I like playing games that let you make your own avatar, so I can make one that looks like how I wish I did. Also online dollmakers. Then I just daydream everyday situations but instead of me, I imagine that avatar doing what I would do.

Ahahhah I don't.... ._. I just cope.. But sometimes I feel better when I wear baggy clothes or clothes I really like .. dressing masculine.. make up that makes me look more masculine .. stuff like that Or just refusing to be sad and telling myself I'm hot even if I'm average at best

I'm FTM and I've actually taken a lot of comfort in male Kpop idols and Genshin characters lately. Many of the male characters are not traditionally masculine, but are still fawned over by the fans as attractive men. There are a couple that look very similar to how I do now, and it is very validating to know that these characters that look like me are unquestionably seen as men. It's obviously not a one-size-fits-all solution but it's helped my confidence a lot
