For context I’m an AMAB ENBY. I went prom dress shopping today with my two siblings, and at first it felt amazing, but once the high wore it felt horrible and I’m like on the verge of crying. For many reasons:

1. My mom was supposed to be there. But she wants nothing to do with my prom basically. She initially told me I couldn’t have a send off. And then told me she couldn’t see me in a dress, but felt offended when I took it as she wasn’t coming.
2. My brother agreed to come but then pulled out because he couldn’t see me in a dress, which didn’t make sense because I’m confused on what he agreed to go shopping for in the first place lol.
3. Imposter syndrome hit me hard. I’m AMAB but pretty femme and it just felt wrong shopping for a dress.
4. If I wore a tux I wouldn’t be worrying right now. I’d know where I’m getting my tux from, what it looks like, and how it fits, I’m not even sure I’m gonna be able to pay for my dress.
5. I’m so close to just getting a tux, or just wearing jeans to prom.
