self harmI like mirrors. I have three in my room and plenty of others around the house. ~~Do not utilize two to observe your own back and shoulders.~~

kel-sad I thought my build was better than that. Why have I never realized how big I am. I guess I don’t identify with my body anyway. I see other people outside that look kinda like me and think about how bad I’d feel if I were them.

Would I care about stuff like this if my label was just NB and not trans-fem? I don’t feel much gender inside of me, but I fear other people will put me into a binary box no matter what, and all I want is to not be perceived as male.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

It's understandable to be more worried about other peoples assumptions. Personally I don't care what other people think.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don’t care much. I also feel kinda divorced from the world and if I wanted to enter society it would be difficult. In a vacuum I like myself. Alas, hell is other people.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't feel part of society eirher but when I'm forced to interact with others it can be tricky with the autism.

I do have a personality that can pull me through but it can be RNG and depends a lot on the other person/people I'm interacting with, how comfortable I am.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I’m decent at interacting with people. I can always find things to say. However, depending on my mood and who I’m talking to I will talk excessively or really not want to talk (adhd).

I like being somewhat social but (what a shocker on this commie site) I am at war with the dominant society and its expectations.

I haven’t looked in a mirror in 3 or more years

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have to do it for makeup, or else I'd NEVER. There was a good stretch there without seeing my face, that was nice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That’s the thing that is keeping me from doing makeup

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I'm able to focus JUST on my eye for eyeliner or shadow if I'm feeling fancy. Which is enough. I don't do the whole contour thing, that's cursed cause you have to actually look

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Now I feel like I’m over exaggerating to garner sympathy and fit in. ooooooooooooooh

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Mirrors and lighting are generally not in the correct positions around the home so they can give you a distorted view.

They are also rarely perfectly flat

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, usually the imperfection of the mirror makes me look better proportionally. I’m not at home.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean generally the mirrors will be at awkward angles and they also flip the image so it's rarely perfect

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Sure, but I doubt there’s a more accurate view of my back. No, your attempts at consultation do not work on me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Idk if this is why I’m a big shirt small shorts queer or why I’d rather be a small shirt big pants queer and don’t know how.
