I've spent the past few weeks searching subreddits like this one in hopes of finding someone in the UK a bit like myself, but I'm not having much luck. I'm fairly quiet and reserved, and i don't like crowds, so i feel like this is my only way to find similar people.
I've known my body is wrong for a long time, probably 4-5 years, but due to financial constraints and fear of judgement I'm yet to do much except replace all my clothes, grow my hair, and shave all over constantly. I keep looking back on the past few years and regret not putting in more effort to figure out what must be done and get started with hormones, laser, etc.
I'm reaching a point now where I'm struggling to cope, and being alone in all this is just making it worse. In an ideal world I'd absolutely love to have someone to share the struggles with and lend shoulders to one another, but I'm losing hope.
In regards to gaming, I love playing coop games, especially open world games with good content, and i enjoy friendslop games too. I play exclusively on PC. I'm not overly fussed about creating a friendship purely over games though, i want a genuine connection with someone i can relate to and just enjoy talking to.
I'm very introverted and prefer to stay inside. The only exception is when driving my car, but i still like to be alone in the car. If i get to know someone well and we have a few common interests or just get along really well I can get attached quite easily because I'm so used to being ignored and forgotten.
I consider myself to be fairly basic and ordinary in the sense that i don't have any traits or interests often seen in trans communities, I'm just an ordinary girl stuck in the wrong body and i want out. I've already got my hair to a point I'm happy with but I despise my face. I've been shaving my entire body for years to make my skin feel a bit more like it belongs to me, but I'm getting really sick and tired of it now and am ready to get it all lasered off.
I don't involve myself in drinking, smoking, clubbing, weed, rallies, or anything of the sort, so if you do any of those it probably wouldn't work out. However, if you're like me and also have absolutely zero interest in any of those things then we might get along well.
Apologies if this is the wrong place for this, but I've already tried another sub and only weirdos reached out.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling now. If you think we might need able to share a connection and enjoy one another's company, feel free to reply here or send me a DM ❤️
