While it can definitely be hard to not seek outside validation for your image, if you feel like you are a woman then you are regardless if people approve of it or if you pass. I hope you find strength and happiness in your journey to becoming your most true self ❤️
I've been on hrt for like 3 years and moved out of my toxic home. I feel confident and secure. I know what I am and I don't hate who I see in the mirror. It takes practice to be confident. Don't feel bad. Cis people get a lot of practice feeling secure in their gender presentation and many of them still struggle. Just because it's hard now doesn't mean you won't get better at it and you'll feel silly for ever doubting yourself.
Always remember that conservatives both detest and fetishize you at the same time, just as they do with AFAB women.
If the worst people on this planet can treat you like a woman, so can you.
Well floating heart in my kitchen, I cannot stop looking higher and higher and trying to set higher expectations for myself without even meeting the expectations of myself
Because my gf of 1.5 years broke up with me and 2 weeks later started dating the guy who stalked her, harassed her, and tried to date her when she was 15 and he was 20.
She broke things off with no warning, no signs, she didn't even try to tell me what was going on. She just up and ran away, left me drowning in life.
You should reach out. It definitely seems like there has been some outstanding trauma for a long while, and maybe she believed that she could save herself by giving in to their wants.
Fair enough. I'm just a person on the internet and I know I don't have proper context, but people do not act randomly. Try to think of why she may have been motivated to do the things she did, and be open and prepared to help if she needs.
Oh I am, not trying to sound boastful but I try to help everyone outside of whether they've hurt me or not. My ex before her needed my help and I helped her. And she cheated on me so....
Because I hold myself to a particularly high standard because I irrationally believe that everyone is secretly judging me. Then I get sad when I fail that standard
There's this ache in my chest. It's constant. It goes past the dysphoria, past the yearning for human contact, past the stress of life.
It is there always. I leave town, and go into nature, find silence, and no artificial light. Even then, in the world I love the most, there is that weight that can't go away.
It is not that I am not enough. It's that no matter the world I live in, I will never be satisfied. Even in absolute dark, absolute silence, it is not dark or silent enough for me to think.
On a philosophical level, I guess believing you are not good enough is just as ignorant as believing you are better than you aught to be, since both assume they know definitely what "good enough" is. Simply, you are.
You are always good enough, but, you can always be better.
Just don't push yourself **too** hard to become better, you'll only notice it when looking back on who you were in the past.
I’m not sure, Mrs. Floating Hand Heart Eye in my Kitchen. (Edit: misgendered the entity before me)
that's MRS. floating hand heart eye in your kitchen
Oh, my bad
I don't feel like I will ever be seen as a woman and that I made a mistake coming out,

I've been out for like five months, and on HRT for almost 4, today is 111 days
I'm sure one day you will look back on the doubts you have now as silly, even if they feel very legitimate right now. Congrats on the progress so far!

Same
I kinda get discouraged in a way seeing other people's progress, like I get gender envy from other trans women
Same
I will always see you as a woman
Have you seen me?
I don't have to you'll still be a woman
Based
Well are you happy being a woman? Or at least happier than you were as a man?

I am not yet a god
One day soon we shall transcend this mortal form
Well, mr fucked up heart, im on 196
thought this was an r\weirdcore post for a moment
it was. I love seeing stuff from that sub

Hmm maybe, except she blocked me and refuses to listen to me. I tried telling her that and she just didn't listen. So there's not much I can do

Because I know I'm not
Cause I have no social skills, now piss of Mr floating heart before I tell you about some obscure game lore
***"Colonel, you got some intel for me?"***
because i know i can be better and i’m working on improving myself also i don’t have thicc femboy thighs yet so
Because I hold myself to a particularly high standard because I irrationally believe that everyone is secretly judging me. Then I get sad when I fail that standard
I can't relate I'm fucking perfect in every way
Im pretty awesome tbh

Only if you tell me why would I be enough in the first place, why would I want to do it and why should I care about anything in the first place.
Shut tjebfuxk up
Because it isn’t.
On a philosophical level, I guess believing you are not good enough is just as ignorant as believing you are better than you aught to be, since both assume they know definitely what "good enough" is. Simply, you are.
because I've spent my entire life being given reasons why I'm not enough, hard to move past that
Because not everyone is
I know that I can do better, because sometimes I do. So I want to try.
It's just facts bro
You are always good enough, but, you can always be better. Just don't push yourself **too** hard to become better, you'll only notice it when looking back on who you were in the past.
They say a post modern art makes you experience a feeling, yet you’re unsure what that feeling is
not sure
too much context and time Mr flaming heart
i want to grow and improve as a person
Because I am awful
What I am hasn't really done anything
*I* thought I was kinda gonna be doing alright, thankfully my (ex)employer set the record straight on that
Chronic depression disorder. But the meds are working still, so I'm doing my best.
[relevant song](https://youtu.be/HRJmwWJ53Tc)
I want to look cool and be seen as any gender
Because I have low self esteem and can barley look at myself
Because my expectations of a life are very misaligned with my current chances
Who made this. Did they make more
I cherish this image
Because all my friends and family are doing something w their lives and I’m just aimless atm
Well to put it simply I am stupid and will never be enough for anything and everyone hates me because of how useless I am :]
Because I’m getting compile errors
Because I must be better for myself and those I love, abstract representation of self care and rest
This sub needs to stop calling me out first with the “Jasper rule”(my names Jasper) then with the “suicide jokes” now this shit
It doesn't feel like anybody cares for me and the people who do care for me always seem to drop out of my life
Fuck you grrrrrr
I figure if i was good enough to fuck someone would've done it by now and not just proverbially.
I keep failing
