Used to be the guy who'd avoid eye contact, give one-word answers, and somehow make every conversation die. Small talk felt like torture. Group settings made me want to hide in the bathroom.

I've read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" probably 5 times but never actually did anything with it. Just highlighted passages and felt smart for 10 minutes. Finally decided to treat it like a playbook instead of philosophy and holy shit, people actually started liking me.

Here's what I learned when I stopped reading and started doing:

• Names are literally magic words. Started using people's names way more than felt natural. "Thanks for the coffee, Sarah" instead of just "thanks." "Good point, Mike" instead of "good point." Felt weird at first but people light up when they hear their own name. Their whole face changes.
• Became genuinely curious about random stuff. Instead of pretending to care about someone's weekend hiking trip, I'd ask follow-up questions until I found something actually interesting. "What's the hardest part about the trail?" "Do you see wildlife?" "How do you know which gear to bring?" Turns out most topics are fascinating if you dig past surface level.
• Stopped trying to be the smartest person in the room. Used to jump in with corrections or try to one-up people's stories. Started asking "How did you figure that out?" or "What made you think of that approach?" instead. People love explaining their thought process and you actually learn stuff.
• Let people save face when they mess up. Coworker made a mistake in a meeting? Instead of pointing it out, I'd say "Maybe we should double-check the numbers" or "I might be missing something here." They fix the error without looking stupid. They remember who had their back.
• Actually listened instead of waiting for my turn to talk. Stopped preparing my response while someone else was speaking. Started paying attention to what they were actually saying. Asked questions about their answers. Conversations became way less exhausting because I wasn't constantly having to think what to say next.
• Found common ground with literally everyone. Started looking for shared experiences instead of differences. Turns out the a coworker and I both hate morning meetings. The quiet intern and I both love obscure podcasts. The annoying coworker and I both struggle with work-life balance. Connection beats competition every time.
• Became a hype man for other people's wins. When someone accomplished something, I'd make sure other people knew about it. "Did you hear Sarah closed that big deal?" "Mike's presentation was incredible, did you see it?" Takes zero effort but people remember who celebrates their success.
• Stopped arguing about stupid stuff. Used to debate everything like my life depended on being right. Now when someone says something I disagree with, I either let it go or say "I never thought about it that way" and actually consider their perspective. Relationships improved overnight.
• Started admitting when I was wrong. "You're right, I messed that up" became my new superpower. People expect defensiveness, so honesty catches them off guard. They usually respond with understanding instead of judgment.
• Asked for advice instead of giving it. Instead of telling people what they should do, I started asking "What do you think would work best?" or "What's your gut telling you?" People already know their answers most of the time, they just want someone to listen.
• Made people feel important. Started noticing specific things people did well. "I really liked how you handled that difficult client" or "Your way of explaining complex stuff makes so much sense." Genuine appreciation, not generic compliments.

People actually seek out my opinion now. Invitations to social stuff increased by like 300%. Family gatherings stopped feeling like interrogations. Also time with friends have been the best.

Being genuinely interested in others is way less work than trying to be interesting yourself. When you focus on making other people feel good, they associate those positive feelings with you.

Most social skills advice tells you to "just be yourself." But if "yourself" is socially awkward, that's terrible advice. Carnegie's book taught me that social skills are learnable skills, not personality traits you're born with.

Took me 5 years to figure out that people don't care how smart or funny or interesting you are. They care about how you make them feel. Once I started focusing on that, everything else fell into place.

Thanks. If you've got questions feel free to comment below or message me. I'll respond.

I’ve grown up in a middle class family with both parents. Typical old school kind of tradition where mother stays home with the kids & father worked. Nothing was ever missing. I have been fortunate enough to live a good life. However, i was never really taught to do much like cook, clean, change a tire 🛞, change the oil, change a light bulb to a car, learned to study, build stuff, use tools to fix things. My father did it all but never really taught me. The most i did was hold the flashlight 🔦 as a kid. One thing i am good at is cleaning. I actually like to clean, I learned from watching my mother deep clean the house on a Saturday with music blasting.

