I have many problems with my own image. Who I think I should look like is very different from who I am comfortable being. I hate haircuts that make me look older. Or clothes that make me look serious. Even though I'm in my late 20s, inside I'm almost a decade younger. I wanna wear comfy clothes. I don't want to look serious but I feel so displaced. So aside from the image dysphoria, I have a hard time existing and looking at myself in pictures or in the mirror. It's like two different people. And I keep trying to make them both meet halfway, but it seems impossible! For example, I tried letting my hair grow bc I'd look more adult but it's been 4 months and I wanna shave the sides and blonde it. This makes me look 10 years younger. It's good to enjoy life but makes me looked down when it comes to work as I'm not "so serious". The hardest thing about giving up on masking is that we can't do it selectively. Yes, fuck the stereotypes. But sometimes it's not that easy
