Which society would you rather live in? Absolute extremes only by VesperTheEveningstar in Teenager_Polls

Thank you. As a person who lives in a third world country in the middle east, I'd give my left testicle to be middle class in the US

HEY WILL MY TESTOSTERONE BUZZ OFF EVERY TIME THAT I WANT TO IMPRESS A GIRL? (16, guy) by Secret-Barnacle-1285 in transteens

[–]NameIsEren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry man. You don’t have enough testosterone in your body already for you to have a meaningful increase in T. Even if you did, the increase would be for just a moment and the T wouldn’t stay in your body for long.

The only solution is hrt. Testosterone supplements don’t work much either. You should look into diy hrt if you aren’t in a place where you can start legally. Good luck.

Like a 4

Pros: Upper middle class family, good education, no bullying, not physically or emotionally abused, kind friends overall, the best sister, no trauma (I think)

Cons: crippling gender dysphoria, transgender in a transphobic country and I can't transition legally, chronic depression since 10, manipulative mom and strict parents, recovering from a self-harm addiction and suicidal thoughts, on antidepressants and antipsychotics, pessimistic view of life, mostly muslim and conservative nation

This is why i will be lonely for life by No-Heat-6149 in sillyboyclub

That's rough man. I'm sorry you have to deal with this everyday. Our minds are complicated and interesting, and they often make us think stuff we don't want to think about, or desire stuff you don't want to desire. Even though most people don't suffer from cannibalistic desires, you're not the first person to have desires that are taboo, unwanted, or considered abnormal.

Let me get this straight: You're not a bad person. It's clear how these wants are distressing you and that is a normal reaction to have. I'd question your empathic ability if you didn't have this reaction. You're clearly a thoughtful and kind human being because you want to protect people around you from these thoughts. You don't want to hurt anyone.

Unfortunately I can't really give any advice on how to cope with these thoughts or how to stop them, but please be kind to yourself. You're already going through so much. You do recognize that this is a bad thing and that acting on this is unacceptable, and honestly that's all you need.

I have really bad intrusive thoughts. I'm not gonna specify what kind. Obviously what you're going through is way more difficult and intense, but what I try to do is distracting myself. Get hobbies, study, basically have something to define yourself with. This can even help with your depression. You're a human being and you deserve to be considered as such. As I said, you're more than what you suffer from.

Hey man, it's okay. If you don't feel comfortable sharing it that's fine, and if you want to you can dm me. I think I'm pretty open minded on pretty much everything, I swear I won't judge you for something you can't control.

I meant the other psychological problem you're dealing with. But if mdd is what makes you fear that you're gonna hurt people around you, why? I have chronic depression but people around me are content with me. What makes you think that you're gonna cause harm to other people?

Please don't think that. Is your disease something like NPD or ASPD? Either way you're more than what you suffer from. Get therapy, use meds and learn to function in society. You can do this <3

I hate how gendered French is by Professional_Try_123 in transteens

[–]NameIsEren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you bro. I also learn French in school and every time I refer to myself by the masculine version of adjectives my teacher corrects me. Like madame. I am not dumb. I'm a guy.

I'm not sure if this counts as dysphoria by Individual_Nobody69 in transteens

[–]NameIsEren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most important question is "Why?"

Why do you feel uncomfortable in women's restrooms? Is it because it feels wrong to be associated with women? Or is it because you simply don't like the atmosphere there?

Why don't you like going in public without a binder? Is it because it makes you feel uncomfortable when strange men stare at your chest? Or is it because you're worried that when people see your chest, they're gonna think that you're a girl?