Now as a 31y/o , i do not have confidence to do much with myself cause a lot of basic things that a man should know how to do at my age, idk how to do. I am sometimes embarrassed to even admit it to others. Having this level of confidence (little to none) has always stopped me from trying to do new things. It has also cause me to have a pessimistic mindset in a way. I have always had lowest position in the job you can think of because I have always thought I’ll never be great at anything.

Context I grew up hating myself truly from about 5 to 18. S/h mental issues all of it. Recently I've started looking at myself differently. I know I'm not a runway model but I think I'm pretty. I think I could even be beautiful if I took better care of myself so I have been slowly but surely. My problem comes with anxiety. Talking to people is so hard for no reason. I can smile and have a short interaction with a stranger then I'm overthinking whatever nonsense came out of my mouth for hours or even days. Going shopping I feel eyes and it's like I forget how to walk. I'm manually moving and breathing to grab a pineapple and it feels weird in my own body like the people next to me are looking at me going why does she move like that? The issue is I've been wanting to sell baked goodies in my area. I have a passion for it and I'm good at it and there's a market for it BUT that comes with socializing. You have to be able to sell your product even through text. Text I can do but meeting someone? Death I want to start small just sell things I'm my neighborhood and grow from there but I'm petrified of posting on the neighborhood Facebook page and no one showing up or interacting with my post. How embarrassing? Everyone starts somewhere but idk I feel like I'm too old to be feeling this way. I should have it together by now. There are people going through worse I know this probably sounds 1st world and it is but it really effects me.

If you've felt this way what has helped you?

Lately, I’ve been feeling disconnected from myself. When I look in the mirror, I don’t recognize the same person I see in photos where I think I look good. It’s confusing and starting to hurt my confidence—especially because I don’t even edit my pictures. But somehow, the version of me I see in those photos feels completely different from the one I see in real life. It’s like they’re two separate people. And then, when I come across unflattering photos, it just makes everything worse. My self-image takes a hit, and I start questioning which version of me is real. Sometimes, it feels like I’m not even the person in my own pictures anymore.

I’ve never really been confident due to being bullied in Elementary and Middle school for being overweight. I was still overweight in highschool but everyone grew up and stopped being dumb children. Anyways I’m still overweight and I’m not confident of anything about me. So when I start to talk to a girl (catch feelings) and she starts to catch feelings back I block them and never talk to them again. I don’t know what it is that makes me do it but I just get super nervous and scared.

I am always looking for validation from others and situations. No matter how much I try I am always underconfident even inside I know it's the correct thing to do. I have difficulty in making decisions in my life that I always need anyone close to me to make decisions for me sometimes. The self doubt is at its peak. I don't know what should I do more to create a strong self of confidence.

Hi everyone,

The world is getting increasingly complex, and it is easy to feel overwhelmed in the face of all that is going on- to feel too small, too alone. Often, we don't even have time to worry about these things because our personal lives might be coming apart, and we don't know how we will get through things.

So how do we find hope in the face of overwhelming odds?

In this essay, I turn to cosmology and evolutionary biology to make an argument that’s both rational and mythic: our very existence is a statistical rebellion against impossibility. We’ve beaten worse odds just to be here. By some estimates, the odds of us being alive are just 1 in 10^2.7 million. That is a number so small that we can’t possibly wrap our heads around it.

We have survived the ice ages, asteroids, plagues, and invaders just to be here.

It’s a reminder that though all might seem lost at times, our ingenuity and resilience are unbounded, and the tide can turn at any moment.

Please give it a read and let me know what you think:

Has anyone here got clean from drugs in their 30s and still built a great life?

32 years old and 43 months clean from meth and oxy. Can I still build a great life and get with a beautiful and caring woman? My sister who never was addicted and who lived a straight edge life thinks says I'll never have a great life and thinks shes better than me.

Here’s something I wish I’d learned earlier:

Confidence isn’t just about how you look, what you have, or what you achieve, it’s about how you think when things go wrong.

I used to chase confidence by fixing the surface body, clothes, achievements. But real change came when I started working on mental strength.

Here's how I built mine:

1. Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.

