Well, I only connect well with either sober alcoholics, a few trusted Christian friends and prayer partners, and the members of this board. Everything else other than with my immediate family just seems like posturing and bull crap, and there is always an undercurrent of tension there. But not in here, this is where I can really let it out and be me and chatty.
There are also one or two special TS people I talk frequently with on the phone, and it is amazing to me how it is so relaxed and natural, where someone actually gets it, and where their support strengthens me to be able to continue to be brave enough to get through another day without the enormity of who I am and am becoming completely overcoming me.
On the male and female side... no, I have always been the odd person out, I identify as neither and have components of both.
Blessings and love to all here. Really.
