A month ago, when my dad mocked my movements and voice while I was speaking to him. It was weird. And it wasn’t until later when confronted that he denied it ever happened and told me that I am seeing things.
A tantrum and a couple hours later he admitted he did do all of it. I even started to doubt myself. Gah

Oh I love that question!
What if it all works out? ✨
This one is so helpful for me, especially when things get really tough. Then it’s easy to see all the negatives, but this phrase shifts my perspective and lets me think of a more positive future 🌟
Woooowww— girl you look absolutely stunning!!! ✨
For those like me who didn’t know what exactly this was about, here’s a video of the incident:
Your curls or your curl iron?? — Forget it, I am taking both! 😄
I have mostly straight hair (it tends to curl at the very end). That awkward flip is my default hair right now 😭😂
Hey, I am sorry that this happened to you! That’s absolutely awful and disgusting behaviour. Fact is, this person doesn’t know anything about you and the way they act is a reflection of themselves, not you. You are valid.
Sending love and huuuugs 🩷
I am excited for you ! You go girl 💖
Okay first off, you’re not being insane by having these questions… those are some totally valid questions. this would stress me out as well. It’s totally okay to feel conflicted about this. Is this something you could check with your doctor or HRT supplier? Preferably this is something you want to get from a qualified health professional.
If I were to guess— it should be fine if you follow a healthy diet. Your body needs energy to grow and maintain itself. It will use it to create new cells, from blood cells, skin, hair, nails to breasts. Reducing calorie intake will make your body work to convert fats into glucose, as a source of energy, in order to keep your body going. So those fats will be used as a source of energy for your body. So by that logic it should be fine? It would be problematic if you don’t have the fats to begin with or if you reduce intake too much and your body cannot keep up at the rate of burning fats. So dropping calorie intake entirely would likely have impact. You need a healthy balance.
Now unfortunately, burning fats is a slow process and this is high school biology at best so take it with a grain of salt. Best to check with a qualified professional. Or if you don’t have the luxury, ask around like you are already doing and find a person previously in a similar scenario. If you do have the luxury please ask.
Hope this helps 🩷

To add to this: Start small if it’s too daunting and go from there.
Sometimes steps you want to take are a bit too ambitious. First try smaller steps to make the big step not so big anymore.
Go and ask your crush out? HUGE STEP. Just talk to them and make small talk, maybe also a bit too big? Send them a cute message on socials or leave a note? Be creative.
What also helps for me is to voice my anxiety. To my friends or to the one you’re experiencing it with. “Okay so I am super nervous” already relieves me from a ton of pressure. It changes the dynamics and creates room for compassion. Let them help you.
Twenty seconds of courage.
Pretend you’re full of confidence and lift yourself up. You’re now the most social person ever existed. You can handle any social situation even this one.
Now, do the thing you want to do and do it for at least twenty seconds. Take your time doing it.
Often it turns out it wasn’t that scary or didn’t go as bad as you thought it would and you can continue doing it. If it does, it’s okay, you tried and that counts too. Practice makes perfect. Also know that how others act is not a reflection of your self worth.
Just a gentle reminder to give yourself some love.

Thank you 🩷 Yes, it was so confusing. It helped that I could share it with my mum and she could relate to the it so much. I don’t think my dad does it on purpose— this mocking, it’s just … part of him? I guess. Can’t wait to move out ^^
