IDK if I just care about her that much cuz we are close to being 6 months in, or because I'm just a pussy .How many relationships have you been in that have lasted over a month? Because anxiety is pretty par for the course when you're new to dating and afraid of fucking something up. | ||

No but at least it means he's not alone. How society plays out, especially with the capitalistic ideologies, you have to "be the best" in life to succeed which is actually a scary idea... If everyone's the best, what if you're the worst? So on average, I would say (without backing data, just opinion) that most people tend to, if not outright lie about accomplishments, over-exaggerate the actual accomplishment in a way to make it seem better. This isn't everyone, but I would wager it's a fair majority. I have been guilty of this once or twice, especially on the internet where Internet anonymity is easily used. | ||

Some do the opposite. You don't want the people you're talking to to feel inferior themselves, so you don't emphasize your accomplishments much. There is always a fine balance to find so that everybody can feel somewhat at ease in a social exchange. | ||

I've done way more drugs than I ever should have. The longer I'm away the better I will stay. I don't trust anyone, ever. I also have very good reasons not to. But I need to learn to give people a chance. | ||

Take some advice from a 26 year old dude whose had a 7 year relationship.. And who started out exactly how you are starting this one out.. If you don't chill out and take a more confident, relaxed, manly role.. You will lose that relationship (or worse, lose her respect in it)! Just some friendly advice. | ||
