I Think Everyone Needs To Find Their Own Defenition Of Self - Tumblr Posts

So, I'm currently reading Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin and this paragraph stuck with me.

I am pretty sure in being a cis guy but I love trying on dresses and often find myself really liking how I look in them. Theoretically, I know that gender expression ≠ gender identity and dudes can wear dresses too, but just thinking about wearing a dress in public completely stresses me out.

I currently hate about 85% of my wardrobe and am uncomfortable in most of my clothes but can't really pinpoint why.

And now I am starting to question if it is just how I want to express myself or whether it is an identity issue? Or - and I am pretty certain in that - if it's just stupid societal pressure that's making me uncomfortable.

I don't know if this even makes sense, but just wanted to put it out there for now.
