Are there any signs or clues which can tell you that you’ll develop reverse dysphoria in the future? Eg. like sandwich did How do you know if you genuinely have dysphoria? Or if it is just something resembling dysphoria caused by internal beliefs?

these are just ocd thoughts ngl, it’s completely pointless to think about. Just follow your base-desires in the moment. You still want to be a woman right now? You still want to take estradiol right now? Then work towards those things.
Yes I do, but I’m not feeling much dysphoria rn, just indifference. I make stupid posts like this when I don’t feel it. And I don’t feel it when I’m not thinking about it or not being reminded about my body/sociality. And that happens when I’m on my pc, phone or in general being distracted from myself. I just came out to my sister yesterday and it is making me doubt myself so much. What if this is not real? Am I really going to commit to this long process of transition? I mean I want to. But it feels so weird, like I’m chosing a big path in my life, like these thoughts are actually slowly becoming reality and not just torment in my head. It feels so weird and unreal.
Waow congrats on coming out!!
Sometimes I feel indifference too, in the same way when I’m distracted. I think this is just how the mind works. If you got in a car accident, dysphoria probably wouldn’t be on your mind. The brain naturally shifts attention to stimuli, kind of like how you can hear one person conversing in a cocktail party even if there are 100 other people talking, or how if you cut your finger you can poke your fingernail into your skin and you don’t feel the cut as bad.
The thing is, it will always come back. And you don’t want to risk detransing on the 1% chance you’ll later get reverse dysphoria. It is a major life decision and the path ahead will be difficult, but we both know that transitioning will make you happier. It will all be worth it in the long-run. I believe in you Fuwarei!
Yeah I always think it is over or that I’m getting better, but it always comes back and crushes me.
Idk how I can give advice like this to others but I never follow it myself and I go right back to thinking I’m faketrans. Truly the dumbest
real and same😔
