Fake dysphoria has been plaguing me for almost a year by now, and it's really tearing my life apart. I'm certain it's not genuine dysphoria, because I had no issues with living as a man until it just appeared out of the blue. I still don't hate my face and body in the way a trans person would and can look at it in the mirror without issue. There is no reason for me to troon out, but my mind keeps insisting it's what I've got to do in order to be able to live a fulfilling life. Every time I speak, I think I should voice train, every time I see my face, I think about saving for ffs, every time I see my legs, I think I need to shave, every time I see a woman my age, I envy her and think of starting hrt asap in order to save what little androgyny I have left.There is nothing trans about me though. This desire stems from vanity and I know that indulging in it won't improve my life in any way. I could live the rest of my life as a really cool guy, but these thought are stopping me from doing so. Is there any way I can get rid of them?
>>41003592I've been trying to get rid of my fake dysphoria for a couple of years at this point. Can't even remember what started it all, but I just wish I will one day succeed at freeing myself from it. I've tried not interacting with trans spaces, manning up, socializing more, but nothing has helped, but I'm still hoping I'm missing something which will make it go away
>>41003592Do you have trans OCD perhaps anon?
>>41004010Don't really think so. It kinda feels like it could be TOCD, but the trans thoughts aren't distressing in any way, and I don't show any signs of OCD elsewhere in life
>>41003971I hope you'll find a way to rid yourself of this plague

fake dysphoria isn't real you dimwit
>>41005771It definitely feels like it is fake albeit
Just leave the tranny board and go live your life if your life if your dysphoria is fake
>>41003592check yourself into a residential treatment place nearby you for 30 days (not a psych ward). they have planned activities and group therapies and stuff and restrict access to the internet. see if your dysphoria persists in a more structured environment. if the desire to transition still remains afterward, then just go for it imo. you'd know if hormones are right for you before most changes take place.
>>41007906That's a pretty radical option, but I guess it could be quite effective. Unfortunately I can't afford taking a whole month off just for this though
i hate my fake dysphoria, had it for 10+ years now, gradually getting worse. i was perfectly ok being a cute twink but not i have to become a woman because males dont stay cute and you need insane genetics to not be hairy and disgusting
>>41009172I don't think it can count as fake dysphoria if you've had it for more than a decade already. What do you think makes it fake dysphoria?
>>41003592legit getting a job that made me work outside and get plenty of vitamin D made it way easier to forget that I wished I were trans. you'll ruin your skin and transition a decade later and hate yourself forever, but you asked.
