You might not be wrong, but put this post back where it came from even if you aren't:,(I have no idea, but it happened
She really is quite self defeating. This one sentence says so much about her in so little space.From what I see, she moved back in with her parents (who she apparently hates), and refuses to work, except for art commissions.
:autism:we are more or less his only RL friends, he'd always tell us of these things, whether we wanted to know or not.
You're pumping an otherwise non-existent hormone, into a body that runs more or less on the delicate balance of every hormones working together. Being mentally unbalanced sounds like the least worst thing to happen. The physical effects of such treatment long term remains to be seen.:autism:
For some reason, estrogen does fuck around with mood in some men. Wish I could know where to look for a why, but it does happen.
If you truly love someone, you have to let them go. Sounds like he lives just to suffer.I sincerely hope he hasn't hung himself yet. I don't want to see the man who gave me hope die like this.
Pussy. Find the gals who still exist and support those bitches and dick them if they're receptive. You have to try harder, not be discouraged.I'm reporting this thread for ruining my tomboy fetish.
I hardly cry at shit but you got me misty eyed too, as well as pretty much all farmers who've read your post. Thanks for being a chad to your second dad. I'm sorry he has to bury his son early to someone else taking over his personality: no one should have to bury their child and watch as someone else walks around in their body. Glad you are there to support the rest of the family as well (and them to you!).I think this is it. I plan on taking a week or two to gather my nerves and finally cut him off. But I am sure as hell not gonna cut off that family. They're my family too, and I'll be damned if they lose another son.
It is. I always wondered if I would see a cult happen in person, and I guess I am.Now I'm sure this isn't indicative of every trans person, but what really makes me uncomfortable is the alarming speed at which the entire process occurred. And it really does feel like losing someone to a cult; the hallmarks are all there: emotionally vulnerable, support network telling them who to talk to and who to cut out of their lives, the dependency on drugs. And the constant re-affirmation to anyone who will listen that they are "out and proud about their identity" when it reeks of desperation and bluffing to hide their own insecurities. Trying to get affirmation from complete strangers and "the crowd" is always so short-lived and insincere.
A minor update to my story:
I haven't spoken with my best friend ever since I first posted my story, however long ago that was. I miss him, but everytime I get tempted to reply to the many messages he sends, I remember that it isn't the loveable bastard that I grew up with, it's just a depressed man in a skirt bringing our entire mood down.
Today I visited his dad again just to check on him and he did something that made me cry when I got to my car. We sat and talked for a long time about everything we could, trying to gloss over the subject of his son/my best friend. I told him that I haven't spoken to his son in a while, and he said he's done the same. Then the old man got teary eyed as he asked if I miss how my best friend used to be. I had to wait for the lump in my throat go down as I said yes. He asked if I planned on stopping being his friend, or having any contact with him. I struggled to meet his gaze, but he deserved me to look in his eye as I said yes.
He just nodded and said no shame in giving up in a lost cause. He went silent before patting my knee and saying I'll always be family to him. I gave him a hug and told him that he was a second father figure in life to me. He asked if he could call me son and I told him it's never stopped him before and hugged him. An hour or two of chatting later I'm ready to head home, and he stops me. Disappearing into a room, he comes out with a guitar case. Said he meant to give it to his son, but since he trooned out and guitar playing gave him "gender dysphoria", he didn't want anything to do with music. So he gave it to me. I manaaged to say goodbye and hug him before breaking down in my car.
I think this is it. I plan on taking a week or two to gather my nerves and finally cut him off. But I am sure as hell not gonna cut off that family. They're my family too, and I'll be damned if they lose another son.
Weak-minded people are usually this way.Something I've always noticed is that he's very judgemental, easily annoyed, and always serious
Strong-minded people actually want to listen.he didn't want to be lectured, just validation.
Yes, but the death of his dad was the last straw.Do you think these are also related to underlying issues that made him troon out in anyway, though?
Sounds like an alcoholic narcissist I know. Not saying he is a narcissist, but he has traits of it. He seems completely self-involved, perhaps his dad was the one thing keeping him grounded.but there's a feeling that the guy doesn't really have much ability to care about people deeply and see people who are not in constant competition or showing emotional vulnerability weak. ...
At one time he almost broke up with his girlfriend because he said she's too depressive and not keeping up enough.
I can't completely armchair diagnose this but my guess is that since becoming a workaholic he's felt less happy and had an identiy crisis yet refused to see what the fuck was causing him to be upset, and since he couldn't drop work because of whatever reason he started bringing his fantasy world to reality. The identity crisis might have been kicked off by his dad. Maybe he became prickly and focused inwards after that hurt him. Guess is in bold because without knowing him I couldn't tell you for certain, this is writing a backstory for someone I don't know. He seems to be trying to diagnose and treat himself without a therapist imo, becoming trans to avoid dealing with other issues and being more of a dick because of his workplace habits and culture and possible new troon friends.Not sure if anyone remember my story from main tranny thread about a 'honest AGP' friend who used to role play as women online a lot and eventually admit to me of wanting to troon out because becoming a woman is his fantasy (in his word). Now he's officially a non-binary (as if it matters anything in my language) and on HRT for a while.
Something I noticed is that since the death of his dad, he became very judgemental, easily annoyed, and always serious. He is generally "level headed", as in able to keep himself stay matter-of-fact and from being vulnerable... but there's a feeling that the guy doesn't really have much ability to care about people deeply and see people who are not in constant competition or showing emotional vulnerability weak. Basically he became workaholic sociopath some years before trooning out and it's getting harder for me to talk to him. At one time he almost broke up with his girlfriend because he said she's too depressive and not keeping up enough. There might be somewhat of that trait in him to begin with, but it seems to get more unbearable each years, him trooning out seem like the last straw.
I feel quite guilty to drop him because at one point I was the 'weak' one who went to him for help when I was at low point of my life... he could be insightful and helpful with a lot of work-related things. And I don't want to hurt his feeling because he seem to trust me a lot too, seeing me being one of the first people he can confess personal things. But it seems like we've grown apart a lo with incidents such as the time when he 'came out' to me and wanted inputs, I told him that he should think through it a lot because I don't think anyone should be quick at 'identifying' as a certain gender and it's fine to be GNC and leave it at that... then he's annoyed because he didn't want to be lectured, just validation.
Do you think these are also related to underlying issues that made him troon out in anyway, though?
