so i've been having a little bit of trouble figuring out my attraction/feelings since starting HRT.
I having trouble telling how i feel about different people.
eg, i can't tell if i have a crush on someone, just find them attractive or cute, want to date them, want to sleep with them or if i'm really into them OR if i'm just horny and I know I can get some action.
this is really bothering me because I really dont want to be a jerk and hurt anyone.
i'm taking a backseat at the moment and really just going with the flow, not persuing anyone or anything. really trying to keep my feelings (?) to myself.
any advice on how to help myself clear this up?

I had a similar experience although with MTF HRT. Think one feels a great relief and starts noticing things one didn't before and it's very tempting to go a little crazy and act on it.

As a male to female, I'm sorry to say this but, that's just the way males have to be.
Their sexual attraction and desires control them to the point where they will pretty much have sex with any women they find attractive, regardless of their feelings for that person.
They were designed that way to keep reproduction going. That's why almost immediately after a man ejaculates, he no longer wants anything to do with sex, or the woman he is with. Although every man is different and a little more caring than others, but that's pretty much how it is.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you will be losing a lot of emotion and deep feelings on your way to becoming a man.

Your ticker says you're 21 days on T.
Suggest riding it out (so to speak) and not worrying too much about figuring anything out just yet.

Welcome to life with your brain in your trousers! :laugh: Glad I left it too!!
Seriously though, the first few weeks of HRT for any of us can be a bit unsettling. It will ease a bit soon, although given your apparent age I think you can expect to be pretty much as horny as the next bloke for quite a few years.
