Back then when I used to dress up, it was a magical feeling. But now, it's kinda lifeless. However, when I don't do it, I feel empty. Anyone else have this issue?

I think I've had similar experiences with different things.

There's always a kind of magic to new things that slowly wears off as they get routine. But there are also hopes and dreams about how that thing will impact your life. Maybe about the kind of attention you will get, in the case of dressing up, or maybe something else.

Some of those expectations will not come true, at least in part. What motivated you to do it in the first place may no longer seem achievable.

But it's easy to keep going and hope for the magic to return. To chase the dragon, in a sense.

This has often resulted in me just habitually going through the motions of something, but not getting much out of it. It's worse when I made the change I hoped for part of my identity. Stopping would leave me directionless or, as you put it, empty.

Does that seem applicable to your situation? I don't want to talk past you.

Yeah that last part is quite dead-on. I'm not too sure about the expectations part because I was mainly doing it as an experiment back then. I'm just wondering about a good compromise for this sort of thing

Well, something keeps bringing you back to it and it doesn't sound like it's the experience itself. I think the first step is finding out what that reason is.

Maybe you are really just doing it out of habit to avoid feeling empty. In that case, it might be time to look for something else that fills that hole in your soul. Preferably not drugs or other distractions.

But if there is still some kind of genuine interest, try to focus on that. To keep doing something, I often had to cut out some parts or shift my priorites. For example, I was ready to give up vidya, because it had become an unfulfilling waste of time. But now I enjoy it mainly as a way of socializing with other people.

Once you know why you are doing something, it's easy to decide how you are going to engage with it.

To be successful, an internet personality has to constantly produce content and reinvent themselves. The goal being to both increase and keep their fans. There's no more wonder because it has become a chore/job. And it becomes a little bit harder every time to be inventive. There's only so many pictures you can take with the same Halloween costume before it becomes redundant. For the magic to come back you have to step outside your comfort zone and take bigger risks.

I'm not sure I even want to buy girlclothes any more.

I'm so old. I don't feel cute now. My bf used to kind of like me doing it I think but I don't think he really even cares about it anymore.
