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?

Being in the same situation, I wish I could say something like "just do it. If they don't accept you it's their loss", but it's scary. I know.
I only recently came out to my best friend, one of my sisters (who I knew would be supportive) and online friends. I feel like that's a good start because it makes me more confident the more people support me.
When you're ready, I suggest you start that way too.
However, first thing you need to do is accept yourself. There's nothing wrong wirh you, it's the world that's at fault for being uneducated and small minded.
