I have very strong cheeckbones and i am a girl. Everybody say that they are sign of manly human. I just can't. I have obsession with my body. I deal with soocd and i am so obsseded to find that what If i am manly. I want to Be feminen. I want to My body Look feminen.
And you are feminin. I have strong cheek bones and I’m a girl also, look at it as a beauty thing instead of a manly thing, it’s harder to do so but I promise just because you have cheek bones doesn’t mean that’s a manly thing, Own up to it!
Many women undergo certqin operations to have strong cheekbones. As a woman, I would love to have strong cheekbones too. Everyone's perception of beauty is different. To me more masculine facial features offer a more characteristic and unique beauty. Don't let people's own beauty standards put you down.
Is it even manly feature? Many articles say that men have less prominent cheeckbones than women. But people talk that strong cheeckbones are manly.
Its all about perception i guess. We tend to perceive masculine features more stronger and pointed, and feminine features more softer and rounder. But when you think about it, there are actresses and models who have strong and masculine facial features and are very popular. Like Cate Blanchett, Kate Moss or Khloe Kardashian... Embrace your idiosyncratic facial features. They are what make you uniquely beautiful.
I think that strong features are beautiful but i dont want them because they are manly and if have them they can be a sign that i had more testosterone in my mother's womb and that could mean that i have bigher opportunity to be gay. I know hard but i am so anxious. I can't even look at mirror.
I am so scared of that i dont know why. I have had this for 2,5 years now.
I can understand you feeling anxious. But think about it, if you had more testosteron as a fetus then you would have been born as a boy. Being gay or transgender is not about how a person looks but it is about how that person feel. And trust me these feelings do not appear out of nowhere. So don't let this fear dictate your life. In fact try to look at the mirror each time you feel anxious. Even if its just for ten seconds. And tell yourself this: yeah i have masculine facial features so what? Remember this is just a thought. And this thought doesn't have the power to make you anything you don't ever want to be. You are who you want to be. So if you want to be a beautiful and straight girl with strong cheekbones or a pointy chin or masculine features in general then be her. Also you said you were having this for 2.5 years. Have you ever received professional help in this regard, or have you ever been diagnosed with OCD? Because if you have OCD it may be harder for you to deal with this alone at the beginning.
I have time for a psychiatrist when my summer holiday ends. I am just scared that she doesn't take me serioysly.
I've had every ocd there is, even transgender ocd. I thought to myself, maybe I want to be a guy, cause I thought I was a lesbian and thought being a man would be easier. But I'm really really feminine ? I also worried people would think I'm a hermaphrodite, has anyone else had this? I worry that some people think I'm a man secretely, and again I'm a really feminine woman. I don't wear thrilly dresses but I wear makeup and tight fitting clothes. I like perfume. I'm not even remotely the opposite sex ?
Why am I suddenly now wondering if I am transgender? Like I look in the mirror and do not feel pretty at all anymore and when I talk I feel like I worry about sounding masculine, as well as if people think I look masculine, etc. I am a straight woman and have been battling with intrusive thoughts about my sexuality for some time now, and I am now suddenly questioning my gender identity too. Has anyone else with SOOCD experienced this, where you develop TOCD as a result of endless rumination cycles surrounding your SOOCD? Like I look into the future and know that I want to be a wife and mother and I want to have a husband and kids, but my OCD is telling me that I will be and act like a man and that will never happen. This is literally 10000x more distressing to me than my SOOCD was because I have honestly never understood the concept of being transgender but now I fear that that is who I am and who I have to be. Please help I cannot be the only one suddenly feeling like this. I want to feel confident and pretty and feminine again and I feel like I am never going to be able to. How do I know that this isn’t gender dysphoria/that I really want to become a man
I have hocd hopefully and also some tocd thoughts but its not that bad. I am obsseded about my body hair "do i have too much body hair for a woman?", broad shoulders " They have to mean something?", I really hate them but everyone on my family has broad shoulders. I have checked all my bodyparts and i check them over and over again. Like do i have manly face and everything. I want to go test my testosterone levels so badly but i dont if its reasurence. I feel like verything proofs something and it is making me crazyy. How can i just accept that fact that my bodyparts and my looks doesnt make me gay or trans.
