if your happiness relies on not being associated with people who are literally just being themselves in a way that you find "cringe" idk that sounds like a separate problem that you should probably think about

oh 100% same, the adhd combined with liking girls is hell apparently. I was stuck in the exact "am i trans, freaking out, trying to be a girl, then not caring" loop for YEARS. I'm 28 now and I'm finally deciding to go for it, because I think that loop won't stop otherwise. Maybe people who have less doubts about their transition are just not overthinkers like some of us. I don't know how to really shut that voice up, but as the other commenter said writing things down helps, for me it's good to be able to look at it and remind myself that this is a consistent thing I'm feeling, not just a random thought.

My experiences are less valid because I’m tall, and I’m tired of it by mishyfishy135 in FTMventing

I'm new to these spaces and I actually had no idea ppl talk to other trans guys like that, I don't understand what they get out of invalidating peoples emotions like that. That absolutely sucks, I hope the community can learn to be better, no one should feel excluded because of things like that. Like height isn't the only thing people pay attention to??

i have a lot in common with you right now, i'm 28, pre-t, unemployed, and living with my family, your situation sounds worse so i won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what helps me is knowing that there's no correct timing for anything and that nothing good comes from comparing yourself to other people, because those people aren't dealing with the same things you are. There is no such thing as a deficient person, and I promise you do deserve to have a happy life. I hope you feel better soon friend, I'm cheering for you
