So many transing susceptible people are very inwardly focused. No wonder parents are advised to saddle their ROGD kids with some responsibility; Something external to care for and attend to in order to get them out of navel gazing. And I heard it kinda works for these types of trans. It can explain why most dysphoria tends to go away by adulthood. Increased responsibility, ambitions, and independence gives people something to balance out the hyper focus on oneself.

Of course, the flip side of it exists too, in which one can focus on too much of what other people think about their natural behavior, and that's why they trans. They're always thinking of how they can change themselves to satisfy the needs and desires of other people. And if they just thought of what they themselves wanted for once, they would be dandy. It seems like a nice balance between "selfishness" and "selflessness" is ideal.
