Breaking your insecurities...

Good Morning Tonya,

Life is not easy. I also have insecurities and the ladies here have really helped me out. I love CDH so glad I found this place. I try the best I can to keep a positive attitude but I will admit that I get kicked a few times and there goes that attitude. I come here and it's like recharging myself. We support each other, love ya, big hugs Katey.

It is definitely a hard thing to tackle and look at it, I mean even outside of this our own insecurities can definitely hold us back and lacking a strong community only makes it worse. This community here and other places definitely helps bolster and embolden us and allows us to take steps to overcome it. And it is worth mentioning that you don't need to overcome all insecurities at once. Never be ashamed of just taking one small step at a time, you'll be amazed how quickly they add up to milestones.

I have never felt so welcomed,(with the exception of my small group of friends who nudged me to be myself) I came here looking for advice and it freely flowed and that’s something you don’t just get anywhere these days. It’s such a wonderful change of pace 🥰

Absolutely, I started my journey just wearing panties, I told my girlfriend about it several years ago and she was very supportive. Then I moved to wearing women’s sleep pants, sleep shorts, then moved to leggings. After about 4 ish years of knowing the group I hang out with on a normal basis I slowly came out to being who I am and their support for me to where I am now and I think this site will help me even more it already has a lot

I’ve been insecure my whole life... a lot of doubt , probably because of what you mentioned... self imposed expectation kind of thing.. and definitely what others expect in this society.... but being in this group of girls has emboldened me to be who I am... at least more often

❤️

I’m hoping to be able to become bolder in time, and I think being here will help with that.

I’m sure it will Tonya, my avatar is a pic of me going on my first drive “en femme” just this morning! I would have never done it if we’re not for the things I’ve learned here and the support!

Well, I’m proud of you for taking that step. And I have to say I love your hair in that pick

Oh thank you! It’s my favorite wig 😂

have a great day! 💖

It looks great on you I would’ve never guessed it was a wig🤩☺️

thanks! 💖

Tonya, you're way further than I'm not sure I could ever get! Being yourself with your SO and friends is such a wonderful and amazing step that a lot of us here have not been able to take. Kudos to you!

Sometimes it takes great courage just to be yourself and you are doing it!

Honestly I got lucky with both, my girl asked me one day when we first got together if I ever had and that opened the door for me on that. With my friends I was talking to the one who does my makeup about her outfit and I don’t remember exactly how it came up but I showed her the thong I was wearing. And one of the guys I consider my best friends asked jokingly if I was “wearing butt floss” and made it obvious he really didn’t care. And it just slowly moved to where I am now. His place is so far the only place I’ve dressed fully. Him, his wife and her brothers and sister, and a few other friends I have that go over there a lot are the only ones who have seen me like that. I love them all so very much for helping me in this journey. I’m hoping the ladies here can help me even more

That is just AWESOME!

I think some of my friends would accept it. A few definitely wouldn't. I have one friend that I know would be a GF (I mean like GG's have girlfriends) and would be my shopping buddy. We'd have a great time with it.  But all of that is moot, because I just don't think I can ever come out to my wife. (And for those that read my accountability post, I'm still not dressing until I have the talk with her.)

Keep us posted on your progress! You're doing great!!
