Teknoe Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Over the past 2-3 years I've grown a little complacent and far more introverted/private. I've been meaning to strike a better balance but after a while the norm just becomes the norm especially if you let it. Well, I let it... and I knew deep down although I was "safe" I wasn't happy because I wasn't taking enough risks/challenges to grow myself. Recently I took a cooking and fitness bootcamp class which both pushed me beyond my comfort zone. I also made some same sex friends (guys) and that's something severely lacking in my life. It's great to be able to shoot the breeze and have a connection with another guy... it's kinda made me a little more masculine. Definitely makes me more confident as I felt in the past when I'm around other guys I feel not very masculine and even uncomfortable. Now that I'm getting back in the swing of interacting comfortably with other guys, I'm not so much intimidated by other guys when I go out. I guess I have/had a tendency to subconsciously compare myself to other guys, and when I do so, I feel like most guys are ahead of me in life. But I don't feel that way as much anymore. Also I'm talking to a girl online through a dating website, and we've been really connecting. All in all, my confidence is at an all time high, and I've heard some coworkers mention that I'm different (in a good way) since the summer. Nothing like renewed confidence I tells ya! 3
