two of my biggest problems:

  1. basically just being too thin skinned (taking everything too serious, from girls and otherwise, simply because i hadn't had the valuable life reference experiences that made what everyone say from this point onward invalid. for example: look anxiety. i am 24 but i look 18 or 19. girl / guy says i look really young. you have to be able to get to the point where you stop fucking identifying with the other person's words and identify with your own inner vibe, which honestly comes from your soul. i've had the life experiences of 24 years around the sun. period.

  2. waiting for permission from others to act cool/confident/masculine, as if it's some sort of thing you have to meet certain requirements to do. fuck that, just do you.
