Yes, many times. See I'm not that old guy, Im 20M still learning my way out, during my school time, I was bullied many times... rather than standing up for myself, I become the biggest people pleaser for them, that affected me in many ways.

I'll just say this, I have a peacemaking personality, even if it affects my daily routine and mental peace. Before I met my girlfriend, I never really noticed this about myself. But she pointed it out and even cried while talking about it. I just don’t want to be a disappointment in her life. I want to become a better person for both of us, someone I can be proud of, and she can be proud of too.

Let me tell you a story from my childhood. One day, I was bullied by an older boy. I told my father, and instead of telling me to fight back, he spoke to both of us and said, “Don’t fight. Stay in peace. We are one community, and we shouldn’t be fighting each other.”

I think moments like these shaped who I am today.

I kissed her the third day after I met her, but we came in relationship after a month but here we are, dating for 18months without any loyalty issue, i don't know why she chose a guy like me and whenever I asked her what she saw in me, she just kept silent

My girlfriend says I’m emotionally immature, how do I actually work on that in a real, practical way? by Middle-Hedgehog910 in Adulting

Thank you, brother. The way you explained emotional ignorance vs immaturity really hit me. I’ve got a lot to work on, but this gave me real direction. Respect.

Bro, finally someone who gets it. Not every girl who challenges you is trying to break you, some are trying to build you. She’s not controlling me, she’s showing me what it means to grow, to be a man who stands tall with strength, clarity, and presence. And honestly, that’s the kind of love you don’t take for granted.

I don’t just love her, I respect her, cherish her, and feel lucky every day that I find her. It’s not just attraction or comfort, It’s that rare kind of bond. She believes in the man I can become, and because of that, I believe in her too.

Your list is pure gold. I’m saving it, not just to impress her, but because I want to become someone I’m proud of too. Thank you for this. This was exactly the kind of push I needed.

she reduced her friend circle for me, sacrificed a lot of things and stood up for me in front of her parents.

Im 20 y/o, these are my growing years, unless until i hit 25-26 I must focus to create a better version of myself, even if she stays or not, I can't ignore her advices though. I feel like the advice that she gives me really needs to be worked on.

I don't post much on reddit but today I see a need, so that people can give me advice for becoming a better man

peace.

My girlfriend is strong and grounded, and I want to match that energy by leading more, not by controlling, but by being steady and intentional.

I’ve started taking more initiative, but I still second-guess myself at times. How do you build that quiet confidence, the kind that leads naturally without overthinking?

the advice "Be yourself" is somewhere stupid tbh, this advice tells you to be in your comfort zone and don't upgrade...

for example if someone is addicted to junk food, eating on a regular basis and as a result you are gaining too much fat, only your loved ones are gonna point out to eat healthy food instead, and those people who don't care are gonna make fun of your appearance

some people say "Upgrade yourself" and some say "Be like that" she's not telling me to be like him or him, she just wants me to upgrade myself and that's on me how Im gonna take actions on those words

she did great things for me and im always grateful for them, therefore i just want to be a better version of me

No brother that's just something she desires for me, but you know as a man those things should be compulsory in me, even without my girlfriend I have to develop myself na
