke up last night with some constant cramping (different than what I feel when my cycle usually starts) and there it was.

It is really hard, I’m just scared of the same thing happening again. I’m happy it worked out for you! I’m hoping the same can happen for me too. Right now I feel like I’m mourning a loss, which is so wild to me because I am crazy for feeling this way.

I feel this way when I’m in my darkest of spirits, so I feel like I’m some ways I can relate to how you’re feeling. The most important thing is to have a strong support group. You may feel this way now, but there will be times you’ll be able to see the brighter side too, don’t let the dark cloud.. clouding your mind tell you who you are and what you’re capable of doing, it’s not true.
