First book I’m reading is No More Mr. Nice Guy. I know I have nice guy tendencies. I was blind to them the first time around and tried to change that behavior since. I think i made progress but there’s still more to change. I dont deal with problems directly. I dont set boundaries. Have never had a lasting, good sexual relationship. I do seek approval. I’m a fixer. And I lack as many meaningful men relationships as other guys I know, although I havent supplemented that with women. It’s more like a lack of friendships.
Some of the things I think I changed: I accept myself, at least much more. I was far less likely to hide behavior from W compared to XW.
When J make the list, I realize I didnt make as much progress as I thought.
