I love sleeping, honk-shoo is so goated.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

    This was me for a long time. I was a man because thats what people told me i was. I didnt feel like a man, i kept chasing social markers in the hopes that “oh if i have this social marker (e.g. a beard) then ill feel like a man”. But thats not how it works. As far as i can tell, men feel like men because they are men. I wasnt a man so i didnt feel like a man. I felt like a weird not-man-but-cant-say-woman-for-some-reason thing.

    I’ve always felt so alone for feeling this way. Thank you for your kindness. I don’t know how to be myself. I’ve always been trying so hard to be what other people tell me I’m supposed to be.

          You are mirroring my exact thought process for about 10-15 years. It’s only in the last week I’ve felt like I’m finding a goal, a future, where before I spent basically my whole life searching for people and things to distract me from the empty void. I coped by being self sacrificing and saying I was doing everything for others, but it never went away. Feel free to dm if you want to talk more
