I don't belong

I am the person who constantly argues how being trans and being queer is normal, how it doesn't make us a different species...that we are normal human beings with difference preferences and choices than what society accepts as normal. But I am a hypocrite because at least twice a day I look in the mirror and I wish that I didn't feel this way, that I could be a normal 16 year old girl or boy who could just worry about exams, crushes, college and could go and chill out with their friends. But instead I am too scared to accept myself. This whole thing about 'being unapologetically myself' seems like a scam because how do you be yourself when you can't even look at yourself in the mirror without breaking down?

[i][c=BF0080]Try to find who you are or who you want to be and accept it, don’t worry about what other people think. Try to be what makes you happy. If you’re not hurting anyone, it’s none of their business. When you look in that mirror, keep telling yourself what you tell others- you deserve that same respect ❤️ [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 You are SO right, I spent the entirety of my adult life worried about what others would think of me, not that it made me miserable as I accepted who and what I was even if others never could. Sound advice and thank you! 🙂
