17 years old (18 this month)

I am completely shifting my social environment soon (changing country) and continuing high school there.

Shortly put, i've inherited 90% of my grandfather's personality, and that it pretty blue pill, shy, non-decisive, asking for approval. I am lucky I was observant enough to notice it. Disclaimer, this aint an excuse, just explaining to you my situation. I, by all means, want to change this, so excuses are not my thing.

In consequence, all my life i've had good friends but no real respect, and i know it!'s my fault, maybe because of joking too much, always talking, being always present kind of dude. Some sort of a nice guy.

I now need to change this, how can I establish myself as a different man? One whose time is respected. I need to take advantage that no people know me in that country so i'll be starting from 0 there.

I already lift, read, game girls, cultivate discipline, i am learning skills. But this personality bullshit seems pretty hard to crack.

Thank you.
