I'm gonna use this thread again because most of my friends are cis/straight and my age, and I feel like I could benefit from getting advice from other LGBT individuals with more life experience than me.
It's only recently occurred to me that I will likely be disowned by the majority of my family once they find out I'm trans if I end up pursuing medical transition (my family is extremely conservative and not LGBT-friendly, DEFINITELY not trans-friendly), and it's a really depressing and frightening thought. I'll be on my own with possibly nobody to help me, maybe even with no warning if i'm outed rather than me choosing to come out myself. What exactly do I do in situations such as this? Should I avoid being close with my family so the day I have to say goodbye hurts less? Are there any recommendations on what I should prepare for or where I should go when that time comes?
I feel the same wayWhy do I feel so so lonely when I got loving friends and a nice family that supports me
On top of @TyraWadman 's generally good advice (that said, do be careful if you think family might be watching internet usage: Nothing like searching up "Local trans-supporting shelters" to immediately get questions), I will note that it can be difficult to predict exactly how family will react because there's two parts to it.I'm gonna use this thread again because most of my friends are cis/straight and my age, and I feel like I could benefit from getting advice from other LGBT individuals with more life experience than me.

While there isn't really a perfect answer for this, your family should be somebody you confide your secrets with because there is a level of trust nobody else has. I think you should keep being with them until you're older and you have the ability to take care of yourself before telling them if you're really worried about it. But this entire situation is a very sensitive one, and you gotta be able to look out for yourself.I'm gonna use this thread again because most of my friends are cis/straight and my age, and I feel like I could benefit from getting advice from other LGBT individuals with more life experience than me.

AAAAAAA I CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT ANYMORE I HATE SUMMER BRING BACK WINTER
MY PHONE SAYS IT'S ONLY 23°C WTF
I JUST WANNA GO BACK TO THE -10-10 RANGE WE GOT THROUGH WINTER
You have my sympathies! Boyfriend and I have discussed possibly getting me something like this thing if the heat gets bad this summer: https://www.zooplus.se/shop/hund/hundbaddar_korgar/kylfilta/917244I-I can't stand it anymore, either! I can't stand this fucking DISTGUSTING Summer weather anymore!!
Even wearing the thinnest clothing I have, I'm STILL hot as hell! All windows are open, 4 fans running, it's STILL TOO FUCKING HOT!!
I can't even sleep at night, either! The humid air is so suffocating! Even now, it feels hard to breathe, I'd happily sleep outside if I could, the cool air is fucking gorgeous! If I had a proper back garden, I'd prop up a tent, and make sure the front has netting to stop the bugs, and happily sleep in the lovely cool air! If I could hibernate until Autumn/Winter, I WOULD at the drop of a hat! This rate, I'll have to have a shower every night before I go to bed, in order to release the disgusting heat within me, just so I'm nice and cool, so I can actually sleep!
My sleeping pattern is so fucked, even during the day I'm tired but I'm too hot to even nap...
The humid air at night is like, suffocating mega fold!
Plus I'm super pissed off I can't continue my project of Sprites VS. Statues because of this disgusting heatwave! I cannot focus, it's driving me insane! More Winter, less Summer! Plus I'm super allergic to sunlight, so I have to cover up my windows with like shower curtain-type cloth because of my skin condition! To hell with the heat!
I have this huge free-standing aircon unit for if it gets really bad. The main issue is that it's so fucking noisy that it really is a last resort.You have my sympathies!

Is that something you might be able to do to keep yourself more comfortable?
i feel ya. and when it's not hot outside, fuckin' palmetto bugs are getting into your house at night. why did florida get cursed with the worst roach in existence? WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO MAKE A ROACH THAT SPRAYED LIKE A SKUNK??i really dont like the heat... *cries in floridian*
AND THEYRE TERRIFYING! one time, i was sitting on my bed and i feel a tickle under my leg.... you can guess what that was... ;wwwwwwwwwwww;i feel ya. and when it's not hot outside, fuckin' palmetto bugs are getting into your house at night. why did florida get cursed with the worst roach in existence? WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO MAKE A ROACH THAT SPRAYED LIKE A SKUNK??
Fuck that, I would of bolted out the room and grab a weapon! Roaches are fucking nasty, I used to have them kept going in/out of an air event I had above my bed, it was so awful, plus they don't bloody die easy, either! Nya! Nasty!AND THEYRE TERRIFYING! one time, i was sitting on my bed and i feel a tickle under my leg.... you can guess what that was... ;wwwwwwwwwwww;
i have dyshidrotic eczema, so i feel your pain.Fuck that, I would of bolted out the room and grab a weapon! Roaches are fucking nasty, I used to have them kept going in/out of an air event I had above my bed, it was so awful, plus they don't bloody die easy, either! Nya! Nasty!
If even a slight touch of sun touches my skin, it'll turn red quickly, and then I'm in risk of breaking out into a nasty rash, that the itching is torture, it can take hours for it to stop, plus it's spreading even more all over. FML!
Texas has them, too. And it's Texas so they're the size of housecats.i feel ya. and when it's not hot outside, fuckin' palmetto bugs are getting into your house at night. why did florida get cursed with the worst roach in existence? WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO MAKE A ROACH THAT SPRAYED LIKE A SKUNK??
Bleh! Fucking nasty!! I suffer from keratosis pilaris, and rosacea of the face, plus the KP has spread further, where before it was just on my arms and legs, now it's spread to my chest, my scalp, it spreading like wildfire on my right arm, not so nuts on my left arm, it's already on my legs, I think it's slowly spreading to my face, and my back.Texas has them, too. And it's Texas so they're the size of housecats.
That being said, Florida has a wonderfully horrid range of scary insects. North Carolina doesn't tend to have the giant roaches but there are these really creepy things that look like they belong in a cave. And apparently they can bite. They move so fast...
Ah yes. The thing that used to be in every apartment I rented in Ontario.Texas has them, too. And it's Texas so they're the size of housecats.

mmm yes, the condition lovingly nicknamed "Chicken Skin." I greatly enjoyed reading how this condition 'normally clears up on its own by the time of reaching adulthood' when I was younger, being given that poisonous false hope.Bleh! Fucking nasty!!

It's still so fucking hot here, feels like I'm boiling to death....

I'm sorry to hear that. I can try helping you with the loneliness, cause I had to experience it and not just once.Why do I feel so so lonely when I got loving friends and a nice family that supports me
