Immune to the "good girl" praise... and miserable.
I have been out to my family for about a year, and even longer to my friends and I am so fortunate to say all of them are very much accepting, and supportive of queer people in general (except for my brother who won't accept me, but at least doesn't hold it against me).
However, this raises a bit of a problem.
My only two sources of euphoria are being referred to by my chosen name, which has become the norm, but for that exact reason went from causing intense euphoria for hours, to causing barely noticeable euphoria for a few seconds. (Except when it's from complete strangers in videogame voice chats, in which case the original amount of euphoria comes into play.)
And the other source being times when I act out in a stereotypically feminine way in the games I play (dressing cutesy, picking the female characters, using certain emotes etc.) which causes mild euphoria for anywhere between 2 to 10 minutes per instance (they however do not stack).
Luckily for me, there is a supposed quick fix to this issue, the so called "good girl phenomena".
Over the years I have seen time and time again posts asking people to call whoever made the post a "good [gendered identity noun]" in the comments, and if the countless replies can be believed, this somehow provided the poster with euphoria in much larger amounts and higher intensity than any one of the tools currently at my disposal.
Unfortunately I don't think the method works on me.
Here is what I can say from experience.
Receiving this praise through text does not work on me.
Receiving it from a cis-hetero ally is just okay, but it doesn't make me feel euphoria.
Receiving it from a stranger outside the queer community grosses me out (I imagine this is a feeling similar to what being catcalled is like).
Receiving it from a friend would probably cause intense euphoria.
Receiving it from my boyfriend would probably turn me on and cause the highest euphoria I've ever felt and then some.
But my friends will probably never say it to me in person because they don't know me as someone who would like that, and my boyfriend is long distance so without his physical presence, just receiving a text would prove ineffective.
All that just to ask... can this be fixed? Can I feel euphoria from these magic words?
And if not... is there a similarly effective and available trick or solution? (mtf)
It's may be a small thing, but I'm desperate because I need to balance out my dysphoria that is disproportionate in volume compared to my euphoria.
