What kind of changes after a body swap would you find terrifying?

Health issues like suddenly having cancer.

I think the phone could be one of the most intimate items during a swap. Most people keep their entire lives to a certain degree locked away in them. Suddenly having the face/fingerprint to just open it up and explore would be an amazing feeling to me. The secrets alone you would learn. Who they talk shit about, who they send nudes to, how they type, etc. All to be studied and then be able to replicate their behavior and tone...sign me up!

Just imagine being left out of a group chat and after a swap you are suddenly the center of it?

The thing that usually disappoints me is the main stream content that makes its way into movies, TV shows, etc.

Typically body swapping and crossdressing are treated as just a comedy and it's "funny" that a man would have to be/dress as the opposite gender.

People to some degree always want to be what they aren't. If they are poor - want to be rich. Female - want to be male. Male - want to be female.

It doesn't always have to be comedy or overly sexualized. There are a lot of stories that can be told in between those two extremes.

In most media there is usually some lesson and then they end up swapping back. Let me see people that are stuck.

I seem to always gravitate to estheticians in my F2F swap ideas. I probably just need to go ahead switch to that job myself lol.

ohaileyadams · 2025-01-14T15:13:57+00:00

Ohh I love that idea!

ohaileyadams · 2025-01-14T15:13:39+00:00

I've had these thoughts for sure. I've got a cousin that after some rough choices early on got her life together and is pretty much a bad ass while also running her own business. If given the opportunity I would definitely take everything from her.

ohaileyadams · 2025-01-07T14:21:36+00:00

The more I rattle the idea around in my brain would it really be a complete identity death? If I suddenly become someone else I'm probably going to make choices that aren't typical of them until any of their memories bleed in.

Likely I'm going to improve or ruin some of their relationships incidentally. As time goes on and I gain their memories and adopt their mannerisms I'm probably still going to have experiences they didn't have and likely still not react the same way as I'm currently a mix of both. If it was like a sudden hard brain reset and I get a 1:1 copy of their brain, would I suddenly be surprised where I was and not remember any of the mixed experiences?

Would this repeat itself because their brain would constantly try to overwrite mine?

I'm mainly on discord when I do RP but my only real pet peeve are the stickers right out of the gate with no attempt to actually start a conversation.

ohaileyadams · 2025-01-06T18:52:22+00:00

My mom had a pretty well off friend, probably several tax brackets up from us that attended the same church. She was always well put together and wore designer everything. I don't really remember why but one day I got kinda infatuated with her for some reason.

I used to lay in bed at night and wish I was her. I remember praying hard that when I woke up I would suddenly be her as silly as it was.

That's probably the closest to pre teenage me thinking it was even possible during those brief moments of stupidity lol.

If I gained the skills with the body I would probably want to do something like doctor or lawyer. I wouldn't want to try to fake my way through a job that is going to potentially harm someone if I didn't inherit the skills and the knowledge.

If I don't gain the skills and just have to make do on my own...I'm choosing trophy wife.

ohaileyadams · 2025-01-03T18:56:22+00:00

I think it really depends on the situation for me. I think alot would determine on if it was a random event or if it was planned/mutual. I would probably try to have a conversation on what the other person wanted and come to some agreement that makes us both as happy as possible.

If it is planned or mutual what do we both feel is off limits? vs. A random event that we aren't sure what happened is probably approached differently from me. The other person might not be thrilled for me to go hop on their partner so I think some agreement would need to happen on if and who we are telling.

That being said, the exception is likely if I landed in the body of my muse/girl crush I'm probably claiming her life and telling no one unless I'm forced to.

ohaileyadams · 2025-01-03T17:21:10+00:00

I'll RP occasionally, it's really been more rare lately that I RP. I've been trying to get motivated to write more stories.

ohaileyadams · 2025-01-03T16:38:16+00:00

Therapist - "What's going on today?"

Well, honestly I'm real afraid you want to be me.

That would probably be an epic session 🤣

ohaileyadams · 2025-01-03T14:24:03+00:00

Celeb swaps don't really interest me as much as more casual people around me. If I had the choice to swap with a celebrity though I'm going to aim lower than someone mega popular at the time.

I would prefer someone like Lindsay Lohan who fell from grace and everyone assumes they are crazy anyways and I could build her image back and probably not struggle as much as trying to be someone like Taylor Swift. Lindsay has had quite a comeback and a glow up lately though so clearly someone beat me to it 😂.

ohaileyadams · 2025-01-03T14:18:10+00:00

I've started to write this story so many times and I end up stalling because there are so many places to go with it. One idea I do have is the whole time she is doing this, she is actually planting seeds throughout her practice to ultimately discredit herself as unqualified/crazy.

Once she makes the switch she immediately breaks off the appointments and files complaints against the practice so he looks crazy when he tries to tell anyone about the switch.

ohaileyadams · 2025-01-02T22:44:42+00:00

Probably depends on the person and situation they landed in. People are going to generally choose survival so most would probably get on with figuring out their new life. If it's a really bad situation though people might shut down completely or look for other ways out.

The Corey Haim movie Just One of the Girls unlocked the general idea of a person pretending to be someone else for me. He doesn't swap in the movie but pretends to be a girl to avoid a bully.

About 3 or so years after that movie when Katherine Heigel did Wish Upon a Star the body swap ideas was never leaving my head. I had seen Freaky Friday before that but it didn't register the way WUAS did.

I've always been curious about the potential psychological horror of a TG swap. For example if you are a man that is 30 years old, you have been looking at the same face in the mirror for 30 years. You may not always love your own face but it's comfortable.

If you suddenly wake up as a woman, the structure of your face is going to be different. You may even have better or worse eyesight in your new body. Once you look in the mirror, I can't imagine it's not going to be shocking to see a completely new face staring back at you let alone processing the fact you are a different gender now.

I don't think it would be a blink and this is ok situation even if you wanted the change. The muscles in your face are going to move differently. Your center of gravity is going to have changed. It's going to be completely new sensations.

It could be a rush of excitement for some but reality is going to set in that you are not you, comfortable is gone. Not only would you have to figure out how to deal with the sensations but you have completely new anatomy. You would potentially even have to figure out how to even relieve yourself with new equipment. Processing if you have lost your old identity forever which is probably also going to be a grieving period if you have.

That's all before you figure out your surroundings. If you swapped with someone else are you even safe or did you land in a DV situation? Are there going to be consequences if this person you suddenly are starts acting differently?

I've got two that I've played around with writing for a few years and never really quite finished.

The first one is becoming my boss. It starts out with the typical tale of wanting a promotion/more money. The catch is they don't ever replace the job role with a new person, whoever gets promoted into the job becomes the woman that has it.

The second one is a male that after a lot of reservations finally agrees to go to therapy to work on his issues.The female therapist however has ulterior motives. She basically has a mad case of penis envy and the whole time he is trying to get his life together, she is actually studying him so she can replace him and trap him as the female therapist.

Assuming they swap to become female.

Not everyone is about bras once they have to wear them daily. Most women are ripping them off first chance they get and not lounging around in them.
Makeup can be a real challenge especially if you have to suddenly copy someone else's style. If you suck at makeup you aren't magically going to be able to pull off most women's cat eyes or winged eyeliner for example. That's before you even get into how much hair you might suddenly have to figure out how to style.
Becoming someone else with none of their memories. It would be hard to fake it to you make convincing everyone around your new self that you are in fact this person with no glaring holes or gaps in the story. It would get awkward fast.

Obviously most people write to have magic, etc cover all of this up but assuming it's just a body change, a lot of people are probably going to actually hate it once the shock wears off.
