Have any other mtf or ftm people out there come to the realization that starting hrt may have actually made you less emotionally viable for a serious relationship? I've been told I'm emotionally distant, which is difficult to understand when I'm constantly swinging through a wide range of emotions. Probably just really unlucky or autistic, or both. Who knows.
You're mentally ill and shouldn't be in a relationship. Doesn't matter anyway because no one sane would ever remain in a long term relationship with a trans person.
When you're starting out on hrt you are going through a second puberty. It's no wonder you're acting a bit 'off' compared to what people are used to. Think of it this way; it is difficult to stay emotionally viable for a relationship through puberty, no matter when puberty hits.

Are you passing or tweener? Do you have a lot of stuff/stress going on?

I don't consider myself passing, but a lot of people at my new job were really surprised to find out that I'm actually a guy or whatever. I don't feel in between in the sense that I can't decide what I am, but physically I feel like I've put my body into that situation.

Ah. I thought you were ftm. If you're on estrogen this might be your new default. More expressive and less balanced emotions is part of being a woman.

no, i dont know what you mean. I wasn't emotionally ready for a relationship until after I'd been on HRT
either way, if you're questioning on whether you really should be on hrt based on what makes you "emotionally viable for a serious relationship" then something is wrong.

I mean, it stems from just being depressed, which can interfere with many parts of life. I knew that starting hrt wouldn't fix everything, but perhaps I still haven't adjusted completely.
