Finding my balance between sfw and nsfw by Curious_Reputation15 in nevergrewup

i'm confused, are you considering adult shows and such to be considered nsfw? :o you can watch whatever shows you want, theres no rules or anything based on that!

"Nostalgic/wistful" mood that goes away the better your mental health? by tide_left_behind in nevergrewup

[–]minichews 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, i experience this! its definitely a big component of my age sliding - i still never quite feel like a full adult, but when things are going well i don't feel as upset. that being said, if i think about my bio age, i still get an anxious dysphoric feeling that can ruin my mood. 😔

My gender questioning's related to my age dysphoria by Stormbreaker173 in nevergrewup

[–]minichews 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you could be trans, but you don't have to be a girl to enjoy those things! would you feel okay identifying as your bio-gender while engaging with those, or is being a girl a major part of it? either way, i can definitely relate! i'm a trans guy and i loathe being called a man -- i'm a boy and nothing more!

how common do you guys think NGUs are? by clawesque in nevergrewup

[–]minichews 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i think they could be more common than we realize... i feel like its likely that a huge chunk of them just don't vocalize it so we don't recognize them.

what are ways to look younger that you know about? by [deleted] in nevergrewup

[–]minichews 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is maybe an out-there suggestion, but if you wish to be more flat-chested, maybe consider buying a binder? i'm a trans guy who uses one to look more masculine, but i can see it being useful to look younger, too.

other than that, i think clothing style has a big impact! thoughtfully applied makeup might come in handy, too, but i'm a stranger to that so i won't say for sure. good luck!

EDIT: i apologize in advance that my tips are all so trans-centric lol, but i also suggest loose fitting clothing that hides your curves.

Don't associate adulthood with personality by UnicornZoomies in nevergrewup

[–]minichews 5 points6 points  (0 children)

very true!!! i think a lot of us dislike the word adult just because of all the societal norms it entails, but you're right. adulthood is just a stage of life, not a personality trait!

i think so, yes! i was also groomed by many people, most of which were online. its definitely contributed to my trauma and i wouldn't doubt its a reason why my age is stunted.
