My weekend was pretty great! Today's the end of a juat-over-a-week long vacation for me
Last weekend, I visited a friend and got to meet some new people. They're the first group who only know me by my chosen name, that I've only been using with close friends for a few months. It's been nice knowing that
Last night, a friend (one of the close ones who's in on my chosen name) and I went to Philly to see a pro wrestling show. The crowd was great, and there was a lot of love and acceptance and support
I'm looking forward to getting back to work and back into my normal routines, with thankfully a shorter work week ahead
That's awesome! I think I'd have been uncomfortable at a wrestling show before, and terrified now, super happy it went great!
I've got to get out an meet people somehow or another. I went to a trans support group a couple weeks back and it was a bizarre experience but neat to be around people at varying levels of similar experiences. I'd love to find some queer friends who are not at the beginning of their journey as well, but being socially awkward and isolated, I don't know how to go about that. Plus kids makes it more difficult.
I've got a 20 month old at home, but thankfully my wife let me visit a friend. They were going to come with, but ended up staying home and seeing my Mom
I feel you on the anxiety, I'm very much an introvert and awkward around new people. I got lucky with my friend being extroverted. Spent a lot of the night sitting quietly and listening, but eventually they got me to open up
