Not me in the mirror

[typeox1jo]

Well I definately can relate about "What am I"  cause I basically am trying to figure out

WHY i look so different than I feel,, but I'm trying to fix that as best as I can..

 

Anyone else look in the mirror and don't see YOU yet??

I have always had trouble seeing ME as I envision ME.  No matter how much makeup I apply, I can always see the masculine features first.  Sadly, the only way to NOT see these features is to slightly blur my eyes while looking in the mirror or stand back 10 feet from the mirror which is less effective.

Why you look different than you feel is because we "see" the optimal version of ourselves in our minds I guess.  it is human nature to they to be positive.  Keep working on it and you will see the right person sooner or later.  I no longer see the person I was.  I'm not the most fem woman but I see her and that's all that matters.

I have thankfully reached a stage where I can catch a glimpse of my real self on occasions. 

 

When you feel like yourself, your facial expressions reflect that, and the genuine personality shows through.

That’s a tough thing to see. I see me more than I see a female. But I am starting to see me as a female a bit. I think more than that is I see myself as female with my body movement and how I carry myself. But that mirror. She’s a tough one to crack.

Just you wait. Around the year mark I bet you you’ll have to struggle to see the guy in the mirror.

 

That said there are still moments where I experienced dysphoria. The mirror is a harsh mistress at times.

@RithiaAllen I’m sure you are right.
