Don’t worry and don’t give up on your dreams. You could see this as a sign if you keep putting it off you can never be who you want to be. I’ll give you two of my favourite quotes: We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one. Confucius Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken

well, I just kinda think things over twice before I do something risky. Measure twice, cut once, that kinda stuff. but well, i just don't know what I even want to do, if I even want to dress like a femboy

Well it’s up to people if they believe in signs and that. Personally I think that when you really feel nervous about doing something, your brain can look for validation on why doing that is a bad idea, like a defence mechanism. I hope you’re doing well!


ferluci_

oh yeah it's a bad idea for sure, but that's just because I don't like confrontation with my parents


LargePersonOfCulture

Well maybe you’re not ready. But I think that if it’s something you want then you should be careful when you decide to give up. But deciding to wait is different. There is a right time for everything.

Yeah I haven't given up completely yet, but I also don't know what I'm waiting for. Getting a girlfriend (or boyfriend) eventually to help me was my plan for the longest time, but that won't happen for a long while. And moving out won't happen soon either. So what should I be waiting for?


LargePersonOfCulture

Well that’s up to you. An opportunity? When you’re ready? The strength to talk with your parents if you don’t believe you’ll be able to successfully hide it?


ferluci_

I've never had that though, so why should that just almost magically happen in the future? Gotta face the music someday, somehow. I'm not ready for it, but I never will be maybe I'm just looking way too much into your metaphor lol

Maybe the biggest obstacle of change has always been a lack of belief in it ❤️


ferluci_

yeah I don't believe in it because my parents don't like people changing, which is the biggest obstacle

What your parents do and don’t like and believe should not directly impact what you do. I don’t know how old you are and maybe with some time you will find the individuality to stand for yourself against severe external pressure. You will change and grow 1000%. You get to decide how and how much you want to lean into that.


ferluci_

I mean it shouldn't impact it, but it definitely makes doing what you want to do a whole lot harder I can definitely stand up for myself but god knows how they will react, there's a lot of pressure

If the universe sent you a sign, it's because it doesn't want you to unlock your full potential just yet. Maybe you'll be too powerful, or it knows you need a few more things to be ready. It's not a "no". It's a "not yet".
