Self Love

[yingyang]

I think I love myself. Dressed, with only wig, lipstick, bra & forms, and still my moustache, in the mirror, I like what I see, to the point of arousal.
Narcissum? Is it really me?
Like life and all of its twists, I'm happily confused.

Nothing wrong with a healthy narcism.
Nothing wrong with a healthy self love, because it opens the door to love and accept others.
Feeling attractive and being attracted by the same can be confusing :heehee:

I grew a mustache once. I looked and felt so yummy when I shaved it off!

There was a song, I think by Confederate Railroad, "..and I like my women just a little on the trashy side!" That would be me. If I had been born a girl I am afraid I would have been a ****, at best.
I like my legs in some of my lace-up thigh-high boots, and I like my boobs and my cleavage. Still love my kids and my SO, just don't need to travel too far when I need a friend. w.

It's a bit of an enigma, isn't it, YingYang?
You'd date yourself if you could just both of you at the same time.
That's a weird thing. Maybe you try to become the girl you wish you were with, I don't know. It's two sides of the same coin, but you can't see them both at the same time!

In my opinion our "St Christopher" is Narcissus and noone else ;o)
Do they sell medaillons of 'm?

Hmmm. Where have I seen that statement lately ?

From my experience, accepting being trans had had a three fold affect.
One has been to embrace my trans nature and really enjoy being who I am. The second has been to him. He is more confident in himself and like himself for the first time in quite a while. And three all the people around him are benefiting because he's more pleasant to be with.
I hope everyone can be as happy about themselves as I have been.

However you love yourself is a gift !

If you love yourself to the exclusion of all else, or alienation from all else, then Narcissism is in play.

The remedy is simple....commit acts towards others that come from your heart (prayer, conversation, spend face time, charity, <fill in blank:______>). One a day should do it.

I enjoy looking at myself in the mirror while en femme. I am much less repulsive than when in drab.

[rhayna]

I actually think Roberta is on the right track. It is an odd thing and I won't get too detailed- but, it is interesting that when I dress and think I look good, I see something in the mirror that makes me feel good.

HOWEVER, when my gf helps me or we are doing girlz night- what she sees is something different. She always says I look good and supports me, but if she gets her way, two things happen. First, she doesn't worry about how "female" I look and focuses on an androgenous theme. Second, she tells me unless I am going to go to a Hollywood makeup artist or have SRS I am what I am..so forget looking like a supermodel.

The reason I say that is it only matters how you feel. It's up to others to accept you as you are, mustache and mascara.

[JenniferR771]

Ying--you are so right. I think I dress to look good to myself--as a woman I would like to date. Smart business suit. Great hair (Preferably short curly blond). High heels.

Crossdressing just is not fun( for me), if there are no mirrors to view myself. I often go from one mirror to another in our house. And i love the big closet door folding mirrors where I can get a three-way view.

Get rid of the moustache!

[Tamara Croft]

Get rid of the moustache!And this is helpful how? why should he/she get rid of the moustache?

[AmberTG]

I had a moustache from the time I was old enough to grow one straight through to about 7-8 years ago, I only shaved it once and my face looked so weird without it, I let it grow back. I didn't even have to shave it during Army basic training. That would be roughly 20-25 years. I also had a beard several times during that period. Once I shaved it off and left it off long enough to get used to how I looked without it, I wasn't interested in growing it back. Now I'm having electrolysis to permanently remove it. It's all a question of how you see yourself, I guess. I like the way my face looks in the mirror now, I look a bit like my one sister. When I have a day where I see that, it makes me feel happy. Some days I like looking in the mirror, some days I don't.

Wenda and Joy, I know the feeling, I might have been a bit "trashy" myself had I been born a woman, I like the look, and I really like that song, it's one of the few country songs I really like.
