I used to hate my family, but I thought that after the transition I would be able to relate to them and that not being myself was the problem. Now, after the transition, I am sure that I hate them and I don't want to have anything to do with them. At least I'm not lying to myself by thinking that it was because I wasn't being myself. I had reasons to hate them.
I still love my friends and am kind to them, but I can say when I don't like something or someone. I don't feel the need to fit in, although I always try to be pleasant (before, I could also be unpleasant to other people just to fit in better with the rest of the group, but I no longer need to do that idiotic thing).
