Adorable! My brain sees a patch of a ginger cat style to the right of the face and just below

I know, right? Especially if the doctor is that floofy and blissed out

Great shot, and I really like the wood and white combination

I love the look on the other cat's face: I got woken up for this too and I'm not even mentioned in the toot

Void: That's not good catiquette, but I won't say anything

General: Baby steps 😤!! And being patient and gentle with yourself while you're learning! I'm only doing hair and that alone can be so overwhelming. So, my big picture advice would be to pick a basic but meaningful hair goal and/or makeup goal and just work on those. Once you have those under your belt, pick another, etc. For me, the overwhelm came from trying to tackle many things at once. So for hair, my first thing was just to get a shampoo and conditioner product & routine that worked for me. With that crossed off, my attention turned to drying and styling, and then you keep exploring, learning, and improving with time (or so I've heard).

Practical: I think those curls could look better (more definition, less frizz) without crazy effort. Are you satisfied with your shampoo and conditioner routine (including anything else you do after you wash your hair [ie, product, drying method])? Also, youtube (or an anonymous frontend) is kind of like the Bible for learning haircare skills as an adult ime, and I have no doubt the same applies for makeup. That was a realization for me, as I don't use YT much, but video tutorials are helpful

Hey Sky, I remember you posting in the past. I'm sorry you're still struggling with these issues. In line with most people here, I think you do look feminine but there's a lack of confidence probably stemming from a not-great relationship with your appearance.

I hope to add some new thoughts here. I have pretty similar hair to you. It can feel like a blessing and a curse, because it can look great but it's a lot of effort (especially from an AMAB perspective on haircare). I'm gradually learning more and more and it's one of the most gender-affirming things I have going for me. I think maybe if you can focus on liking a bit of your appearance more than you might start feeling a little better and more hopeful about your appearance overall. Here are some easier things you can try with your hair. It looks like you part your hair down the middle - try parting it on one side. Try a 'messy bun' with a ponytailer. Try some 'half up' big claw hairstyles. Feel free to let me know how it goes. Good luck, I'm rooting for you :)

I love that cleaning pose with the rear leg straight up