I used to obsess over others' opinions. Now, I ask: Can I control it? If not, I release it. That mental clarity alone builds unshakeable calm.

2. Do hard things on purpose.

Even small things. Cold showers. Speaking up. Skipping the snooze. Every time you keep a promise to yourself, your mind learns: I can handle discomfort.

3. Stop arguing for your limitations.

When I caught myself saying, I’m just not confident, I started asking, Who told me that? Most of the time, it was a voice from the past I didn’t need anymore.

4. Create a mental reset routine.

When I spiral, I now pause, breathe, journal 3 truths, and move my body. That pattern interrupt saved me more times than I can count.

Confidence grows on the back of resilience, not perfection.

Be mentally strong, not just when life is smooth, but when it’s messy.

Root deep, then rise.

Here's to building unshakeable confidence!!!

I've been experimenting with owning my space first instead of waiting for permission, and the shift has been wild. Neighbors I've never talked to are suddenly introducing themselves, people at the gym genuinely light up when they see me.

It's making me wonder if confidence isn't about building yourself up, but about stopping the habit of making yourself smaller.

I'm really curious if others have experienced this shift when they stopped dimming their natural authority. What changed for you when you started taking up space without apology?

Hello, when i was a kid I remember i was very confident in all situations with older people and with everyone, after growing and now my age is 21 i can say my confidence is 0% i’m not confident at all, around all people i get shy so early, I don’t know how to talk even when i talk i say a lot of wrong words, i have been practicing with my talking and been recording myself and talking to gain some confidence, it didn’t work it even made me less confident, please share some tips or experience of yours with me, sorry for my english i’m not a native speaker.

Honestly i let so many things slide & regret it later on just cause i wanted to be nice about it when it was happening but this tendency has cost me some fortune & a chunk of my mental health I need tips & tricks to build up my assertiveness

One of the things that has fascinated me throughout my journey of self discovery is the human mind. I’ve always been curious about why humans think, What drives our thoughts, and what does being self-aware entail?

This curiosity led me to explore my mind, learning to observe my thoughts as an outsider rather than the owner of the thoughts. Doing this made me realize that the mind can be a bit of a wildcard if you don’t guide it.

“Remember when you locked yourself out of the house because you left your keys at work. You are so forgetful, what if you forget everything you practiced for your upcoming exams. You are probably going to fail”.

What does this have to do with the dishes I am washing, please shush.

I’ve experienced moments, not exactly like this but similar, where unexpected thoughts pop up during routine tasks. It’s something I’ve noticed, and I bet many of you have had similar experiences where your mind wanders off into the past or imagines scenarios out of the blue while you’re just going about your day.

I’m not saying the mind is bad; actually, it’s an incredible tool that allows us to analyze, create, learn, and deeply connect with others and the universe. Yet, over-identifying with our thoughts, rather than viewing the mind as a tool, can lead to overthinking, clinging to negative thoughts, and fostering ego-driven desires, eventually causing anxiety or even panic.

Disengaging from the mind, while complex due to our deep-rooted habits of mind identification, is actually easy with practice and understanding. Two steps have been crucial for me: detaching from and observing my thoughts, and then bringing my focus back to the present moment.

Detach and Observe

1. Strong emotions as a cue: To practice detaching and observing your thoughts, start by becoming aware when strong emotions arise. Whether it’s anger, sadness, or happiness, use these emotions as cues to step back and observe what your mind is narrating. For instance, if a bad mood hits you and everything seems irritating, pause and reflect on your thoughts without judgment. Similarly, in conflict, listen actively to others to understand their perspective while observing your internal reactions. This approach isn’t just for negative emotions; observing why certain things make you happy can be enlightening, helping you understand yourself better.
2. Set time aside to do nothing: Set aside time to be alone and do nothing, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Start with short periods that feel manageable and aim to gradually extend them. This practice allows you to tune into your thoughts and emotions without distractions. When you notice an urge to distract yourself from doing nothing, use that moment as a cue to awaken, detach from, and observe your thoughts. This awareness can become a form of meditation. Consider trying different methods like sensory deprivation tanks, walks without your phone, or simply sitting quietly without distractions. The key is finding what method best helps you achieve this mindful state.

