I had feelings for my friend of 2 years and she didn’t reciprocate, she only saw me as her friend and nothing more. I’m only 18, and I’ve dealt with insecurity and low confidence for a while. When that happened with me I blamed myself a lot, tried to find what I did wrong and overall it brought down my self confidence and self worth. and that heartbreak made me realize that I have some personal issues. I know this behavior is seen as “beta”. As someone who is young and has dealt with these types of issues, how do I stop these “beta” thoughts and become more alpha? I’ve always been sort of a sensitive person that feels emotions very deeply, when I reflect on myself and see that I’m being beta I just start to hate and blame myself more. How can I change and start becoming more alpha and manly? I really don’t know where to start tackling these issues or how to love myself/become the best version of myself.
