SO....I hear a lot of "just enjoy yourself"...but yikes! I still have fears. I've got girls as friends that are going to support me. I've gone to consoling and my therapist (who is awesome) tells me I can't worry about others....I've even told her about this site and how your stories on here give me strength and confidence - without really ever posting before, knowing any of you, or anything like that.

But here I am at this point/stage - where I'm going to take that knee wobbly step.

The thoughts that are my "barriers" are - "everyone is going to be looking at me and judging me" when I step into the bar. Or...I feel amazing dressed, but still see the "guy me" when I see me in a mirror.

I've gone to the drag bar as a guy...and see others and don't thing any more or less of them regardless of their look - other than "damn them for doing it an not me!!" hehe

Are my thoughts common/natural? Tell me it will be okay!!

I'm sorry if this is a lame or redundant post to anyone....just looking for guidance from the group
