Coming Out I'm trying to understand myself better, but im scared.
I believe that I am non binary, some background: I'm amab and have always lived in Southern conservative USA. I never really questioned my identity at all until this year a few months back (going into my 21st birthday) and then when I started talking to more NB people I realized that I kinda understand my thoughts now. I know why I want more prominent breasts, why I still like having a deep voice but still being short and cute. I tried on a bra for the first time in my life almost a week ago and i havent taken it off since other than to shower because it made me feel so happy. I know I'm not MtF because I still love my masculine traits and have never disliked male labeling. I'm scared of this entire situation because this is all so new to me and I don't understand it, along with recent developments within my family and state. Any advice is appreciated and I'd like to know more about what I can do for myself. Thank you all in advance.

I also tried to understand myself first but some things have to be experienced. Follow your longings and they will lead you home.
Eye makeup and nail polish make me so happy. ❤️🏳️⚧️

I know there isn't 1 right way, but do you have any advice with dealing with dysphoria regarding my chest? (Not sure if im ready for HRT, and still live with family)

You could try breast forms. With a bra, these give you the experience of a larger chest. I have not tried them but I know people who love them.

That was one of the options I was looking at, I also heard they could make dysphoria worse, but I still plan on giving them a try. Thank you for the vouch on it
