I don’t know if I’m trans or just looking for attention/affection

r/

Part of me thinks I’m just transitioning so people will talk to me and tell me that they’re proud of me. I’m so lonely and affection starved that I think I’m just lashing out. I crave validation because I don’t get any from anyone. It’s incredibly, incredibly depressing. My entire life people have always picked others over me – and the former love of my life told me that being away from me was like a weight being lifted.

I don’t know what to do.

    That doesnt sound like dysphoria. Instead of getting on hormones maybe just crossdress? Just a thought. You do you. Good luck

    It would have been absolutely clear if you found attention and affection before transitioning. And even after all that if you still felt like transitioning, then the story would be different. But now I don’t know
