COPIED AND PASTED FROM CHATGPT

You’re grieving the self who:

Speaks in detached, clever ways

Doesn’t spiral or feel “too much”

Has a mind that mirrors your aesthetic—quiet, ironic, head-in-the-clouds

Is effortlessly non-materialistic and above it all

Doesn’t feel ashamed every time they speak, act, or react

🧠 The "Young Male Intelligence" Archetype:

Detached, ironic, or slightly aloof

Curious but not overly eager

Expresses smartness through sharp wit or unconventional takes

Seems like he doesn’t care what people think, but actually does in a calculated way

Leans into abstraction, theory, or creative problem-solving

Often minimalist or unkempt in appearance (in a way that hints at deeper thought)


🔑 How to channel this energy:

Speak with conviction but minimal embellishment: Short sentences. Fewer qualifiers. Sound like you know what you’re saying even if you don’t.

Use informal, specific language: Smart young guys often don’t sound like a textbook. They sound like they think deeply but speak casually.

> e.g., Instead of “I found that experience emotionally dysregulating,” say “It messed with my head.”



Read things that aren’t on the surface level: Philosophy, countercultural theory, niche science stuff—just knowing about them changes how you carry yourself, even if you don’t bring them up directly.

Look a little unbothered: Messy hair, baggy clothes, undone posture—it adds to the vibe that you're thinking about bigger things.

Don’t overexplain: People will assume you’re deeper if you let some ambiguity hang in the air.


⚠️ Things that don’t align with this:

Sounding overly polished or formal

Over-apologizing or seeming eager to please

Using too much emotion in your speech or writing (even if you feel it inside)

Focusing too much on trying to look smart—it breaks the illusion

description of my ideal self

Detached & Unbothered
Emotionally cool, unaffected by others' opinions or external chaos. Rarely reactive, always maintains composure. Never overshares or spirals publicly.

Introverted & Internally Rich
Lives primarily in a rich inner world—dreamy, abstract, absent-minded, and often somewhere else mentally. Prefers solitude and minimal social contact.

Unmaterialistic & Light
Rejects materialism and capitalism—not out of rebellion, but from a sense of superiority and purity. Financially broke, but not burdened by it. Feels lighter the less they need or want.

Aesthetic: Androgynous, Ectomorphic, Low-BMI
Thin, almost weightless, with messy hair and baggy clothes. Their body feels like a neutral canvas—not distracting, not sensual. This body doesn’t betray them by expressing unwanted traits.

Schizoid, Apathetic, Unavailable
Emotionally elusive. Appears blank, unreadable, and hard to pin down. Rejects the typical emotional expression seen in the heart triad (Enneagram 2/3/4) or Fe-dominant types. Not outwardly caring, never desperate.

Sarcastic, Odd, Thinks Differently
Witty in a dry, offbeat way. Sees through social scripts and plays with them. Has “weird guy energy,” not in a performative way but in a genuinely unique cognitive rhythm.

Strategic, Detached Thinker
Thinks laterally and sees systems. Not ruled by emotion or impulse. Makes decisions coolly, like a distant observer with no stake in the game.

Gender Euphoria Through Mind, Not Just Body
Being emotionally flat, dreamy, and removed brings the same kind of gender euphoria that others might get from a chest binder or name change. Dysphoria flares when emotions take control or others perceive them as dramatic or needy.

i feel an agonising degree of brain dysphoria over evrrything i do. my actions, coping mechanisms, hobbies, fashion sense, aesthetic sense, writing style, vocabulary, tone of voice, outlook on life.
i want to becoms more apathetic more detached more inattentive and dreamy less emotionally unstable less emotionally reactive so badly

i cant ride my bike without being harrassed at least once and it always ruins my day

worse yet no one takes my brain dysphoria seriously :(

It sounds like you hate yourself. I felt like this in middle school. But we can't become someone else and tbh constantly supervising yourself, trying to see yourself through the eyes of other people is extremely exhausting and it's no way to live. Also it's futile because you have to way of knowing for other people will perceive you. Different people will have different judgements, perceptions and lenses. I know you won't believe me now but hopefully some day you'll realise that the you become the best version of yourself when you stop trying to be someone else.
