I am incredibly jealous of my high school junior friend’s friend group since they’re so healthy and awesome and happy while my high school friend group was a parallel but I had really bad experiences with those people that led me to thinking I wasn’t trans

im 22 and haven't come out/started to transition and I'm just worried it's too late partially because of worry for inevitably having this experience while needing to navigate the 'real world'

I mean if you’re on hrt this could have to do with going through puberty a second time. like your body is literally doing what it would if you were a cis teen.

Nah I know what you mean I don’t feel any different than I did at 16. I never really *feel* like I’m a different person. Idk if that’s normal or if it’s just me. But I def don’t feel as mature as I thought I would

I’m also 22 and have only socially transitioned, I want to start T but it’s been inaccessible to me. It’s never too late to come out and start being yourself. Find a good support group. Good luck friend

Same I feel like not being able to transition almost kind of stunted me from who I’m supposed to be not only socially and physically but also interpersonally It makes me disappointed when old friends tell me I don’t seem that different from a few yrs ago even though I thought I grew a lot
