If possible, I would definitely recommend transdermal patches! I'll be super honest, injections aren't for everyone. My previous self had done IM injections when I was into bodybuilding, and it slowly became a huge stressor for me. I dreaded it every time I had to do it- beyond just the physical prepping, there was the mental aspect which got so much worse after a bad pin- nothing crazy, just nicked a nerve and my quad muscles spasmed like crazy. All that said, I do believe that sub-q injections would be way less stressful and a bit more convenient. I think it just comes down to how you feel about needles (which you can mentally train yourself to get more accustomed to) and how prone you are to trauma/PTSD (bad pin or injection site issues). As with most things, it all gets easier over time.

You'll find that in queer culture, there's not just top/bottom but a wide spectrum to define or describe preferences; I'm sure this all also applies to the BDSM world as well. There's a variety of tops and bottoms and preferences like Bambi lesbians who don't want sexual dynamics beyond cuddling and kissing.

The interview process is what is causing me the most anxiety right now. Lost my job at the end of June, and I KNOW I need to be looking harder, but I'm just dreading the whole interview process. I've been procrastinating like crazy...I just don't want to relearn a whole culture of a new team; it's so mentally draining. 12 years somewhere and the idea that I have to start all over again...๐Ÿ˜ญ

Same... It's like 20 minutes of focus and then I need a nap ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ When I was younger, I'd just inhale energy drinks, but the crashes just kept coming faster and faster.

Depends where you live! There's weekly/monthly cannabis events where I'm at. I've made some great friends at them!

Decent! Only 5 months on HRT and see and feel plenty of change. Really hoping certain muscles start to decrease in size - primarily shoulders and lats. All the tops I buy fit awkwardly ๐Ÿ˜ž I was also hoping my metabolism would slow down slightly and allow me to keep some fat, but my body has always liked staying lean... After so many years of bodybuilding, I'm just not in a place mentally to start eating like crazy again to help with weight gain; it's liberating to eat what and when I want. Dressing more androgenous and getting plenty of compliments on my outfits, though I consider them a compromise while my body composition adjusts. I feel really good about myself, and that's a big first for me!

That has been my experience as well! Prepaid for 6 sessions so I set my expectations around that. Two weeks after my first, one morning ~90% of my hair wiped right off during my skincare routine. I was sooo excited! I seem to just have a few small active patches left which I'm hoping the second session helps with. Definitely putting money down for my legs and arms next time I go.

There's a social spectrum. There are varying levels of asocial- one being demisocial. Demisocial people want interaction, but normally with a close few people that they have a strong bond with. Put someone who is on the asocial side in a large group and they'll get overstimulated and overwhelmed. It takes time to figure out your social tolerance and what pushes you over the edge. Some people will encourage asocial people to desensitize themselves by forcing themselves into social situations, but that can be extremely unhealthy for them and lead to burnout. There's nothing wrong with anyone who doesn't like huge social settings... Some people just don't like accommodating others so they make it a you problem. Finding your people can be hard and lonely, but it's far more fulfilling when you do.

The thing I want natively is a built-in way to control volume per tab- not just mute, not through a plugin... Just a simple volume slider that works.

I don't even understand what's being asked. Women can be gay, so the title itself is baffling. Implying that men wearing pink or any type of physical presentation implies anything about someone's sexuality is just weird. Yes, as society moves past its weird obsessions about people's sexuality, we'll see more of every type of couple and relationship dynamics.

Get into something - hyperfixate, become part of community, wake up one day with zero interest in thing, become lonely as you no longer enjoy thing with other people, cry, find new thing and repeat... Look back and realize you have no foundation other than this cycle- now too traumatized to get into anything new and feel completely gray.

Hmmm, Is the type of skirt you're looking for in this graphic?

Kind of sounds like a bustle of sarong.
