Why my boyfriend calls himself gangster?

[Anonymous]

He is grown up man but talking sh”t like I’m gangsta bla bla bla.. like come on what do you trying to convince me about? I like him as he is but he thinks he sounds more powerful and masculine when he calls himself gangster -_-

Sounds like he's insecure. Like 99% of gangsters. The other 1% are sociopaths that know how to exploit the posers to make themselves rich.

Have you tried reassuring him that you like him for himself and he doesn't need to prove anything to you? He might think he needs to act this way to seem cool to you, or like a bad boy.

I never told him that I like gangsters or bad boys I don't know why he keeps saying this bullshit. How can I tell him he doesn’t need to be anything to prove himself

Honestly, just the way you said it here. just make sure the timing is right. Next time he starts his phony gangster talk, try to steer the convo towards that direction. Don't mention that bad boy thing tho. He won't believe you because it's just a minority quality for you to have. Just stick to the gangster stuff.

No problem! Best of luck to you

Real gangsters don't announce they are gangsters, sounds like he doesn't know the difference between being thug and gangster, I think what he meant to say is that he's thug, which he isn't if he feels the need to announce it, I've only met goofies with that mentality, unless I'm mistaken and he's in a gang, tell him to throw his set 💀re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

Just to see what goofy set he throws 😂

You don't call yourself gangsta. Someone else who is gangsta has to do that, but you don't call yourself gangsta.

Obviously, not grown up mentally.
