Sometimes I am a massive jerk without realizing it. I have pissed off and / or hurt a lot of people that I care about; often not understanding their reactions because I thought I didn’t do anything wrong. I know that this is mostly due the lack of social skills, I’m just not aware of warning signals that people give me when I go too far with my jerk game.

I think the overall consensus in the manosphere is that it is perfectly fine to be a jerk (within reason) and I agree; I’m just too much of a jerk occasionally. I used to be the notorious nice guy and now I am too far on the other side of the spectrum. Practice makes perfect I know. I also know that I will piss off more people until I find the right balance.

I'm working on it and if anybody has had similar experiences (going from the guy that is too nice to being a “jerk”) or can give me some pointers it would be much appreciated!
