Dysphoria as an egg felt like a complete disconnect from the male gender. I was "a guy" but I never felt like one. I was just "A person who happens to be male". I felt a greater affinity for the female gender, and was somewhat frustrated that I couldn't be a part of it. (I had some incorrect ideas about transness at the time, again, I'll go more in depth later)

Lies does a really good job at explaining this imo. I can definitely say that above was a pretty accurate description of what I felt.

you get more people to call you Lily, of course! You can also use it to mentally refer to yourself.

I had very little problems switching to use Hazel because it was basically like I was never using my deadname in my head, but switching from Hazel to Tessa was difficult- I ended up going down the rubber band route by just inflicting pain onto myself whenever I referred to myself as anything but Tessa or externally referred to myself as Tessa- it leaves marks but not that bad marks. Also having other people call me Tessa in real life (specific cases) and online helped a *lot* 

Just think. Lily is your name. You are Lily. 

Also sometimes talking to yourself can help; try writing something about yourself in third person, etc

Uhmm... I believe that's called self-harm and it's not healthy...

tho maybe a little different, probably not the best idea..

It's not really self-harm, as it's not intended for the purpose of really causing pain. It's a small reminder

it worked okay. 

And it doesn't hurt that bad. It's immediate pain and then a somewhat stingy-like feeling for a few minutes afterwards. The entire point is that you hate it. It's only a problem if it becomes addictive.

Very effective. You can try it if you're desperate, but I highly encourage self-dialogue using the name Lily instead :3.

when I got knocked over by a 250 lb person and didn't get back up, I told myself "it's going to be alright Hazel, it's going to be alright" repeatedly

other things is like when I'm coming up with things to do, like, cleaning my room for example, I tell myself "You got this Tessa" or that kind of thing. I used to leave myself messages on my journal that said things like "make sure to drink water, Tessa" or things like that.

I've stopped externalizing since but it's never a bad place to begin.

mmm. I do this too. I'm training for the military, and I'm like “You got this, [name], keep on jogging,” and “You have to eat breakfast, [name]”.

Also, how were there 189+ replies when I got back to this thread today. I CHECKED IT YESTERDAY.

I mean, I talked to myself in my head kind of, calling myself Lily, last night. And had to stop since I couldn't fall asleep lol.

edit: I think that's what made it so I slept pretty terribly that one night

I tried calling myself it a bit in my journal (which I rarely use...)

also...I think I'm feeling euphoria, but idk. And...can it be manufactured? Like am I just telling myself to feel good when I call/get called Lily, when I think of being a girl or think of myself as a girl, etc., which would mean I'm not trans?

How do I know...

Also is "giddy" even the right word? I looked up the definition and it seems a little more intense than what I feel. For me, what I've been feeling is like I smile, I get a feeling in my chest or something and like my breath gets weird like I wanna make happy noises but hold.myself back cuz it would be weird. maybe i get a little warmer, heart a tiny faster idk.

Anyway, Tess and everyone else, thanks for all the tips and help

That all sounds like euphoria to me. Maybe you are telling yourself to feel good, but I don't think it would work unless you really were trans.

Euphoria varies from person to person, and time to time. But that does sound like gender euphoria, I think I've felt similar.

That is giddy. Or at least, how I feel like it is. Just like really happy and you want to meep or whatnot. Like… you want to stand on your tippy-toes. It usually happens to me when I'm not depressed. Like rn.