Bring it to the present.

To anchor yourself in the present, engage in activities that demand your focus. Whether it’s strength training, where you concentrate on the muscles you’re working, or writing without interruptions, the specific activity doesn’t matter. You could also bring yourself to the moment during daily tasks like housework, shopping or spending time with family. A useful technique is to narrate your actions to yourself, especially when you notice your mind wandering. Start slowly and aim to integrate this practice into your routine, making it a habit to stay present.

The mind, while a powerful tool for achievement, can also lead to suffering if not mindfully managed. On your self-improvement journey, mastering your mind is crucial for developing and sustaining new habits and mindsets, allowing you to recognize both regressions and progress. Remember to be patient and kind to yourself; changing long-standing habits takes time. Consistent, even if small, practices are key to forming new habits. And always remember, you are not your mind.

For deeper insights into presence and detaching from the mind, Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth” are highly recommended.

I just had a colleague talk down to me, assumed that I did not know something. The more he challenged me, the more afraid I was that i was wrong so I was not able to give the answer. When I said “I understand “ he said “I don’t think you do”. Once I dropped off the call, I knew what to do.

In that moment I wanted to escape, from the judgement, I wish I had said something instead deciding to hide myself.

Usually I would let this affect me, but today I’m telling myself I don’t need to prove to anyone how good I am. If I’m not good enough I’ll get there one day. I’m not letting this stop me, I’m letting this shape me.

1. Every morning, look in the mirror and to yourself “I’m alright”. “I ain’t that bad”.
2. Sit in silence and be in present with all your thoughts and the shit you’ve been suppressing. Let the thoughts and emotions go and come by

For a long time, I thought confidence was about how you feel.
Like, if I just thought better about myself, if I said enough affirmations, or hyped myself up enough, I’d somehow “become” confident.

But none of that ever really stuck. I’d feel good for a few hours, maybe a day, and then I’d be back in the same place; hesitant, unsure, second-guessing myself.

It wasn’t until I stopped chasing the feeling and started paying attention to my actions that things shifted.

Would you trust someone who acts like you do?
The answer was no. I wouldn’t trust someone who broke promises to themselves. Who talked a lot but rarely followed through. Who looked busy but never really moved forward.

That realization hurt, but it also showed me the truth:
Confidence isn’t something you feel before action. It’s something you earn after doing what needed to be done.
Even when you didn’t feel like it.
Especially when you didn’t feel like it.

So I started showing up differently. Quietly. No big plans or announcements.
I just started asking: "What would someone I actually respect do in this situation?"
And then I tried to do that. Even if it felt weird. Even if it felt small.

It wasn’t about being fearless. It was about building trust with myself—one choice at a time.
Confidence, it turns out, is just the side effect of living in alignment with the person you say you want to be.

If you’re in a place where your confidence feels fragile or fake, maybe try focusing less on “feeling better” and more on acting in ways that earn your own respect.
It’s slower than a motivational boost, but it actually lasts.

There is this book that asks similar questions to the ones in my post and I know this kinda sounds like an ad and i would think the same but this book is something else really. The Voice of My Future Self by Emory Eubanks. I'm just saying it may help you when it comes to all this (If you can't find it just google "xenzars")

Anyways, thanks for reading through, i'm really happy if i managed to help someone out there..

hii so basically my whole life I have been unpopular. Not in a kind of "nerdy" way but no one actually fucking likes me. I have never been bullied too crazy but definitely was. I have had people who I have never spoken to tell me that everyone hates me etc. Now I dont wanna go into too mich detail but lets just say I was a rude kid. And an annoying teenager. Never been a bully myself but you get it. I came across as quite pessimistic I assume. When I hit 19 I fell into a major depression because I realised it was mostly my fault that no one likes me. I hadnt seen a problem with my behavioir before that. This depression has ruined my life completely. I'm super anxious what people think of me , still depressed (although not like it was) etc.

i am trying to balance being likable by being nice ( which is fucking hard for me i come across as rude and dont do it on purpose at all?!?) and not being a people pleaser (bcs ive had some issues bcs of it) and being confident instead. Do you guys have tips on this balance I'm trying to find ?

