Slight dysphoria warning (not sure if that's a thing here but I know it is for other subs).

I am currently 6 months and 1 week on T and I feel so behind compared to other people. I'm 19 and have always been read as younger than I am due to my voice and face. I have really feminine features. I want to pass so badly and I see other people around the same mark as me and they either pass great, have a great voice, or both, and it makes me feel like I will never pass in the way I want.

Anyone who was in a similar situation as me, did you see any changes in yourself in the face? If not, what did you do to fix it? I can't pick a weakest point for me to work on because honestly its everything. I have big round eyes, a button sloped nose, and pretty big lips. I'm really upset and don't know what to do. I know facial surgery is an option but I'm young and not even a year on T yet and don't have the funds so its not an option, but seeing other people on 6 months look passable is killing me

By this, I mean if anyone in here has had a good experience doing a language class online rather than in-person.

I am a community college student and I live about 30 minutes away from campus. I've been doing asynchronous online classes for the last year. I have severe anxiety issues and going on campus isn't ideal for me (though I'm working up to it).

I want to take a Chinese class but I'm wondering if it would still be decent doing it online, or if I should just do it in-person. I would love to be able to stay home but I know language is difficult, but would it be too difficult to do it online? If anyone has any experience with foreign language classes, both in person or online, please let me in on your opinion! Thank you :)

I have a friend that I love dearly, he has BPD. He tends to overshare, tell me when he had puked/is puking, is crying, when he breaks down, gets jealous at me when I mention my own friends or he sees me talking to my friends. Despite this, he always wants to talk to me on the phone and play games with me. I'm bad at consoling though I try my best, but I feel awkward when we get on the game after the dumps everything on me. The thing is, too, when he initiates a conversation about his feelings, I reply seriously but then he sends something unserious, probably to break the tension or whatever, but I don't appreciate it.

Any way I can overcome the awkwardness?
