I had seen that tweet before this comic but the comic feels pretty accurate to how it went down for me too. The next few weeks of comics were a pretty awesome story as well. Especially the one way he wakes up. That was so me!
Not amazing. Mostly fine but when I was seriously looking at some clothes and imagining myself in the, I felt a little bit like the beginnings of a panic attack over the embarrassment and feeling just silly. 🙇🤦😩
I think about this meme all the time and sometimes want to reference it irl but I’m afraid people will hear it the wrong way. I hear “I have social anxiety, leave me be” I’m afraid others will hear “hurr durr apache helicopter pronouns”
Maybe it’s not the best illustration, but something about that flustered shy femboy anesthetic feels kind of right sometimes. But the I go to the gym and try to bulk up because I do enjoy working out, so 🤷
How old were you when you began questioning/considering you weren’t “normal”? I’m in my 30s and almost all at once feel like I’m not sure what I am in most demensions and struggling to figure out what I feel about anything. I’ve been married, happily for a while, which adds a little to the confusion.
I can relate to some of that. I do have some memories of being uncomfortable about my body and wondering if I was supposed to have been the other and somehow everyone got it wrong when I was born, though whatever age I was, I don’t think trans was anywhere near mainstream and had no idea it existed.
Also, I think it was some egg_irl memes that started the questions. I stumbled onto it and they were kind of funny, until “Wait. Are these too funny?” This being sometime after also realizing I had adhd after finding their memes too funny and relatable.
Maybe I will end up accepting myself the way I was, or not, but yeah it is a hell of a thing. It’s like I was vibing trying to survive life and someone suddenly pulled the fucking floor out from under me.
I grew up with you’re normal, or you’re wrong. And teaching that people just exist have have different feelings about things was indoctrination. I’ve been undoing that for years and thought I had been accepting on some level for years, but maybe it wasn’t enough til now.
