Search Results: used by a guy

I believe I am perfect like I have every gift out there. Yet I’ve still found dating to be a challenge. I’m in a stable relationship finally.

I think women are treated too well by men, look how low women think about men when they expect princess treatment, gifts, all the man’s money and effort. All these women are used to guys spoiling and being weak that they are entitled.

Women expect a perfect unrealistic guy, they all chase the same top guys. How can you treat a girl like a queen when she has been with multiple individuals before also. She let them h1t, and expects to be treated like a queen?

So uhh this might sound odd to you guys but i do think driving through the hood often for my job helped my confidence a bit. Some of you here may know i deliver food for my main job around my city and often times i go into the poor parts.

As a once scrawny (now bulky) white guy i used to be pretty fearful driving through those parts before but since i been doing those so long.. i just don’t even think about it anymore. My fear has been virtually wiped out. I have zero issues even sometimes talking with folks in those areas. They’re just normal folks y know lol. And yeah i think doing this has helped me feel more confident in myself. by the way even at night i don’t get anxious or anything!

how are you when you drive through those areas in your city?

I've been thinking, and I've come along a train of thought which holds not wanting to ask for help as a culprit for a ton of issues I've faced in the past.

As a guy, there is a desire to not rely on others for help and to handle things alone, but this is a dangerous idea as it encouraged me to step outside my lane out of a desire to prove I can handle it.

This is a huge barrier to progress as a desire to handle things alone doesn't mean I will succeed, it just means I need to step back and humble up, ask the right questions, have an experienced person handy, and then maybe.

But this "I gotta do it alone", that needs to stop. While I don't intend to rely on others, I do intend to educate myself more, explore my natural skillsets while gaining new ones, and knowing my place.

One instance where I felt ashamed to accept help was last year when I was hospitalized for a serious lung infection which came as a result of my alcohol problems leading to being taken off Trikafta, a medication for my Cystic Fibrosis which has done nothing less than give me a new life.

Now alcohol is gone, Trikafta is back, coughing and labored breathing are gone, too. But in the hospital, I recieved IV antibiotics, but the IV machine kept on stopping.

Not wanting to keep bothering nurses when all I needed was the IV machine to go back to working, I asked one nurse how to fix it, so I wouldn't be such a burden on the staff.

She giggled and playfully hit me with a newspaper, she was right, those liberties aren't mine to take, the whole reason I was sick, at all, is because I was an irresponsible mess who drank more rum than Jack Sparrow.

This issue was fixed by a PICC line being inserted in me, which I used to finish my rounds of antibiotics and from there, I changed my life but I still feel ashamed to keep hitting the call button when I just needed the machine to work again.

Have you felt ashamed to ask for, or accept assistance from others?
