Growing up, I had a very sheltered, privileged upbringing. My mother heavily babied me into my teens (and still tries to at 19). My father was very dominating and I was always submissive to him and his demands even if they were ridiculous.

In any case, for most of my life I have been submissive and taken advantage of by other males.

Over the last year, I have been reading a lot of TRP and am significantly more assertive and much stronger than I was. I am also not as naive as I was before. However, I am still more naive and innocent to the outside world than I would like to be.

What are things I can do to help me become more street-smart/aware?

I have progressed significantly since I begun reading the Red Pill and am no cuck.. however I want to be in the top of the totem pole among men and am willing to put in effort to accomplish that.
