Same! I felt comfy enough with myself to talk to people and socialize basically all the time. It's almost a problem now actually how much I try to socialize bc I'm so excited to do it that I put everything else aside if it means I get to yap more

Completely agree! Though I have gotten absolutely nowhere 😭 kinda feels like people my age already have their circles

I can say that happened to me as well. Once I figured out my identity, I started reaching out to others. It's like I finally understood where I wanted to belong, rather than just drifting alone through life.

Actually though. I'm still afraid of people in a sense but I do love just going on tangents about stuff when I'm feeling comfy in the moment since then.

I swear, I know you said your social switch flipped before hormones but about a year into my HRT I went from "Don't Percieve Me" introvert as I usually was to "HEY EVERYONE, I'M GONNA SHOW TITS ON MAIN" extrovert so fast I gave myself whiplash.

For me, it was years after hormones, once i had enough self-confidence built to finaly consider myself a real human being worth as much as my peers, before that i was ghosting at best and isolating at worst and had like 2 friends

The desire to find and share companionship with others makes a lot more sense when you aren't fighting the entire control console of your meat machine

YES. Once I started questioning and internalizing how my assigned gender was impacting my relationship with myself and the world so many things became so much easier and more genuine.

Before I came out Gay I felt I did belong anywhere and could not find a place in a confusing and hostile world. Once I came out I found my confidence and my authentic self, my tribe and my alternative family. Does this resonate with you?

mood as heck, my intense fear of Being Percieved got much less intense in specifically the spaces where i am out

Apply literacy to a post?

This is absolutely a thing. I thought I was an introvert until transition and suddenly, I'm a huge extrovert and need regular social contact or I get depressed
