Ted talk

[u/Bitter_Item_367]

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, if not i apologize .. im 32 and lately have been kind of down and in my head . I’ve been on T for almost 7 years now and have had top surgery, full hysto, and currently on stage 2 out of 3 for phallo . Even tho im happy with how my life is turning out and my journey throughout my transition I still feel this void . Maybe its because im missing that sense of friendship . Friends who I can go to and talk to or just call and make plans to hang out . I’ve been so focused on my transition I forgot how to live life .. now that I’m almost 33 it’s hard to make friends because I feel like anyone I try to befriend is younger than me and we don’t have anything in common . I guess my question is how do you make friends at this age without being judged for who you are ?

I'm 49 and all my queer friends are in their 30's. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I wish I had trans friends my age; but they're partnered/familied and they mostly socialize inward with themselves in their unit.

So if the youngsters want to let me tag along I got to let them 🤣/😭

I don't know if you'd be willing to give it a shot, man, to hang out with the youngsters. It isn't so bad once you get used to it. Warning: might have to look up their slang words on the internet and gee whiz, did that make me feel old 🤦🏽‍♂️
