I did all the things. Transitioned. Quit opioids and cigarettes. Went back to school. Got discriminated against and persevered. Quit my last job because of anti LGBT policy and got my dream job.

Oh, and I did all that since 2020.

And it’s a nightmare. I’m isolated. No support, and I found out today my coworkers hate me and think I’m trash.

I don’t know what to do. Go back to school? It’s just going to be more of the same. In the last five years, I achieved more than I ever thought I could. And I’ve never been more alone or miserable than I am right now.

I’m tired of living in a world that doesn’t want me, that I’ll never be good enough for. My parents were right, I’m never going to be good enough.

So what’s the point?

    If your parents say “you’re not good enough”, that’s emotional speech.

    And emotional speech says more about the speaker than anything else.

      To parents that don’t think their kids were good enough: skill issue.

      Edit: I meant that parents who expect so much from their kids suck at parenting. To be a skilled parent, you can’t let children not living up to your expectations bother you. Getting mad at them for being inadequate won’t make them more adequate in any sense.
