In the search for validation amongst close friends, I feel like it's getting annoying for them.

At the time of writing, I'm very much still in the closet regarding my identity. There's just a couple of people who I've actually told. I also have somewhat bad anxiety and it's playing havoc with me. Whilst I know that those who I've told would not be afraid to tell me to shut up, I feel like I'm sounding like a broken record. Gender dysphoria is driving me to find validation, and whilst my friends do provide that, surely there's too much? I feel like I'm just talking too much about my situation.

So to those, you know who you are, don't be afraid to tell me to shut up.
