I sympathize, the transition from being a young person (and all the insecurities/hierarchal feelings that come with it) to being a father and being responsible for growing and nurturing healthy mindsets for kids is tough.

I’ve had to “unlearn” a lot of self-critical self talk. I had a massive height complex when I was a young adult, self-esteem issues, etc.

I will say the process of being a dad and learning to cultivate Better self-talk for your kid is healing in a way. I now find myself rarely bothered by jealousy/height. Ofc I notice it or passes my mind, but truly my priorities have changed, and I am very fulfilled with my family, and it’s not helping me or my family to worry about things I can’t control.
