No misery is a constant there is no relief or joy in my life

It's just the absence of dysphoria. Trans people get it when they look more like their preferred sex, cis people experience it normally

>>43538247
same

>>43538234
Nah. If you're depressed for long enough any relief feels like hypomania

>>43538258
honestly i never thought about this but i agree, it feels so much more right than an unnaturally positive feeling and makes alot more sense, its just the absencse of dysphoria

Gender euphoria is the feeling of indulging your fetish

>>43538324
That actually sounds about right. I didn't believe in gender euphoria at all, but the changes from hrt recently compounded enough for me to finally feel better about myself, and I'm really worrying that it's actually just a hypomanic episode

>>43538504
If it makes you feel better i detrans a few times and its pretty consistently terrible each time. I can almost always tell what my levels are at now because if theyre fine i feel like a human but if theyre bad i suddenly ear beat people with my bitching. The hypomania only happened the first few times. Now its almost exhausting. Like i know my happiness is fragile and conditional

>>43538234
No, it's obviously a childish lack of emotional control. Gender dysphoria is when you don't get what you want and gender euphoria is when you get what you want. Grow up.

>>43538674
Said like a very emotionally stable /mature person

>>43538686
Oh I'm sorry, are you feeling gender dysphoric? Do you want a cookie to make you gender euphoric again?

>>43538234
It is and it does feel a lot like sexual arousal but it is distinctly a different sensation and does not make my pp hard

>>43538258
Is it an obvious feeling?

Yes and no. Like initial transition sure, its really nice when the world starts seeing you how you have always seen yourself. However; that has diminishing returns until it just stops completely. Like nowadays I don't get it at all. I just am, anyone who gets this consistantly for years on end is either not passing and they know it so every little bit helps(not a bad thing, just an observation) or could be a cross dresser 'omg its so hot people call me a girl' type but i think these people ultimately don't last in the long haul of being trans as its less of a innate thing and much more sexual.

>>43538827
What does sexual arousal feel like? (I'm seriously asking cause I'm stupid and hollow)

Yeah. I mostly only experience gender euphoria.

>>43540453
When you drink water, is it an obvious feeling that you're hydrated?

yeah i was gonna say something similar. like my anxiety is "gone" as in it doesnt present socially anymore but i also still have mini panic attacks late at night over thinking the day. like bipolar except at the same time instead of two poles, genuinely happy and interacting while thinking about how i wanna die as a joke but also not really it would actually be a relief this sucks but also this is kinda okay and even nice maybe for the first time

>>43544204
How is it even possible to experience only gender euphoria?
I wouldn't say that I'm as dysphoric as many other trans people, but I still want to die anytime I'm reminded that I'm a man, and this feeling only grew worse after starting to experience even the tiniest bit of "gender euphoria"

>>43540453
Have you ever been awfully sick?
Have you woken, the day after most of your symptoms are done, feeling remarkably steady and wakeful? As if the illness was some kind of mistake, a flood of relief to be free of the headache or nausea?

>>43547503
I think that's a good analogy, at least for me. When my skin finally got softer from hrt, I felt a visceral relief I could've never envisioned

>>43546866
That's actually really relatable. Most days I just feel constantly torn between "I've got to kill myself asap" and "It could be worse. Let's try to live" at the same time

>>43547485
You may have a gender identity close to male, your physical body may always have been feminine-leaning, or you are simply strong enough to ignore it. I identified as non-dysphoric while I was repping but looking back, no, I had it pretty bad. I am a butch lesbian, and this is a fairly masculine identity, so it never made me feel that bad to do boy stuff. But I do like looking like a girl.

I turned out to be a bit of a luckshit, so I get quite a bit of gender euphoria. It feels nice to lie in bed and cuddle my Blahaj and just sort of think about how nice it is to be a girl, or I sometimes spend time making faces in the mirror and just enjoying how I look now. It is NOT sexual arousal, but it feels similar to female arousal. I know it's not arousal because my dingaling stays soft when I think about this and it gets hard when I think about actually having sex

positive feelings are just the absence of negative feelings. For example happiness is only noticeable if most of the time you are really miserable. If you aren't miserable you can't actually know what happiness feels like because you just feel normal
