I get angry/frustrated when...?

[nikkiwindsor]

I get angry & frustrated when I break a nail...just happened! So eeerrr! I'm curious what upsets other gals on the forum...please share whether it ranges from a mild frustration to the tea kettle boiling over!

[Elizabeth G]

I get extremely frustrated when life gets in the way and one of my all too infrequent opportunities to dress goes by the boards.

[Jaylyn]

Same here Elizabeth if I don't get to dress at least once a week I get cranky, frustrated, and irritated. I don't know but it almost seems therapeutic to slip into something smooth and silky, if I can just put my lipstick on in the mornings and see the lip print on my cup it helps also. I wear my panties under my jeans and that helps keep me in tune somewhat. Crazy isn't it?

Hi Nikki :hugs:, Breaking a Nail, Runner, The wig will not cooperate just to name a few. >Orchid ..O:daydreaming:O..

[Judy-Somthing]

I get angry/frustrated when some people make me feel bad about myself being a cross-dresser.

Like my SO or like a few months ago when a SA saw me looking at dresses from the next aisle over and not looking at me said in a sarcastic voice "Looks like someone needs a dress".

I use to work with a 30 year old girl who worked at a dress store and she said she would hide in the back when a CDer would come in, she didn't know I dressed.
She always dressed to kill, very attractive.

Super Glue to the rescue. Don't cry, TRY.

Hi Nikki,

I get frustrated when I plan to work from home, which gives me a chance to be Anne all day, but instead something comes up that requires me to be out and about, which is in guy mode for me.

Getting angry never does any good so I stopped doing that for the most part.

[nikkiwindsor]

not going to work...my actual nail broke near the nail bed...it's going to be two weeks before its back to a good length...ugh!

[Mermaiden]

I find that when I’m angry or frustrated, it’s almost always because I’m tired. I take annoyances in stride when I’m well rested.

[KatrinaK]

Nikki, I have a near 100% track record for saving broken nails... gorilla glue in the flap, then patiently layer gorilla glue underneath, then get a gel manicure on top. It holds and the gel prevents friction from opening back up the flap. I have two broken nails right now and they’ve held for 3 weeks.

[Jaymees22]

I get angry and frustrated when I haven't been able to dress for a while.

[Becky Blue]

I am an easily irritated never angry kind of a girl - i get irritated when i am unable to find a 'legitimate reason' to explain to my wife why I should keep my body hair shaven.

I'll try gorilla glue next time, but unfortunately I cannot go around with manicured nails since I don't work from home. I might be able to get away with applying a layer or two of clear gel coat to the damaged nail.

[IleneD]

Nikki,

You nailed it, girl. (pun intended).
After taking the time and care to let nails grow to a groom-able length, one breaks and upsets the symmetry.
Damn.

[docrobbysherry]

I'm pretty handy. Use my hands for all sorts of things so I break nails all the time! Isn't that why they invented nail clippers?

So we can clip them back and let them grow out again?:sad:

[Stephanie47]

As to nails I always end up with gouges in nails. I try to keep my nails at a length just peeking over the end of the finger. Most GG's do not keep their nails as long as most CD-ers seem to want to keep theirs. I don't bother with nail polish either. Too time consuming for the short period of time.

My frustrations occur when I thought I had a day to look forward to being en femme and some unexpected change of plans occurs. Or I planned to be out of the house on the premise my wife was going to be home, and, then she changes her plans and leaves all day.

After glueing the break, get hold of some nail silk and use a clear base to stick it over the repair, A couple of coats, one on nail, then one over the silk. then get a good quality Matte top coat like "OPI nail envy matte" and nobody will even notice you have polish on your nail and the repair will be suprisingly strong. You can also use the Matte polish on the rest of your nails to keep them nice and strong and prevent breakages. If you cannot find the nail silk, tissue may work but not as strong. if you can still see the texture of the silk or tissue, use a fine file to smooth and feather the surface and recoat with the matte.

How do i know? I am a Mechanic and break mine all the time and like you, it really upsets me when it happens.

Also google this, "The Edge Nail Silk Wrap", Perfect for overlaying a repair and then Matte over the top again.

Fyi, if the finish is too matte at first, just rub the polish when cured and it takes on a very natural sheen.

[Beverley Sims]

Damage to nails and my hair getting messed up in the wind helps with the frustration.

[DaisyLawrence]

I get angry/frustrated when I get angry/frustrated.

Me too Kim, we have so much in common!

[Crissy 107]

Getting angry never does any good so I stopped doing that for the most part.
This is certainly easier said then done but I do try and stay on an even keel and wearing panties helps me do it.

[Jonithan]

For me, when after drying off from my shower. I work up a sweat getting my sports bra on and it starts sticking to me.

Oh, and people at work. :D

So, I'm pretty much always frustrated because I rarely ever dress. But when I do, I'm content and energetic.

[Robertacd]

Whenever someone posts asking if they are a Crossdresser or Transvestite or what label is best.

[Teri Ray]

I get frustrated when I look back at things, issues, events, discussions and many other daily things happening in normal life that at the moment seemed to be something to be angry or upset about and after time and reflection I realize that in the large scheme,were things that I should not have got upset over. In short life is too short to spend it being upset over trivial things. We all should learn to celebrate the simple pleasures of life that we have …………….and there are many. Reminds me of that song...……….."Don't worry be happy"

[ambigendrous]

I split a nail well down into the nail bed once - my manicurist used a silk wrap to "fix" it and then covered it with the usual clear top coat. It looked completely natural, and got trimmed as it grew out - nobody could tell it wasn't a "normal" male nail...

[t-girlxsophie]

When I'm down to my last pair of lovely tights,the ones I splashed out on for special and discover there's a ladder in them, just before going out

[jezola]

Pretty laid back, not much upsets me, If I can't control it .....

[Bobbi46]

Chipping a freshly painted finger nail just as I am about to go out winds me up no end.

[nikkim83]

Very surprised this hasnt been mentioned.

Run in the stockings. Drives me nuts.

[DIANEF]

More irritating than anger making, but when my false eye lashes fall off just when I think they've stuck, oh yes, and putting a finger nail through a new pair of tights.

[Danielle_cder]

One word so many curse words.....false lashes

[nikkiwindsor]

My nail is growing back...but SLOWLY! :(

[Maria 60]

Oh you should have never asked that question but I'll just give you one. I get angry when it just took me an hour to get all dressed up and then there's a change of plan and someone comes home early.
Here's another one, getting all dressed up and looking forward to putting on those new pantyhose and inpull them up and tear and a run.
I'll stop here.

[Asew]

Like a month ago I got a bad nail when working on building a porch (power screwdriver slipped and went right towards the thumb nail bed). I was cursing at the stupid f***ing porch the rest of the day. Now I have a big dent in the middle of my thumb nail as it grows out.

Usually the big things don't bother me, but a bunch of little things add up and puts me in a mood. At least I recognize it now and try and take a break or at least a breather.

[Crissy 107]

Chipping a freshly painted finger nail just as I am about to go out winds me up no end.

Calm down Bobbi, just touch it up real quick. Crissy

[DaisyLawrence]

Reading many of the replies here there is a recurring theme, that is that people get angry about little stuff that isn't worth getting angry about. Broke a nail? It'll grow back, what good does being angry do? Do any of you realise JUST HOW SHORT your lives are? Relax and enjoy yourselves before it is too late.

[Bobbi46]

true! life is too short maybe "winds me up "is too much as well on reflection i would say annoying and at the wrong time especially when already out for sure no use getting angry which I do not for me its more of a case of "oh dammit" nothing I can do i just on reflection get on with whatever I am doing.
