I have recently begun to disclose just a bit of it. But it's really just the tip of the iceberg. There's allot more that I haven't disclosed & never will. It would just be too embarrassing.
It's wonderful to have someone that can hear all of that stuff, but we don't always get someone like that even if we are married. I feel much the same as you, though I wouldn't use the word psychosis myself.

I found when I learned to dress female enough and tidily enough, people started accepting me as a standard unit, and lesbians stopped hitting on me. I mean seriously people just react to your clothes and superficials like that. The fact I have no makeup, purse or fancy hairdo or clothes, well, it doesn't matter because I am inside some arbitrary line. Little kids look at me hopefully thinking I'm a grandma I suppose, but I don't respond to them with that typical cooing manner they expect. I have no kids. That's who I am. I'm not really a people oriented person most of the time. And that's okay. I guess what I'm saying is there's a minimal amount of facade required for me. Then again, I avoid settings where more would be expected, I suppose. I picked a career where high-polish femininity was not required. I would be miserable attempting it, not that I ever have.

Maybe some sort of art or writing would be an outlet for the weirdness? As an artist you have a lot of freedom.
Thanks for this!
