What do you mean with your last paragraph. BTW my "plan" or "dream" would be to never pay rent, and try to live in a tinyhouse or something like that and trying to do as much things as I can myself while trying to live as minimally as possible (I already spend near to nothing for myself) the rest of the time I would like to write tutorials, build opensource software and hardware and stuff like that.

That way I could have fun most of the time and make be better with less money (or so I think )

I am single. I will try to go to some places like hackerspaces or stuff like that but going alone freaks me out. Also, what do you mean about the normalcy thing?

I'm doing kinda ok and should be doing way better in living a far more free life without work. Allthough I still need to make money I just do it through my profitable play firm. :)

If you would like some idea or me to tell u if your plan is realistic I have a fairly decent track record and ability to give u advice.

I think for this kinda thing the best plans are made when you think outside the box anarchistically, get your needs thru mutual aid and learn from punks. I think agorism coupled with anti work is a great tool for living without work as well.

Are you single? (Asking because then I can understand if following life choises are viable for you

Find some place where you can learn skills. Learn skills that will make you handy. Learn to live handy and maybe you can offer your services for other peoples services. Maybe you can even learn to live by yourself when shit hits the fan? Build yourself and know that you can achieve anything.

Trying to be normative when you have realized you are not will never make you happy.

I felt this many times before, mostly when I was in my 20's, so I will feel ya some of what worked for me. Well, if you don't find a way to channel your energy in constructing something, you will more and more hopeless. Try to break patterns in a way that will lead to more like your vision.

If you're in a complete sense of being lost, like I was many times, take a step back and start from where you last find enjoyment in your way. Little things make a difference.

Another thing, don't try to do things alone all the time. Let yourself be helped by friends and people you learn to trust in your journey. And what helps me, life is too short for bothering with stuff, if we're not having fun we're not doing it right (well I try to convince myself)

Well having a bunch of weird and confusing emotions is how a second puberty works. I've heard lots of trans people talk about this B4. You don't sound like you are regretting transition at all. It just sounds more like people talking about something they don't understand. I wish u luck in navigating your new flurry of emotions n stuff.

Getting square eyes is indeed a sedentary occupation.

this really sucks and I hope you'll be okay.

have you tried marijuana? I know a couple of people with some sleep issues and they either smoke or use tabs/oil to help them sleep at night.

if you're in the usa, and you're not already doing this, maybe some of this could help alleviate some pressure? if there's something else you feel you could use to help, don't hesitate to ask and there's a bunch of us here that can try to help scrounge up resources and options for you.

I know you didn't ask and I apologize if I'm overstepping in offering this.

About a year ago I had a really bad episode of insomnia along with constant panic attacks and like, near-catatonic depression. Not sleeping at all fucking sucks, and shit my episode was only a couple weeks, I can't even imagine that for months. I really really hope you can feel better soon <3

This seems true to me. Get that date. This time be bolder or show more interest. Mofongo also had great advice. You might also let them know you were nervous (if that were the case). As a parting piece of advice, if it doesnt work out at least it was a new relationship and you arent as attached as you could be. Sometimes shit just doesn't work out. I'd make other comments but I don't know the full situation and they may turn out to be inappropriate lol
