T has changed my personality a lot

I’m posting this to see if other guys have had similar experiences, but also because I never really see people talk about this aspect of medically transitioning and so it took me by surprise when it happened to me!

For background, I’m 22 and I’m 4 months on T so still early days. However, already T has changed so much about the way I think and experience my emotions and as a byproduct of this it’s really changed my personality in some ways too.

I find myself being interested in different things and different kinds of people. I’ve also noticed I feel and respond very differently when I’m in social situations to how I did before T, even though I’ve been living as a guy socially since I was a kid.

I guess it’s normal to feel emotions differently as I’m technically going through puberty again, but at points it’s been a bit of a learning curve as I feel like I’m changing faster than I can consciously keep up lol!

It’s not a negative thing at all, T has been the best thing that has ever happened to me and I just see this as part of becoming the man I was meant to be. But wow I didn’t realise it would be this much so soon. I’m really interested to hear if others have had experiences with this too.
