sad, negativity, transphobia, dysphoria, complaining about autism and being pre hrt
spoiler actual congnito hazard shit I'm a fucking removed child. Like actually socially and emotionally stunted. My conversation skills are awful and I have these ridiculous lows. How is anyone supposed to love me? I can't even have an interesting conversation. People will see me as boring, and awkward, and weird. And I am all of those things. A childish, stunted freak.

I'm disgusting and repulsive. I don't see how anyone could genuinely love my body, ever. Maybe settle for it, or look at me as some fetish object. It's awful and manish. So many things from being a man. I literally do not see how I can transition and actually look okay. I don't buy it.

No one loves me and they probably never will. And I can't live my whole life like that.

self harmWouldn't be a fucking eggnog sad post without bringing up self harm would it be.
spoiler bad I want to cut my left arm completely open. I can't, obviously. That doesn't keep my brain from wanting it. :::

spoilerIf your conversational skills are "awful" mine must be abysmal. You're one of the only people I talk to with any frequency and I've never once thought you were boring or anything of the sort. I like your snakes, nerd.

I don't see how anyone could genuinely love my body, ever.

Many such cases, many such transfems asking how their partners can really love them, that sort of thing. Just because you can't see how anyone could love you or your physical form doesn't mean nobody else can. You're gonna be fine.

Try to remember the advice Genderisopsec gave you...

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago (3 children)

spoilerYou are much better at conversation then me. Glad you like the snakes though.

I don't have a red marker or anything. I've already settled on what I'm going to do tbh. Thank you for the reminder though. Always like seeing your comments in my inbox.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

spoilerLMAO WHAT THE FUCK susie-laugh Dear Eggy, you have all of my affection for this. I'm glad you think I'm good at talking at least. Scaly dogs :>

I see, yw. Wish I could advise more, but I'm always happy to see your comments in mine too ✨

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

I can’t remember ever seeing a problem with your conversational skills. I’m probably worse in spite of my incredible interestingness, because I keep pissing off people accidentally and you like never do that from what I can tell.

spoilerPfffffffft I'm sorry what. Look I love Ash, I love talking to Ash, and I mean this in the best way possible, no she fucking isn't lmao. Eggy you're fine at conversation.

I'm sorry πŸ˜” I love talking to you too, and you're great fun to talk to. And you're not terrible at conversation you're just not better than Egg

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wow great stuff, thanks so much. Absolutely splendid really appreciate the fucking accolades.

[–] Seryph@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 months ago

You're right, I'm sorry, that was a shitty fucking thing to say, and the reply made it a lot worse.

[–] gaystyleJoker@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

this is a mean thing to say even if you believe it

[–] magi@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

This is a shitty thing to say.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Deleted, I don't want to hurt anyone in here, I care about you all too deeply and I worry my original reply could have been misinterpreted.

[–] Seryph@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Look being as frank as I can be you have a ton to learn in regards to being empathetic with people and helpful but outside of those contexts you're a decent listener and the few times you do talk about your interests it's nice. But really being a good listener is the most important thing for conversation, the rest can come later. And sometimes just listening is enough to help people empathically, there's a reason I just had a quick little vent in your DMs those few times

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

ohnoes I really try to be empathetic, or at least be quiet if I can't be. I'm glad you think I'm a good listener though, I really try.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

self hateI genuinely feel nothing but loathing for everything about myself right now.
spoiler self harm, eating issues Oh also while I'm fucking up the thread I've eaten less then 1000 calories today and am not eating until tomorrow. I'm not going to change my mind this time so don't waste your time trying to convince me. Just have to say it I guess.

edit again: the sucky thing about not eating is eventually you just start getting less hungry, now even 1000 calories is too many. :::

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Try to strive for 1200 at least, that’s just 200 more I believe in you

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

eatingI'm not going to, I already shouldn't have eaten some of what I did.

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

spoilerWhy tho? what is your rationale?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

spoilerWell I had some chocolate, so that's kinda a waste of calories.

Plus I feel like when I'm hungry I feel better.

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

spoilerI mean if you’ve had chocolate and your still only at less than 1000 that’s even more reason to have something more nutritious.

Why do you feel better when you are hungry?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

spoilerMy nutrition is pretty bad already tbf, I'm sure cutting my calories down doesn't help.
spoiler self harm I mean its basically just a low level, constant self harm I guess. Its not quite as good but obviously doesn't have some of the drawbacks (like scars). Its distracting, and something about pain just makes the mental pain go away. Plus if I'm feeling a particularly large amount of self hate its nice. :::

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Couldn’t you just wear a rubber band on your arm and whip yourself with it?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

self harm, eating, weightI mean I guess, but that's also just self harming. Plus, if I let myself do that whenever I wanted, I'd just end up doing it constantly. Plus I did used to do it hard enough to leave marks, not great to have marks on my arms. And I don't really have a knife anyway.

And not eating has the advantage of making me smaller. Already down some weight in the last few months but the amount I've been eating keeps declining. Need to lose more, some garbage med a while ago made me gain weight and I never lost all of it.

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

spoilerThe key is to build a healthy relationship with food and habits, otherwise you risk developing anorexia or gaining it all back.
Plus it’s better for your health that way.
I can’t speak on the self-harm motivation, but in as far as you are doing it for weight loss reasons I would recommend not going overboard.
