Alright, for some reason, whenever I dress up like a boy, I feel more confident and feel more like I don't have to worry about stuff as much. Anyone else or is it just me

One day

Casual comfortable pants with pockets.

A slightly form fitting polo shirt with a sports bra.

looked more like a guy, and I liked it.

Walk out of my room.

Mom takes one look at me and just says.

... that looks very... ugly (it's Chinese she didn't say this in English but i couldn't find another English word. literal term is not good look.)

I was shocked and argued with her for a minute then I went and changed to a skirt.

with shirt.

didn't match at all.

then she said I looked very pretty.

We went out I just felt like more vulnerable for some reason

I'm so confused why
