guy help: I need to toughen up - Help.com

Be yourself and don’t try to please anybody. Do whatever makes you happy and don’t ask for permission.

But also realise that most people won’t think the same way as you, or won’t act the way you want them to.

So it’s better not to expect anything from nobody.
The people you know right now, probably you won’t see them anymore in 10 years so you are born alone and you’ll die alone.
That’s how I feel about life.

And treat everybody the same way you want to be treated.

dude. you can put a wall up and alienate yourself but then does that not mean people will be winning? dont put a wall up be arrogant be proud of yourself. you said you go to the gym and swim a lot. have you ever tried getting down to a boxing gym where you can just beat the crap out of a punch bag or something? try it. you will be supprised at how much just punching a bag can teach you about yourself. dont get into a fight but alwys stick up for yourself. look at liam gallagher. hes not the biggest person in the world but no one would pick a fight with him coz of his arrogance and his attitude.

Oh yeah that’s true if you are dealing with bullies you have to kick some as*. Boxing is great. I’ll give you confidence.

my daughter was the very same way, she would compliment everyone she ever met in the first few seconds of talking with them (which i feel is an amazing gift), she was what i call ultra sensitive, you could say boo to the child and it would hurt her feelings, now she is 20 and has in the last 6 years become very outspoken and can be very harsh at times but that is because she was picked on when she was younger, now that she has become outspoken she has alot of friends and i find it odd, because i really miss the sweet girl from 6 years ago. my point…don’[t change who you are, but there comes a time when you have to stop taking stuff from other people too. be strong, and best of luck to you
