You sound much like me, just better


I just want to add to what Bill said...


You mentioned being very strong, that circumstances shaped you that way...


My former therapist said the same about me.


He said that we all have female & male traits to our personalities, and because of me always having to be strong, my male traits developed more prominently, and that because of their dominance they override my female traits.


Of course our conversation was not based on the same topic, my issue is that idk how to be taken care of, how to be vulnerable etc, but like Bill said to you, he also told me that there was nothing wrong with thinking like a man. That I shouldn't be ashamed or scared of my strengths.


Idk, if its really troubling you, and I mean you personally, not the people complaining about you, then I would suggest maybe trying to pin point something you can work on. Like for instance compromise, its something we can all work on and benefit from.


Personally, nobody has had an issue with the the type of person I am, so maybe you'd also wanna take a look at the caliber of people you're associating with.
