Does anyone else use a virtual platform to escape gender dysphoria?

[UnfeelingVoid]

For a long time until a few days ago, I was a frequent Discord user who used the site as a way to portray myself as my ideal appearance, personality, and way of talking. As a guy with gender dysphoria, I tried using it as a way to deal with the uncomfortable feelings of being uncomfortable as myself, but it was so pleasant that I began using it obsessively for months until I deleted my account.

Has anyone else done something similar through things like VR, Discord, Twitter, etc.?

I’ve done this exactly, on multiple websites. It’s actually hard to just not do it to the point where I’ve had to stay off of some social medias because I know it’s not something I should be doing.

No but I use a virtual platform to escape reality. I prefer online/the virtual world to real life and the real world
