I made a similar post a couple of years ago, but I think it’s time again after seeing a few nice-guy/incel posts here. So, guys who have made it to the other side, what would you say to your previous self? I’ll leave my own personal answer in a comment below.

      Mushrooms annoy me to no end. I don’t know why, I can trip on LSD for 12 hours just fine but after 2 hours of shrooms I’m just DONE.

        Honestly I prefer microdosing over most other things.

        My first highs were not a lot, like 1g, enough to get some minor visuals, and lasted like 5 hrs or so

      “Become a girl.”

      Unironically being just slightly more feminine helps turn around your life a lot.

        Shortly after the mushrooms and realizing it wasn’t cringe to care about others, I met my now wife of 9 years.

        I’ll admit I just got around to becoming a girl last year, but if I didn’t meet someone, I would have transitioned like 8 years ago.

          Wow, so this is an actual life story!

          Happy for you two, and hope your wife was gentle and welcoming about your transition!

            Thanks :3

            She’s the best, super supportive.

            It gets better, but omg is finding someone hard even 9 years ago.

            Just gotta try to be a good person and keep rolling those dice.
