Do you "NEED" to dress or just "WANT" to dress?

I want to dress constantly, but I don't always do it! Sometimes other things take priority. But when I need to dress, I dress! Some thing inside says you will dress! I dress that day even if only for a short period of time! Under dressing some times can fend this off for a while and I find myself doing it more! Out a lot today under dressed with blue finger nail polish with silver sparkles with no problems only some nice comments! Presenting as male! As with the clothes this was more a need than want!

I only need to breathe pay taxes and die and I think I'm close to circumventing death. The other two are impossible. 😀

We may walk or sit differently or order different food in a restaurant but it's just playing a part. When I turn on the radio or TV, I listen to the same music or watch the same shows. If I had voted in the recent election as Krisi rather than Homer, I would have chosen the same candidates.

As they say in the classics ... unless you have walked a mile in her shoes....you seem very definitive about how other people feel. When I am expressing Becky I am not the same, getting dressed and expressing this side of me is very profound. Let me give you some simple examples of how I change.

1. As a guy I don't like dancing much, I feel restrained and don't like the way I move. As a girl I love dancing, I move differently in heels and a dress/skirt I feel free and uninhibited and I like the way I move.

2. As a guy I am quite reserved, when I am Becky I am the opposite, I feel the need to be more out there, I am more talkative to strangers and love to be seen.

3. I cannot explain why, but others will agree with me, but when I am Becky my senses are on steroids I smell, see, feel everything around me.

4. When I am her I feel much more sensuous, Becky has much smaller body space requirements, i feel much more comfortable hugging people, sitting much closer.

Maybe Becky is the real me, maybe I am restrained in my daily life, but the those are just a few examples.

My mother told me she believes this is something I "Need" to do. I told her she understands completely

For me. When the mood comes on. Everything is about dressing. For example if I'm watching the tv I'm looking at the clothes not following the story. Then days, weeks, later the mood departs and I'm watching the fight scenes not checking out the lovely outfit the girl in the background is wearing.

I have to dress i cant stop what i love to do . its who i am

It's a fine line and I can bot tell one side from the other. For me need and want are the same thing

I need to, i cant stop. My wife allows it and a couple times a week she dresses sexy with me. It feels so good rubbing up against eachother

It's a need for me. It feels like I'm my true self when I'm dressed properly (i.e. any female clothing from glam to comfy) and it makes me feel calmer, more relaxed and, most importantly, happier. It feels like a weight is lifted from me physically and emotionally so I suppose it's a big want but a bigger need.
