i feel like i don't belong anywhere
The story
So recently i've started working at this bakery workshop, and honestly? it's been terrible???? Being trans has made things like ten times harder. People there just keep making fun of me all the time. I'm trying to do my job but the constant harassment is so exhausting! It's not like I can just tell them to stop since I don't want to draw even more attention to myself!
And then i come home thinking maybe it'll be a place where i can breathe, but no! My parents... they just don't get it??? i've tried so many ways to explain my situation but it's like talking to a wall, you know?? There's zero understanding or support in that house most of the time. Sometimes it feels more like i'm an outsider living with strangers instead of my own family!
Even when i go out elsewhere, it doesn't really change much. Friends drift apart because they can't deal with 'it'. New people won't stick around long enough because by then they've probably heard some twisted version of who i am! Makes me wary of trusting anyone new??? Tired of worrying about trust and betrayal.
Like always feeling misplaced wherever i exist... Wondering why nothing seems right anywhere anymore??? Am I asking too much for a little bit of acceptance & peace?! Or just wishing for something far-reaching?! 😞

Honestly bro jusst dont let them bother u those coworkers dont define ur worth or wateva lol.
Ugh easier said than done!
try to ignore your coworkers the best u can. if ur boss likes u that's all that matters. u might even get a promotion if ur doing good work. and sometimes parents just dont get it, and there's nothing u can do to fix that. maybe try to find people in your life who can like idk join clubs or teams. even online groups w people who share a common intrest w u
Why do you care what others think?
...because it hurts?? and being with these coworkers everyday, can you imagine that??
that sounds really rough, my dude. i totally get why you're feeling fed up with everything; people can be such jerks sometimes and it's maddening when you just wanna live your life without getting hassled all the time. being at work should be about doing your job, not putting up with harassment from small-minded people. and dealing with family who can't or won't understand is just as frustrating... maybe even more since that's supposed to be home base😡 seriously though, you're not asking too much for a bit of acceptance and support - that's what everyone deserves! hang in there and keep an eye out for moments that feel like they fit right because they're out there somewhere.
man, that sucks, sorry you're going through it. i remember when i first moved to a new city, thought things would be different but folks still had the same attitude. took me awhile finding people who actually cared and understood. sometimes it's about hanging on ‘til you find your crew; definitely not asking too much for some peace and acceptance! hope things get better on your end soon 🌟
Man, I totally get your frustration! :-/
I feel ya same thng happened at my last job smh...
it's awful that you're dealing with so much negativity from all sides... honestly, people can be such jerks sometimes. i mean, is it really that hard for them to just mind their own business and let you live? the fact your family isn't supportive either makes things even tougher. it's like they're blind to what's really happening around them. maybe try finding a support group or online community where people actually get what you're going through!!! having at least some folks who understand could make a world of difference in how you're feeling right now!
man, that's rough, feeling like everywhere you turn someone's trying to belittle who you are. but staying silent just lets them think it's okay. maybe saying something directly could shift things even if it's tough at first. as for your parents... sometimes it just takes time or a different way for them to come around, but don't let that define how you see yourself. finding people who genuinely get you can be tough, but when they do stick, it's worth it. keep looking for those spaces where you really feel safe and supported so you're not alone in this constant fight.
man, that's rough. i remember when i worked at a café and the patrons were relentless with their comments. had to develop a thicker skin just to make it through the day; reminds me of something maya angelou once said: "you may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." finding your own space or people who get you takes time, but they're definitely out there! 🌈
That's tough :'(
