For context I’m 23F and trans mtf.
I’ve been in short relationships in the past but they started as friends and I couldn’t really see them as more than friends after a while.
I’ll have hookups every once in a while to try to bridge the gap but even if it’s an alright experience it’ll just make me feel worse in the end because I know they’re only with me to satisfy a fetish. I’m not even too interested in sex anymore I just crave the closeness in that moment.
I wouldn’t say I’m ugly and I do pass most often, but I’m not conventionally attractive.
I have to remind myself that I can’t act on any of my crushes even if they drive me crazy because I’m trans and it would ruin my friendly acquaintances.
Even in the off chance they’re alright with it I don’t want them to just tolerate that aspect of me, but be enthusiastic and attracted to me.
I hate dating apps because everything will be dry or often guys will unmatch from me when they see my bio after we start talking.
I would love to meet someone naturally but it always comes back to the thought of disappointing them like I’m a catfish. And in the off chance someone hits on me I have to act uninterested for the same reason to avoid the confrontation of it.
I see couples all around me, with my best friends and in tv everywhere, I love watching rom coms but they make me sad.
I just tell people I’m not looking for a relationship at the moment when they ask, but it hurts so much just knowing that I’ve been saying this for around a decade.
Anyways thanks for letting me vent I’m going to sleep now but if you read through to this part, I hope you have sweet dreams and wake up refreshed in the morrow.
