I still feel extremely awkward even tho I have nothing to fear. Like everything went fine but I still feel really fucking nervous and anxious. I just want to disappear to the middle of the woods and live in a cave somewhere where nobody will bother me. How do I get over this? Move in day is in two weeks and everybody on campus knows i'm trans
It's called shame. You gotta go through it. Don't resist.

Sebastian Fisher
It doesn't go away until you go through it. You're resisting some aspect. Why don't you want people to bother you? That's probably a key.

The way I thought of it was - you've thrown out an old normal, so everything's going to be weird for a while. But you're building a new normal- all you have to do is get comfortable and you'll be okay.

Stop hanging on to male identity, it will go away faster. Either way it should go away within the next few months, at most a year if you really hang on to it.
