I've gotten to the point now where I'm very upfront about my social anxiety. I know I appear as out-of-kilter as I feel, so I explain myself quickly. It puts me more at ease to let people know that I'm struggling.

Gerat post!

It's a tough balancing act. Thanks for your kind words <br /><br />@Savanna It's always how you can tell you're really a crossdresser and not just faking it, because even though you feel this enormous pressure but you still want to go through with it. <br /><br />Thanks so much for reading and commenting :) @J Sometimes I hate feeling introverted because I actually really enjoy myself once I am a social situation, but there are times when I truly relish my alone time.

@Savanna It's always how you can tell you're really a crossdresser and not just faking it, because even though you feel this enormous pressure but you still want to go through with it.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting :)

Part of me wants to so bad but then all of the sudden I'll hit a hurdle and I ask myself, why am I doing this? Do I really want to do this? Do I really NEED to do this? etc. Awesome post, thanks!

I completely sympathize. Believe me, I never hold it against you when your wife wants to go out with us but you're not in the mood. I've spent years lying to people about "not feeling well" or "being really tired" to avoid social gatherings. Now I'm usually honest and just say, "sorry, introverting." It actually makes me much less anxious just knowing I can be honest with my friends. <br /><br />And speaking of honesty, it's great that you're being honest with your readers about not being "totally together." I think your point about feeling upset that you had to spend hundreds of dollars and travel away from home just to be yourself is really illuminating. There's no formal law on the books against CD, but social control and social policing are often so rigid that it's even more effective than if there were a law against CD. So unbelievably frustrating. I'm glad you're ultimately happy with your experience though :) <br /><br />-J Ah introversion. I completely sympathize.
