One of my favorite memories when I was a late teen. My two closest friends sat me down and told me that I was starting to act weird as fuck. I self reflected, realized they were right and corrected course. I wonder how many weird dudes out there didnt have friends that were willing to point out their faults.

[rebellerene]

my boyfriend will do that. not like scheduled appointments, but he's really observant of others, and he'll point something out to me if he notices it. it's helped me notice and correct a lot of my bad habits, and i appreciate that he tells me honestly and transparently, but it's never cruel. it's also very flattering when he points out something that he likes or thinks is cute. he's just the best.

I hate questions like "how would others describe you" because, how the f would I know that?

[MrQuantumInc]

That would be insanely expensive, but also possibly worth it.

I am self reflective enough to know I wouldn’t survive that.

So, story time. When I was in high school and up until my early 20s I was a "nice guy". I'm decent looking (despite some major self-esteem and self-confidence issues), so I still had some minor success with girls, was even engaged, at one point. It ended badly because both of us were toxic as fuck, emotionally abusive and manipulative, just in different ways. Anyways, in the aftermath of that breakup, I was going on one of my self-entitled "nice guy" rants about how great I was and how women don't appreciate good men, when one of my close friends, let's call her Pollyanna (not her real name), absolutely laid into me. Honestly, I think she'd been holding this shit back for seven years, since we met in high school. And she was right. I was an _asshole._ And to be honest, even 16 years later, I still struggle with some of those behaviors, but I'm aware of them now and can stop myself when I recognize myself acting like a douche. It made me into a better person and a better partner. I think everyone needs a friend like that.

I really need this as well, but like it’s with totally no harsh judgement and no hard feelings, just a calm explanation.

Consensual and hired stalking???
“Hey, I don’t know if you noticed, but there’s this guy who’s been following you for the last few blocks.”
“Oh, that’s just Jim. Don’t worry, I’m paying him. Say hi, Jim!”
“Hi!”

Move in with my old Italian grandmother. 👵
She'll let you know...

When i was in elementary school i used to think, often, that my life would be better if i could objectively record my daily ongoings and show the record to someone. Maybe with proof someone would believe me, or see the problem.

I think that’s a pretty clear sign of some traumatic experience honestly.

Journaling is probably the closest you can get to that. It won't be able to let you see yourself from an outside perspective, but it cant still shed light on some of the more subtle things about yourself

[tychonchosha]

I have had this exact thought multiple times and I agree fully, this is what I need.

[Dogrub]

My autism does this for me, it will retell me what happened but make me look like the most awkward person ever and ended up course correcting and changing how i type and act at least 3 times over the past 4 years

[taiyoqun]

Therapy. I think that's part of therapy. Good luck?

[mudpie]

Exactly and not just tell me what is wrong with me but what they like as well because having people tell you that you're a worthless piece of trash is just normal

[adamruuth]

Record yourself on youtube and leave comments up.

People will tell you what's wrong with you.

This is called a naturalistic study. Find a psychologist and show some papers and let them have at it. I bet they'd have a blast

[Fen_Fox]

I had a friend tell me I should go talk to one of the schools guidance counselor, who within a couple meetings told me she couldn’t professional diagnose anyone but she was pretty sure I at least had depression and maybe anxiety and should get professional help for that. I managed to do so eventually and I’m so thankful for her telling that to my face bc despite having a special interest in psychology at the time, I somehow never connected the dots to my own situation😅. Just got similar treatment from my current psychiatrist who told me I might want to look into getting tested for adhd, idk how I’m going to do that but like noted and on my list for the hopefully foreseeable future

Fun fact! Unless you are actively doing harm in the world, it’s better to structure life around how you are than to go on some journey to be different. So you talk “too much” - find people who love that about you or match your energy. Find a job that gets it out of your system. Pick a hobby that makes you proud of what a good communicator you are.

So much more fulfilling to find your place in this world than to keep shoving yourself into holes you think are prettier

Hire a pi for a month but to start on one of their choosing with in the next 4 months, after they've given you what they've found book an appointment with a therapist, one that specializes in guided self improvement, then go from there
