Any book recommendations for being a confident man? I grew up without a father and sometimes I feel like I’m lacking confidence or I let people trample over my ideas or I’m the only quiet one in a room. I don’t want to overreact and be seen as an “overly aggressive” person but I don’t want to be seen as “timid” either.

Find a male mentor. Not sure books are the best tool.

You’ll need to spend time with male figures that you respect and build off of those relationships.

One of my guy friends dad died when he was 11 and he has amassed dozens of male mentors for spiritual, professional and personal relationships.

Be careful but there are some great older men that would love to impart knowledge.

Good luck 🍀

It feels like we are friends who sleep together. I can’t tell if it’s healthy or if we just have no emotional spark. Idk... I feel like wanting romance is not a bad thing, right?
