Unfortunately, my funk developed when I was a teenager. I am now in my mid-50's. I have always been a serious person. Having grown up with few toys - mom thought withholding them would prevent me from being spoiled - I never really learned to play well with others. At first the T was trying to get me to be sexual but I told her that was not an option. So she suggested that I take up something frivolous. Maybe therapy really can't help me. So many other T's have failed or given up. I am an incomplete person. Often, I feel that I am less than human because there are so many basic things I don't enjoy and am not good at. My funk has only grown deeper over the years.
