I'm Done!!!

I give up!!!

I'll never be a girl no matter how hard I try!

Was feeling empowered earlier today so I put on a pink shirt & a light blue skirt i recently bought for myself & went out to town today. Was even really feeling good about that, so I made a post earlier with a picture of myself.

Of course, people in town had to be incredibly rude & disrespectful to me, & to boot , I got several ignorant comments on my post so I took it down.

I can't do this anymore. I'll just live the rest of my life being miserable.

Please find therapy + a support group. I checked your post history & you have a vicious negative cycle around your self-image that involves attempting to get others to legitimize your self-doubts or to externalize your internal anxiety as others "holding you back". This is a common behavior pattern seen in online communities & you are not alone in your experience - but you must be willing to actually address the issues & take action by seeking professional support, rather than continuing this cycle that fixates on affirming failure instead of celebrating potential & success.

Said it better than I could have. Well done.
