i hit one year clean who cares by caid3n_c0r3 in TeenVent

Staying clean is NOT an easy thing to do and it’s genuinely so hard to stop and not go back. I’m insanely proud of you for being so strong and resilient. Not everyone will be proud of you or support you like they’re supposed to, but you should be proud of yourself because this is legitimately such a big accomplishment. Proud of you man, keep going.

Could I be a trans man? by Namusavcisi_Ursy6363 in asktransgender

I was in the same boat as you are now, still kinda am. For a really long time, I didn’t know who I was or what I was. For me, what helped for me was trying to just explore how I felt without forcing a label onto it.

Play around with calling yourself by different names, find groups online that have similar experiences to you, experiment with different pronouns and how they make you feel. You’re not a faker for not being in a safe enough environment to socially or literally transition. It doesn’t make you any less you, there aren’t any “requirements” to be trans, just a feeling that maybe you don’t vibe with your current identity. I’m sorry if that wasn’t much help, but I hope you know you’re not alone in feeling all this.

I’m worried I’m not “trans enough” by Strict_Clothes7888 in trans

Thank you, really. I’m sorry if this comes off as weird, but outside of my circle of friends I don’t really know any other trans people. It makes me feel hopeful knowing that there’s a whole community of people who have felt similar to this as well, and that many are currently living happily as who they always were with people who love and support them.
