WHOA. JUST FUCKING WHOA...Upon the recommendation of another member earlier in this thread I read the book "No More Mr. Nice Guy" today. That book may single handedly be responsible for bringing about some serious changes in my life.I've never had somebody put into words EXACTLY how I feel. I've known for a number of years that my behavior and attitudes were and are a large part of the reason I'm not happy with life. The author of that book pretty much laid out my life and all it's fucked up glory on paper without ever meeting me.Not only that but he touched on why I am the way I am and why me being Mr.Nice Guy is always gonna fail. There are some seriously bad emotional defense mechanisms from my youth that have followed me into adulthood.Lying in an effort to seek approval from people,being passive-aggresive,putting others needs before mine,seeking relationships with "damaged goods", the list goes on and on.The book also explained my sexual disfunction and behavior.This has been an intense last few weeks to say the least...My quest to get laid and change things in my life for the better continues...
That book sounds great.
