literallylexi Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Being anxious to go to a concert that you would otherwise be very excited about because you don't think your body will feel right in the clothes you want to wear, is that dysphoria? Trying to figure out what's putting me off about my favorite band's upcoming concert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Howard Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I'm no expert but that never stopped me before in giving my opinion. I usualy hear of dysphoria when someone's mind doesn't feel right in their body rather than their body not feeling right in clothes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That, and also: what kind of clothes would you prefer to wear and what makes you feel that you can't? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 It could be, but not necessarily. My face never felt right, and I didn't really understand why. Now I'm assuming it's because it isn't feminine enough. But, there really isn't a way for me to be sure in this case. Some people are concerneed (or something else) about their body in some way, and it isn't dysphoria. But, some people do feel uncomfortable with their body because of dysphoria.

AstrophelDragon Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Can you not wear something else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Howard Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 If it's just for an event, have you thought of binding? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
