Questioning if I might be trans?
Apologies if this isn't the right place for this, I wasn't sure where else to say this.
As the title, I'm just unsure if I might be trans, or something? I'm not really good, neither familiar, with anything of this stuff as it's all rather unknown to me. The reason I started honestly wondering this is I just, I guess I saw something that made me ask that about myself last night? I don't really remember what started it, but I remember just, sitting around for like 4 straight hours legitimately wondering if I might be, and seeing what others have said.
I guess I still just don't really know if it's that I might be trans, or that I don't conform to what a man is? I don't know. I've known for a few years that I was different in that, I didn't usually like or do things that other guys do. I never did, and only ever really did things to fit in with others around me.
I've always liked things like clothes, long hair, scented candles, going shopping, calligraphy, I've always wanted to have girl friends and I think I remember a long time ago when I was a kid that I was curious what it would be like to be a girl (this was well before what I even knew what transgender stuff was), and I think I sort of wanted to be one? Maybe? I don't really remember, but I just know that I stopped thinking about that for awhile, and I guess maybe it's sort of resurfacing now?
I think I might have some level of Gender Dysmorphia I think it's called? Again I'm not really familiar with this stuff, but I think this is what's pushing me to ask this, and be more confident with asking this if that makes sense? Because this is something that I know I have always felt my entire life, but I just don't know if it necessarily relates to being trans I guess?
I don't know, I guess it's that I feel really lost with all of this. I feel like there are things that could be signs, but I sort of just look at those and go "that's just me though, I just do those things." This has kind of been eating me up all day ever since I started thinking about out.
