I just wanted to share my journey this year — it's been one hell of a ride, and I couldn't be more grateful for this subreddit. I'm 24 now, and for the first 23 years of my life, I was introverted, practically ignoring women because I was too afraid to approach them. But this year, I experienced relationships for the first time.

I had my first heartbreak this year and also ended a relationship because I started valuing myself more. Through this subreddit, I learned how to approach women, gain more confidence, and most importantly, never settle for less.

I also learned that I should focus on myself, and a relationship is just a bonus. Finding someone that can mix into your life without compromising themselves is something we should be looking for.

Thank you everyone for your support and wisdom. and I can't wait for next year!
