Greetings!
For the bulk of my life, I have had serious anxiety around relationships stemming from not knowing where I fit in this world. My parents divorced when I was 7, I grew close to my mom who started drifting more blue pill. She remarried, my stepdad would often say things that were rude and not things you say to little girls; I came to resent him, which developed into a deep hatred for each other and a lot of fighting. I made a vow to avoid anything he stood for. I spent five years like that- it's not until reading through this subreddit that I recognize that I don't hate "Red Pill" thinking, I just hate him.
The next part is a TL;DW I moved out of a college house, dropped 40 pounds, started acting like an adult. Started throwing myself out there. Met a really cool Alpha who ended up pursuing another girl. I started hitting up old high school friends I'd turned down in because I was terrified of relationships.
This is where I turn to you all. Every thread is educational; you're all so invested and intelligent that the conversations here are A+ quality. I've gone on so many tangents, from following a lead to SkinCareAddiction, to Homemaking, how to interact with guys, I just don't know where to start. The questions I'm asking are these:
- If you had to give a sheltered woman, who was solidly blue pill trying to change, six things to focus on what would they be? You don't have to expand on them, but feel free if you think you should. Things like "Fitness", "Homemaking", etc.
- What is one thread you found when you first started that helped you the most?
I really appreciate any guidance you all can give. I have been loud, bossy, overbearing and b****y for the last few years of my life thinking it was 'giving in' to a bullspit stepdad to be anything else. I was unhappy, indecisive, and could never understand why no one ever asked me out (why would they? That behavior is akin to a high strong toddler). This sub fills me with a lot of hope.
