NTs and letting conformism take over their lives

Post Reply New Topic

Well I'm not more masculine, but I'm not extremely feminine either. It may look like I'm masculine, but really, I only struggle with conformism, which makes it hard to do things like hair and make-up and enjoy clothes shopping. But if I was a man but had the same interests as I do as a woman, I'll probably be looked upon as more feminine, because cars and sports don't interest me either. I think I'm just ''a very boring female''.

You're not a boring female. Maybe hair/make-up/clothes aren't your thing, and that's okay. A lot of women are only interested in these things because of a desire to look a certain way in order to please others, usually men. The reason they overdo it with conformity, especially in fashion, is because the people-pleasing makes them insecure. Their insecurity leads them to be rigid in conformity and judge anyone who doesn't conform to their strict standards in order to feel better about their imperfections.
