Well, for us it was a lot of introspection and surrounding ourselves with people who wouldn't be upset with us for being ourself. Also, hrt. HRT is magic (and I felt a lot better once I started injections rather than pills).
If you're allowing yourself to be yourself and not suppressing your emotions, then all you really need is time.
As for how to tell them apart, well, I am less jealous of others now that I like the way I look more, and if I want to dress or act a certain way I just do that. So i'm projecting onto others less, so I have less opportunities to get those feelings confused.
Thank you! I have thought about HRT a lot and my therapist actually specializes in that so I should probably talk to them about it more. I am doing a lot better at being myself but still struggle (also doubting myself when I am myself because am I doing this because it is who I am or because it is who I want to be, and does that even make sense?)
Impostor syndrome is common. Honestly, don't overthink it: whatever you are drawn to is part of who you are, and if it's something you want and would make you happy then why not?
