i realize this might be a controversial question. i just had this experience a few weeks ago watching a random youtube video and it keeps popping into my head. im not going to link it or even describe the content because i really dont want to be perceived as even tangentially shaming anyone. i was watching this video and at a certain point i just couldn’t continue watching because a man in the video was giving me serious gender dysphoria.
its hard to tell what exactly was even making me feel that way. i think it was maybe the clothes he was wearing and just his overall presentation reminded me of when i was an egg doing my best impersonation of a man but feeling so incredibly horrible the whole time. ive never really felt that way about someone before but it kinda makes sense as like the opposite of gender envy maybe?
idk maybe this wont make sense to anyone. curious about peoples thoughts.
yeah i actually often feel like other people are not at all happy in their own situation but there’s no way to help them either. i’ve had that my whole life. growing up in a conservative neighborhood, most adult women i knew looked like they were deeply miserable (with a few notable exceptions). stuff just felt wrong in general. maybe they had bad relations to their partner or idk what, some other bad stuff happened. anyways, looking at them always made me cringe. not because of shame of how they acted, but because of sadness of the whole situation. idk whether that’s what you describe.
