How does one get rid self inflicted dysphoria?I'm certain that I have no authentic and real dysphoria at all, but I have been gaslighting myself into having it over the past couple of years, and now I can't figure out how to go back to how I was before it all
>>43399451it's over
>>43399536It can't be. I know it isn't. I just have to find a way
>>43399451bumpcan anyone relate, and if so, did you manage to fix yourself?
>>43400134How many consecutive days have you gone without engaging with trans topics at all? Pretty sure that’d be step one, it won’t go away if you keep feeding it
>>43399451Brainwash yourself.
>>43400174zero unfortunately. It's very difficult to stop engaging with it though, cause it's something I'm reminded of again and again no matter how much I try to escape it>>43400247how?
>>43399451no such thing just take your e
>>43400636Operant conditioning. Carrots are more important than sticks. You don't want your brain hating yourself for your past mistakes. That actually reinforces the association. Simply refuse to satisfy the parts of yourself that derive satisfaction from doing trans stuff and give yourself rewards for performing the acts that adhere to the gender identity you wish you adopt.
>>43404507I don't really want to work towards being a man, but I know I have to. I guess I'm just stuck because I don't know how to proceed, especially because any effort I put into building a positive association with being a man feels futile
I gaslit myself since I was like 3 cuz my mom made me hate men, so I ended up hating myself xd
>>43406794if you can't manage to get this to work then its not self inflicted dyphoria and is in fact real
>>43406849maybe I just haven't tried hard enough, am too weak willed, and or plainly too stupid
>>43406822>gaslit myself since I was like 3lol, lmao. You're just trutrans. I'm sorry
>>43409399no i just have trauma
>>43409408please stop it with this retarded cope. You're not trans because of trauma. You're unfortunately just trans and traumatized
>>43410437My mom literally made me hate men, which made me hate being a male. I think that's a direct correlation from trauma to transgenderism
>>43410441If you weren't trans, your mother making you hate being a man wouldn't have made you transition
>>43399451yeah idk, my dysphoria i think has been self inflicted since 12 when i started wanting to be some pretty twink when im ostensibly not that, this spiralled into femboy stuff then tranny stuff. its just a life of wanting to be something im not either physically or mentally. it sucks so bad. i dont know, radical acceptance? i dont want to accept myself as somebody that i dont think cant experience anything good in life.
>>43411217lol it absolutely could do that though if it was severe enough.
>>43411239Untrue cause even if someone got traumatized into thinking they had to transition, if they are cis, they will immediately stop after getting on hrt
>>43411930I wasn't traumatized into thinking I had to transition, I was traumatized into hating myself as a male. So I decided to transition to appreciate myself more, and I did, but I stopped because it was clearly a response to my self hate.Life and who you are is about the decisions you make. HRT isn't a crystal ball that reveals your inner intentions, people who aren't actually trans could stay on HRT for so many reasons. The average person doesn't value their gender expression as much as everyone here does.

>>43399451not a thingtake your HRT, retard
