but i feel messed up. most of the time. i should have wrote it down first maybe because i suck at this. i don't even like being all "this and that sucks, and it makes me feel" blah blah blah ya know? because guys usually aren't emotional or sensitive in the least. at least not that I've seen. I've had bad examples in manhood anyway so i probably shouldn't think of these certain guys i knew or saw growing up. i usually never tell anyone when i feel like crap anyway because i don't feel safe doing that, confiding in anyone. i wonder why that is....yeah I've been burned (not literally burned, let down) a lot by a lot of people but it's not like I've been verbally or physically abused. hhhhmmm i wonder how many people will read this anyway.
so it's basically, someone calls me girl, she, my female name which is most of the day every single day. that bothers me at varying levels. or if I'm tired or bumped my chest accidentally something just feels very unsettling like something is very very wrong throughout my whole body, head to toe. as if i were shaking but I'm not. i want to scream at people and tell them off, smash things. if someone were to ask me why i wouldn't be able to give them a real answer. i ask myself and i don't know.

maybe just because i haven't started transitioning yet and i need to.
and living at home with a parent who has the worst attitude ruins any good mood.
not being able to go anywhere whenever
no friends that call, come over or take me out anywhere ever (that reminds me of the song from RENT "take me out tonight")
though there is this one guy, we text and fb message :)

but i really really hate that unsettling sensation. i don't even know if it's depression or anger. it washes over instantly and can stay for a few minutes or a whole evening and I'll want to just go crazy and explode. i think of punching a wall but that would destroy my hands and i need those. I'm here too late and that might seem weird.

i don't know what response to get from this. just complaining. I'm trying to reach people who doctors office secretaries give me numbers to but can't get them to be there in they're office or to call me back. outlooks don't look good for anyone needing to transition. the costs, lack of money, lack of jobs good enough to be able to save for all these things. the way society is. we're not liked, we get discriminated against, shunned, stared at, sometimes recorded in public, some are still getting assaulted. gaaah i shouldn't think of that stupid negative crap. makes me think "am i really going to be able to pull this off?" and that i definitely want to avoid at all costs. meh, sorry folks this was pointless rambling :'(

Sounds like what I went through feeling wise as a teen and until about 30. It quit when I made the decision to transition.

I never worried about pulling it off, it was just going to happen whether others liked it or not.

I get the same feeling when I'm around people who treat me or refer to me as a girl.  It also happens, as you said, when I see my chest or run into it, and it feels like I've been punched in the gut.  Other days I just can't stand being in my skin.  What I've found is that if I can be away from people calling me a girl for a day or so, I feel a lot better.  Going for a run or working out helps too.
Oh I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love

I've wanted to get weight lifting, workout stuff for a while, it looks so cool in stores. I'll do that...when i can afford to. i unfortunately can't get away. i live in the same house as the person who calls me a girl and my female name and everyone at work does too. so it's going to keep being back and forth mediocre to bad and back again until i can get out of here who knows when I'll have enough saved for that considering my lack of insurance, how much gt might cost, T cost, saving up for first car...i don't want to be shooting down your encouragements but i do get what you mean.

I'm fairly broke too.  Luckily I have my school's gym, but I just have a pair of hand weights at home.  They're fairly cheep and work for a lot of different things.  Also, if you're into it camping can be a nice, cheep way to get away for a bit.  Goodness knows we have enough to save up for as is.  I hope you find something that helps.
