Remembering - oh btw this is corny - remembering that I'm not like other people, that nobody is like other people, and it's not only painful and unhealthy to compare myself to other people, it's usually inaccurate.

Remembering that makes me feel more confident. I'd probably be suicidal if I ever forgot that for very long.

A good swift kick in the ass from a friend who sees that my self esteem might be suffering a bit.
Sorry, I didn't realize I was on the other side of the border. :) My bad, I rarely know where I'm at anyway

1.) Working out
2.) Sunglasses make me feel bad ass.
3.) Packing sometimes boosts my confidence.
4.) Using the male bathroom for some reason  .
and number 5. .  .
5.) Socializing with attractive women

Working out, clean boxers, and being able to impress both ladies and gentlemen as me. There's nothing that strokes my ego more than charming someone. <--- but I am a terrible person

- Those days when my chest decides to look flat and masculine in just a binder and form-fitting tee.
- Binder, undershirts, and layering in general.
- My sunglasses.  8)
- My piano and music.
- Passing in public with an "all girls" community service group.
- Passing, even when someone knows my name is [insert "extremely feminine girl-only name with no male equivalent" here].
- Passing in general.
- Showing off my skills in random/obscure things like word-searches, pre-calc, and sketching.
- Working out.
- New clothes.

Working out and knowing I pass are two big ones for me.

Very late to the party, but-

Science makes me feel good about myself. I love collective knowledge, and understanding.
Binding. Definitely a big one.
Looking good. I need to look good when I go out, and I tend to have mini-breakdowns if I have a 'wardrobe malfunction.'
My hair. If I feel my hair doesn't look good then I don't feel good.
Books [especially old-edition/old-print books] and tea!

The fact that I recently decided to convert to Reform Judaism which I had been thinking about for 2 years.
Learning Hebrew.
Learning Russian.
Creating my own language-which i gave up on, but i still felt kickass while doing it.
practicing my sfx makeup skills- the one thing im really good at.
learning to drive my car which is manual
stopping on a hill with cars behind me and not stalling or rolling back 50 feet.
getting a job at walmart
getting a y membership
working out makes me feel horrible because my rolls be floppin to and fro but whatev
getting told by my boss i have broad shoulders
my mother moved out so im in the house and its nice and quiet and there's no one to lower my self esteem which she did daily, no more loud music at 3 am , no more drugs- since shes moved the only time i hear incorrect pronouns is when i talk to other family which i rarely do :D
made a duck tape wallet
my facial hair is coming in on the cheeks, within a few months i may have a legit beard
my chest hair is thickening as well as my back hair and sadly crack hair too- its like a jungle that continues to expand
being bald
getting my first tattoo
watching Being Human-havent missed an episode in 2 years since it came on here in america, guess you could say im one of the founding watchers

Talking to important people (people I find important, anyway)& being treated as they treat the other males.

Being acknowledged as "bro" or "man" in the restroom. This morning, for instance, I was in my boxers& had a towel drapped over parts of my chest& a guy from my floor nodded& gave a "morning bro." I used to feel very nervous about these situations but I've found I am read as male 100% so long as there are no parts exposed that bio males don't tend to have.

#1 thing - being with my girl.
#2 - wearing clothing that fits well and looks good - makes me look flat or thinner in the thighs.
#3 - yeah, being acknowledged as dude or bro or man or even on the phone "mr. nichols"

Random guy coming up to me last night and proclaiming loudly "I love your hair, bro". Unexpected compliments from strangers, though rare, are awesome.
