The social anxiety version:

“Oh you’re trans? But you look so good!”

->“oh god please don’t be offended please do t be offended dear god I’m so sorry for being such a piece of shit and saying that, I’m such a horrible person. I deserve to die horribly. I’m a fucking monster please kill me.”

“I’ve never met a trans person before!”

->“oh fuck fuck fuck fuck, you are such a fuck up. Seriously just shut the fuck up and go away, never talk again you fucking fuck up. You seriously fucked up so horribly. Why can’t you fucking think before you speak you disgusting trash?”

“I would date a trans person”

->“oh god, now they know I’m lonely. Oh god I’m so alone please just leave me alone. I don’t want to be alone please I’m so sorry. I can’t be near people I’m such a monster. I’m such a horrible person I do t deserve someone so nice to be my date.”

“You look just like a real woman!”

-> “oh god please don’t hate me, I really like you and want to compliment you in a way you’ll like. Please don’t hate me, please don’t hate me, please don’t hate me, please don’t hate me, please don’t hate me, please don’t hate me, please don’t hate me”

“I’m glad you’re being honest with me about being trans”

->“oh god someone told me something about them. Oh shit what do I say?! What do I do?! Oh god oh god oh god phgodohgod please what the fuck do I do? What can I say? What can I say? Oh god oh god oh god”

“I loooove trans people!”

->“you fucking shit eater! Cut out your tongue you fucking shit eater! Why can’t you actually talk to people without bringing so ducking awkward?! You are a piece of filth! You deserve to die you horrible creature! You aren’t eve a human being!”

“It’s so hard to switch pronouns.”

->“just kill yourself. Do it you fucking coward! Kill yourself before you fuck up and hurt them! Kill yourself! Do it you fucking coward! You are such a monster! Just do it!!”

“I don’t have a problem with trans people”

-> “please don’t hate me, please don’t hate me, please don’t hate me. I’m so sorry, please don’t hate me, please don’t hate me, I’m such a fuck up. I don’t deserve to have a friend. I should be alone and die.”

These are pretty much the thoughts that run through my head everyday, all day, and all night. There is no break from these thoughts. None. So thanks OP for feeding into my social anxiety to the point where I’m too scared to actually talk to people. It’s really helpful.
