This was almost 15 years ago. A couple of years before I even realized I was trans, I was trying to cope, and was dealing with some body image issues related to feeling like I was too thin as a guy. As a way of compensating, this meant I had a habit of wearing baggy clothes to make myself look bigger (even during summer), and long sleeves to hide my thin arms that made me insecure. Because I wanted to pursue a career in game development, I started this programming course in college. On my first day there, I realized that I was the only student in my class with programming experience, and that my first year was going to be a walk in the park. Then right before class ended that day, the teacher told us that we'd be expected to bring our gym clothes the next day to some sort of introduction event involving sports activities, to get to know the other students a little bit better. I immediately panicked, because I was afraid people would then see my thin arms. (I guess all of a sudden I forgot about the existence of long sleeve sportswear) After I got home, I made up excuses to my parents about why I didn't like this course, and that I had a bad first impression. I then made the call, and told them I wanted to drop out. And that was that. One of the most bizarre and dumbest decisions I've ever made.

Funny thing is, I had a lot of athletic talent when I was a teenager, so I could've shown off. :yea: At least I never stopped programming though.
