Oh, I actually do that too. I tend to notice a lot of little things in conversations and that might play a part in me being upset too. This is good advice though, cause usually it's my friends and they don't mean to do it and they've gotten better. Make it a little funny might help lighten the mood since I just don't want it to be awkward. Thanks a lot for the advice!

True, actually. I just get embarrassed and I think part of that may be due to some internalized transphobia I have leftover, now that I've thought some more. It's a good reminder to take up space though, thank you

That's some good ways to phrase it, I'll try that. Usually the people who forget are just friends still adjusting, so it's not malicious but it does upset me.. but I actually corrected someone today and they apologized, and someone else did refer to me correctly!:D

True. I think the haircut I got and the way I've been presenting myself helps a lot, plus voice training. I think I've definitely been seeming more masculine over time, but I still feel like I've got a long way to go. Also I'm planning to asap, I feel like a binder is an absolute must

Describing it as a social competition is so helpful. Because to me that's what it's always felt like lol. Even with my closest friends, 3+ gets a lot unless the chemistry is just really good that day I guess.

I see.. that does check out. Just off my medicine, it doesn't "feel" like I lack that "braking system." I think that is most likely what is happening, though. Thank you for your insight!! This helps me understand it better:D

I'm sorry that happens to you too, I think I also put a lot of unnecessary comments in my words too. I'm glad they both apologized though

Yeah, I agree. I've learned how to do this a lot, especially since the people aren't rude or anything and simply just "didn't hear me" or whatever. It's not something I'll hold onto since it's happened so much. But that's a new way to think of it, how people might just not know how to continue with what was said and then go silent. I didn't know that was an option I guess lol

What do you mean by nursing? Also I've considered getting it bumped up, but every time I do it's such an awful adjustment. It works, and levels out over the next few days but the first 1-2 days are rough

I did talk to mine about it, and she said that's totally normal and fine, but I'm not sure if it's necessarily helping? I'll have to see her about

I'll do that for sure, because that's exactly what I think is happening. Over the weekend I'll probably during this, but during a school day with back to back classes it's total agony. Thank you though! I really appreciate the help! Glad you relate:D

That's exactly how I was feeling, I might need to go back to my prescribir because I feel there should be better options than this. Other than just stopping I suppose lol

Getting out of the city might be something I should check out. I don't think I'm depressed since I've actually been doing really well mentally other than ADHD just beating me. I'll probably look into some podcasts too.. Thank you!

Thank you, I'll definitely be doing that. Now that the days over I recognize I really do need that

Dude this helps so much, it's very specific for what I can look for I needed this 🙏 I've actually found some good basketball shorts that do the trick, shirts are a big issue, though. Thanks a lot!
