I know the OP has responded negatively to every suggestion... and honestly, the suggestions given have been really wonderful. But only when the OP is ready to listen and take them to heart will they even potentially do any good.

That being said, let me throw a few more into the ring.

First of all, you will never be treated by others any better than you treat yourself. Meaning, if you continually disparage your appearance and say that it's impossible for anyone to see you as a female... you're creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It starts with you. You need to get to a point where you're ok with how you look. Where you see you as the unique woman that you are. Women, after all, come in all different shapes and sizes. Sit down in a mall, or park, or anywhere where it won't be to creepy and people watch for 30 minutes. You'll see all manner of looks of woman all up and down the so-called masculine/feminine scale.

And once you're ok with you... you just have to go out into the world with confidence. If you feel like every one is looking at your judgementally, you'll give off that vibe and people will start to, well, look at you somewhat judgmentally. But if you just live your life? People will just live theirs. They might notice you for a split-second. They will pick up on your clothes, your hair, your makeup, or some feature and make a judgement. Some will make a judgement that this person clearly wants to be treated a female and treat you as such.

And for those who see that and STILL treat you otherwise? There's a special level in hell for them. Feel an ounce of pity and move on.

I guess what I'm saying is, you first need to see the woman you are in the mirror...flaws and all. And then bring her into the light.

Love,

Quote from: ChrissyRyan on July 18, 2024, 07:15:36 PMNothing wrong with wanting to be beautiful of course; but life goes on if we are not gorgeous.

You are all beautiful. Every single one of you. You are all gorgeous. Within each of us is a shard of the most beautiful thing the universe ever created. Sentience. Some take longer to see that than others, and some never do, sadly. But never ever think you aren't beautiful because you don't look a certain way based on a set of standards put down by others based on physical attraction.

A big step for me, in dealing with life, is accepting that there is no "want to be". There's just an expression of what is already there. You are beautiful because you are you. In every flawed, vulnerable, searching, tender, hopeful, empathic, magnificent way.

Chrissy, you talk about being average in looks... but sweetie you are very, VERY far from average in every other way. Physical attractiveness to others is destined to be a race you run until you can't run anymore. It's something people desperately try to grasp, and hold onto for as long as they can. It's mostly subjective. Changes on a whim. It's like trying to hug a ghost.

Beauty comes from within. Beauty comes from how brightly you shine as a person. Who you are, how you are. We are remembered most not from how we look, but from the effect we have on those around us.

And I can honestly say, Chrissy you are one of the most gorgeous women I think I've ever met. :)

Above all... remember: you are beautiful, you are valuable, and you have a shining spark of magnificence within you. Don't let anyone take that from you. Embrace who you are. <3

I have never seen pictures of @ChrissyRyan but I don't need to. Her positive energy, kindness, and compassion shine through with every post.

Wow, thank you for your kind words.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.
