TLDR: I'm questioning my validity as a trans [girl?] a lot lately and it has to do mostly with my environment and a weird subconscious coping mechanism.

So the aforementioned coping mechanism is when really don't wanna be *me*, so my brain says "ok so be that guy over there" and kinda steals their mental condition; idk it's weird but it helps to pretend I'm someone else and I think this is also connected to being an empath but I digress

This compounds with the fact that there are a lot of very big drill team kids and very manly men and military veterans and all that jazz in my proximity, so I tend to be using their states a lot in order to numb myself.

I came to realize that this was connected when the empath thing did a 180 and gave me the euphoria from a trans girl who just came out and that was *so* good but it also makes me think that I'm just stealing that from other people and that I'm misguided

gods I sound ridiculous but I'm not bsing on my life
