    am I the only one who gets this? If I have to look at my body for some reason, say I'm showering, looking at my body it's just like, meh. But the longer and longer i have to look at it, the more I start to feel dysphoric. I've always been really disconnected from my body, and it never looks real, so my theory is that the longer I see it, the more my brain begins to realise that THIS IS your body, that its real and its not going to change. Also i just want to say that ive never had that jolt/shock feeling when seeing myself, like a lot of trans people do, wich is weird, cos i guess i should if i see myself as someone else in my head, wich i do. Do you think this idea is logical, or am I not the only one with this thing..:icon_wink

    I have no idea if you are the only one, but the human brain is very powerful. So, the more you are thinking about it, the worse you are feeling.
