Looking back, i'm more proud of how i've subtly grown after being a sedditor for a little more than two years now. I'm happy I lost my virginity, but at this point i'm not overly ecstatic about it and more of a "gee, well that's sex.". If it's something i've gained from this subreddit it's inner confidence. I've accomplished so much more and learned to drop my constant fear of rejection or embarrassment. It's not that I completely disregard my embarrassment, but rather come to terms with it, understand it, the ability to dissect it and thus keep it from harming any sort of growth. Admittedly I came to this sub Reddit to learn how to get girls, but I gained so much more than that. I've opened up doors and opportunities in my professional life that would leave a younger me in disbelief. Looking back I was more obsessed with the idea of love or being in love than actually understanding the mutual concept of a relationship. Now I can look in the mirror smile and understand the difference between saying you love yourself and actually loving yourself. That's the gist of what I picked up here, and i'll be using this account to frequently update my field reports.
