So I get disability money right? My mom lets me spend $200.00 of it on whatever I please. Therefore, I spend it on video games. Video games are my ONLY salvation.

My dad told me that I'm buying "a lot of games". My mom says "I need clothes". I HATE CLOTHES! I may be a girl and all but I swear my habits, mannerisms, and outlook on life are very much like a guy. I don't need prissy clothes, cute little shoes, or anything like that!

Now, I wear a 2x in Men's shirts because I have a rather large chest area. So that makes me a 2x and the rest of my body is a Men's XL. So I never know what size to order. I've always said the baggier the better but I don't want to look like I'm wearing a dress.

It's just so frustrating!

Are you sure your mother is asking you to buy 'prissy clothes' or 'cute little shoes', perhaps she's just trying to tell you that you don't have enough clothes to wear/clothes of an acceptable standard to wear.

For instance, I thought that the clothes I owned were fine, and they are for lounging around the house or socialising in a causal environment. But I recently had to buy a shirt and tie for interviews/formal gatherings. I begrudged that at the time, it seemed like a waste of money. Now I realise that I do need a shirt and tie, because if you don't conform in an interview setting, then you probably won't get the job/uni place. For formal gatherings it's something about 'first impressions' that I still don't really get, but my partner says they're important so I'll take his word on that.

I think your parents are probably just worried about your interest in video games. Lots of parents are worried about their children's interests in video games. I don't think that makes them 'idiots'. Have you explained to them how you feel about them? Or asked your parents why they wish you to buy clothes? Perhaps they have a legitimate reason for it.

She wants me to buy whatever clothes make me happy. I was just stating that when I wear women's clothes, I get a mental panic attack. I am far from beautiful. So when I wear women's clothes I poke at every little imperfection I have. Like, literally I give myself a pat down, basically.

I plan on getting a job at a grocery store or a small time retail position so appearances don't matter. I get freaking pimples like nobody's business. In those kind of jobs(business women/lawyers)they want the most aesthetically pleasing women they can find.

I like the title "people are such idiots" so my post is aimed at that.
I work in retail (checkouts/self serve) and let me tell you that if stupid people annoy you then retail is going to be a fun experience for you
At least you get some stories!
Customer: where do you put the money?
Me: Where it says insert notes here.

Customer: I dont like self serve can you do this transaction for me?
Me: No, this is "self serve" to get to the regular registers please follow the giant line on the floor behind you.

BTW; I hate clothes too, especially jeans. Who the hell decided they were fashionable?

This quote inspired me to reply. I never wear jeans, or at least I never have in the past. Eh, I think their original purpose was to be efficient, not fashionable; the fashion came after jeans became popular.

Anyways, to the OP: Perhaps your mother interprets your choice of clothes as you being self-conscious of how you look, and she's trying to say (in a subtle way) that she's accepting of it if you want to wear more womanly clothes (that she may think you secretly like but are afraid to wear due to how they look on you). Maybe not, but you never know.

Also, I must say: You're not perfect, but no one is, really. If you're happy with how your life is, try and convey to your parents of that fact. They might be disappointed, or maybe even unable to comprehend that ("What kind of girl is happy with this kind of life?" might go through their heads), and you might need to accept that.

Good luck!

Okay, it's true. I like Women's clothes I just look hideous in them. I have paranoia issues about gaining weight and not being able to fit in the clothes. I want to stay at my current weight so bad so I can wear cute little outfits without worrying if I'm going to gain weight and not be able to wear them anymore.
