I have noticed I'm not as introverted and have more sass.
If I'm driving my car and someone was looking at me in a traffic queue, before (in male mode) I would feel very self concious and not no where to look. Definately not directly at them.
Now, if I'm in full girl mode (mentally) I will look straight at them and THEY look away!
I think the more I have 'feminised' myself, albeit only very slightly with longer hair, longer fingernails, all body hair removed, toe nails painted, more feminine mannerisms, the more confidence I'm getting. It's like I was REALLY uncomfortable in my own skin before. To a man, what I have done should produce LESS confidence, but I guess that's the point.
I also think that we have to be careful with our on-line personas. I don't think it's healthy to develop an alter-ego as such. When I first created my female on-line persona it was new and exciting but felt slightly disconnected, but as time goes on, more and more things are slotting into place and I'm realising that I actually AM Vicky and slowly but surely I feel more connected to my true female self as the male self begins to evaporate. Hope that makes some sort of twisted sense!! lol.
