Hi everybody a few months ago I got thrown a really difficult breakup from my girlfriend for 2.5 years. And I was reading a lot.. And I got to a realization that maybe I need to work on some aspects on my character.

I know that I can be very pushy, very goal driven almost addicted to my work studies and other things I do..

Most of my live I was/am a loner and from a low class family with no diploma with a criminal past now I am about to graduate as a dentist in Europe.

I never relied on no one and in order to succeed I have developed a strong and difficult character, I am mostly interested in the study and find it quite difficult not to be arrogant and no to speak only about myself sometimes humiliating other people in the process.

During this relationship and other before that one I have never appreciated my girlfriend and was always thinking she wasn't good enough for me.. And was very pushy from the POV that she must read more or be better and effectively enjoying my relationship very little

Most of my time I have spent studying and working being often late or canceling things we were supposed to do together.

In this process or maybe from childhood I have never really Loren d how to make friends and develop social skills.

Now I want to change I want to improve myself in order for me to learn how not to be the arrogant buster how to develop good interpersonal relationships not only with women and to learn how to converse not only about the books that I am reading.

Before you all tell me to go to therapy I am in therapy

In my mind, there are many things that are not working and in any way I would like to understand what they are and how to work on time

But I don't really know how.. So I was wondering maybe someone can shed me some light now how to start understanding, what do I need to change and how to start working on it...

Reading infinite amounts of psychology books doesn't seem to do the trick..
