I've followed this sub for years on multiple accounts, and I have to say, it's been eye-opening.

To explain a little bit I wanna go into detail about my personal life.

When I was younger I used to be really insecure, and my insecurities were manifest in the way I treated other people. I had terrible trust issues, lack of confidence and was overall awful to be around.

I wouldn't say I was necessarily a TRP thinker, but much of my mindset could be categorized as TRP. My expectations about women, sex, relationships, other men, interacting, etc. I was a mess.

I would expect my girlfriends to be overly sexual and basically be my slave when it came to my hormonal desires. I would always worry that my gf talking to another guy meant she was planning to cheat on me. I would be a dick to everyone else cause I thought my gf would think it's hot. I was sexist and loathe some, to say the least.

However, since following this sub and reading everyone's comments, my eyes have started to be opened quite a bit. I've started realizing that sex isn't something that should be used to control and isn't just something that a woman does for a man. I've come to realize that if my gf has friends that are guys it's not a big deal. I've come to realize I can be happy without putting others down.

I'm a lot happier because of what I've learned from this subreddit. Lots of people say we're bullies or whatever, but this sub has seriously helped me fix my perspective and feel genuine security, happiness and love.

That's all I really wanna say. I don't contribute much, and I don't expect to be noticed or anything, I just wanna put it out there that this sub has genuinely helped me in my own life.

Thanks y'all.
