Is is common to feel awkward at people using your new pronouns?
Hi, I recently came out as non-binary to my friends. My previous pronouns were he/him and I've decided to go by they/them now. I'm still quite new to this identity, I've never really had noticeable gender dysphoria before, just droning unhappiness of being my assigned gender. So I've decided to forgo that label, and I'm content with my decision.
But sometimes when my friends use my pronouns in a sentence or something, I just feel... awkward? Especially if I think they have limited understanding of what my identity means. Like yes, thank you, I appreciate it a lot, I know how difficult it is to change your linguistics instincts, especially in a culture as gendered as mine (we don't have good gender neutral pronouns in my native language). But something about the novelty, the new words, the "yes that was intentional" of it all makes me cringe a little.
So I wanted to get more perspectives, is this a common thing?
