[QUOTE="lucky7blankz, post: 3275973, member: 101891"] without wanting to sound harsh the only parallel I can see is that both - and there's going to be a large overlap subset - groups will be seen as selfish by other living cisgender people. It sounds like you're opening a whole can of worms about consciousness, the role of family, society and human existence and it's waaay too hot for my little brain to cope with such a debate.... We take on a responsibility for our bodies but it feels like no one has really filled the void, explained what is the point in life, sometimes we go through school and have an idea of a direction, some of it is societal and familial pressure to fulfill a particular occupation and role. I was completely lost at 16 and have kinda drifted along with changes since. As someone who was sectioned a few years back I would say however cliched it sounds that it does get better, though you might pick what makes you feel better about yourself, and have to be a bit selfish towards your own happiness over other peoples whether family, SO, friends etc. So much in life is competitive it feels like there is more pressure to succeed in something anything than ever before.... and to use MA as a metaphor, some of us will find a style and thats it we stick it out for decades, others will want some variety, I know you mentioned your lil brother has done well in competition, some will have that combination of talent and luck, though alas most of us wont [/QUOTE]
