How did you bide your time early on in your transition?

Trooning out is so fricking slow and boring. I'm not going to be a freak and twitterhon it out by immediately coming out while still the characteristics of a man but holy shit this is boring.

How are you handling/how did you handle the start of your transition?

    i came out to my close friends that i knew would be supportive and they indulged me until i had enough changes to actually come out it helped a lot with my dysphoria honestly even if you don’t feel like you deserve it yet it’s nice to be affirmed

    i came out to close friends before i even started transitioning so that i would have ppl to talk to but besides that i just boymoded for like two years everywhere but in school (not presenting as female, just using my preferred name in the system and whatnot while still boymoding physically) since i didnt plan on making friends there anyways. it isnt so bad rly time kinda flies ;pp

      Time does go by fast, I actually just realized I've been on my stuff for a little over a month now.

      Time just feels especially warped for me right now since I'm flipping my entire life upside down all while finishing my degree and doing a career change.

        oo. i hope that all goes well for you !! good luck anon :^*~~
        i sorta feel the same way, although not for any particular reasons like that. these past two semesters felt like an eternity while i was in school but looking back on them now i feel like the last year went by in a month. it's wacky
        maybe i'm just gettin older though </3

      >spend time in nature in 100+ degree weather
      or
      >spend time in nature where it gets pitch black by the time I'm off work at 5 pm.

    i am at the start of my transition. i started aug 1. i think my plan will be to just... like, get really into life. and like, that feels possible now. there's hope. so i no longer feel this existential dread in buckling down on like, things that take time. it doesnt feel like a waste of time, it feels like an investment in my future.
    so basically, yeah. im investing in my future and not thinking about trans stuff anymore (ish. i mean im still on this board lol). that will sort itself out automatically over time. basically, yeah. im getting super into finally living life, now that it doesnt feel like it will be all for nothing.

      WOW this was really poorly worded. im sorry. but yeah. i hope this helps. its kind of like when you're like, in a shift or a classroom or something and you check the time, like that's when you lose, the moment you start actually thinking about that. just think about what other things in life you have to do, and you're fine.

      Honestly same
      Before I started hrt I was unable to focus on literally anything but trans stuff and my dysphoria but after I started hrt I barely think about this
      I can finalky go out somewhere, stop being miserable, develop some hobbies (I already started whittling and will start drawing soon)
      My mental health has dranatically improved, I don't think about suicide everyday anymore
      Oh also I started on the 29th of July

        yeah, its wild. like, idk. while i was in secondary education, its like, the thought of "what will my future be" didnt even cross my mind because i couldnt even conceive one, it didnt matter to me at all, it wasnt worth thinking about. whereas now, its like, wow!! there are so many possibilities, what am i going to do with my life, i wonder, wow, this is so cool and fun!! omg!!! im not slowly deteriorating into something i hate!!! yeah 😀

    im 5 months in and time goes by pretty quickly after the first two months. but dont assume you can always just present male until you dont want to. Especially with these heat waves, you dont want to be wearing sports bras shirts and jackets or whatever.

      ...how long has it taken you to not be able to present male ? thats kind of scary.
