    So I'm new here. I'm generally pretty bad at introducing myself. I get all nervous like and talk to much or to little. I realized when I was much younger that I liked females just as much as I liked males. School wasn't the easiest and I was picked on and beat up quite a bit till I reached my last few high school years. And in the family... well it just isn't something that's talked about much. I've dealt with anxiety and depression for the majority of my life. Lately I've been trying to just be more truthful with myself and improve my life. I'm starting to think I may be transgender. I've always had problems accepting myself as a female, I generally dress more on the masculine side, most of my friends are male and I've always felt like I can relate more to males then females. Puberty hit me like a freight train and I hated the fact that I couldn't just be one of the guys anymore. I guess what it gets down to is I'm just confused about myself. I'm glad I found this site, it's nice to talk and meet other people. So yeah, thanks for giving me a read.

    Hello and Welcome!! I have a tendency to get nervous and talk too much or too little as well. I was also picked on at school, so I can understand how painful that can be. I have felt the same way also about relating to males better than females as well.

    Hi, welcome to EC Lizzette! (*hug*) I can also sympathize with what you've said, as I have certainly been thru all of that in my life as well. Joining EC for me was the first & best step I've taken & I've found everyone here to be sooo supportive for me, so I just know you will as well!
