How hard is it to view another trans that has great sucess in transitioning

[Mermaid]

I always just got hopeful... I never got any bad feelings from watching people who had happy transitions, they're uplifting. Not-so-good transitions on the other hand always seemed kind of demotivating, or made me feel helpless...

i find that women that look extremely passible are the ones that get fewer responses, especially if they are gorgeous at the same time, i have been guilty of being jealous of others on this forum and didn't respond to their pictures because i was a jealous bitch lol, but im sure i cannot be the only one that has done that

as for other transitions i found that before i was on hormones i would look to others transition timelines with a feeling of hopefullness, but now that i have been on hormones for just short of 3 years and don't see enough changes in myself i find that i see other transitioners (that are more successful than my self) with a feeling of jealousy and self doubt

then again maybe im the only one that has those problems

Thats exactly what iam taking about. And YOU look thousand times better than me. So try to understand what i feel. And i know it will definitely kill me at some point.

Yes??? And why nobody like my pictures on facebook? Or leaves s feedback here? No reaction means nothing good ..  Thats sooo simple. Getting no feedback means you are far away from any good transition. And thats the truth.

I know exactly how you feel. Most people just think I'm a guy, and when they find out I'm trans they often say they think it's a shame because I look like a handsome guy, which makes me feel even more like ->-bleeped-<-. As if I'm being ungrateful with just being a guy (I don't think I'm handsome at all, honestly).

It's hard to tell when people are trying to make you feel good, or are being honest about your appearance. Both type of replies can be very depressing, even with the best intentions. I try to leave my emotions at the door and take what I can from any opinion, but it's difficult.

I think if people are jealous of other people being happy and doing well in passing they are just bitter and insecure about themselves. I personally think it's great to see other people pass so well, if it makes them happy and their lives easier then I am happy for them

I'm not sure about bitter, but isn't it a given that a lot of transgender people are insecure about themselves? I thought this was almost common knowledge by now.

I'm not unsecure. I'm jealous. Because i'm ugly. People looking at me because i'm looking like a typical trans woman. Masculine, bad hair and makeup. If i could i never would get out of bed or my flat.

Wowww... okay. >_> If you don't want bad makeup, why not learn and practice? It's not like anyone is born with any natural advantages in that department. Same thing with hair, if it's a matter of styling. A lot of people, cis and trans alike, go through a lot to improve their appearance. It takes time, effort, patience, and perhaps money.

I dont need any advices. Did you ever had bad hair? My hair? Come here and try your styles. You dont know what you taking about. And i wrote bad hair, not bad makeup. But makeup at a masculine person looks ugly. Dont matter if its good or bad.

Every person is different, transgender or not, but alot of transgender I have met and myself included aren't insecure in that sort of way. Personally I am grateful of having the chance to transition into my correct body, it's something I've known since being a Child, so it's a wonderful oppurtunity 

I would like to rephrase what I said, not all of them would be ''bitter'' I suppose, and jealousy is more than natural, but people who are actively put off by others being happy goes beyond that. Comes back to the old saying, Love yourself to better love others <3

Your saying that the typical trans person is ugly, has bad hair and makeup? Couldn't disagree more, the vast amount of transgender people I have met, the one's who like makeup and doing their hair that is, do it better than some women do.

Like the user said above it takes time and practice.

Why are you assuming people you have never met don't know what their talking about?