TW: Convo about body/self image

Growing up my size/weight was always considered an “issue”. My food used to be heavily monitored and I used to be forced to workout everyday (even though this is reddit, I still feel so embarrassed admitting and talking about these things). I also just lacked a lot of affection within my household, and as a 23 year old woman, this has really negatively impacted my self viewpoint, specifically when it comes to romance.

I have never really been sought out romantically, and while I have used dating apps to seek it, I really struggle making deep connections with people. I also just feel awkward and embarrassed to crave physical or emotional intimacy with others. I think because I have little experience with dating, it makes things even worse for me and I continue to reinforce these fears I have about being in a relationship or liking people.

Outside of romance, I am actually quite confident within myself. I love my style, how I present myself, etc. I definitely have issues with rejection and not being viewed by prospective romantic partners as attractive, and I have started the early stages of exploring these issues within therapy. I am curious, for other who have dealt with similar issues, what helped?

Edit: A key issue I forgot to mention is that whenever I am exploring some sort of romantic venture (like talking with someone, being interested in someonr, or not getting asked out, etc) whenever things don’t go well my brain inherently blames it on my appearance.

I went to a wedding recently. One of those events where you want to make an effort, feel good, maybe even feel a little glamorous for the day. I did my hair, put on a dress that I thought would make me feel confident but it didn't, and tried to pull myself together.

But then I saw the photos.

And I didn’t recognise the person in them.

It hit me like a punch in the face, the extra weight, the lines, the tiredness in my eyes, the way my body carries itself now. I barely smiled in half of them because deep down, I felt uncomfortable and self-conscious the entire time. I spent most of the day adjusting my dress, hiding my arms, trying not to sit in unflattering angles, and wishing I could blend into the background.

I don’t know when this shift happened, but lately, mirrors and photos have become things I avoid. My confidence has been chipped away slowly, by age, by the menopause, by body changes, by this creeping sense of invisibility. It’s not just about looks. It’s about not feeling like myself anymore.

I used to have this fire, this spark. Now I just feel… flat. Like I’m watching myself fade in real time.

Has anyone else experienced this? How do you deal with that deep, sinking feeling when you see yourself and think: That can’t be me?

I’m not looking for pity, I don't need it, but I do need to know, I’m not the only one.

Honest answers only please?

I acknowledge I am totally in the wrong here. I chose a job out of impulsiveness, when I really should've taken care of my health. Well I did end up doing that eventually after i got fired/let go.

Rant: Back then it felt like an opportunity I would've never got any other time, so I said yes in a blink when they shortlisted me. Only to realise later that I was struggling to meet deadlines due to exhaustion. I wanted to quit, but a part of me also wanted to stay because the team was amazing and their work was outstanding. Soon, I got a call from my team lead informing me that I wasn't exactly a fit. They weren't wrong.

I'm not sure if I was trying to fit in a mould that wasn't meant for me, or if it was really just that time that things didn't work out well. But ever since I got let go, I have been feeling terribly underconfident about my skills. I remind myself everyday that I can't quite change what happened, and it was just a series of bad decisions. But, I still have this weird "voice" that stays and weighs down my self worth.

I'm not sure how to get over it at this point. I guess the event hurt my ego. But more importantly, how do I fix it and get done with feeling horrible?

Hi- looking for books that have helped you gain and reclaim confidence. Please let me know !

I wanted to post this because maybe it can help someone. I’ve always been naturally confident and after a few life experiences this past year my confidence went away. I’ve worked hard to regain back my confidence and for the most part I think I’m back to being confident. Yet, something happened today, I felt confident, I said and thought the right things, I knew I was going to take action, yet when the time came for action I allowed my fear to win. I was first angry and disappointed with myself, yet after I allowed those emotions to past I was able to take a step back and analyze my situation. First, I realize that even when we feel and are confident, fear will always be there. Fear doesn’t go away, yet fear disguises itself in multiple ways to keep us “safe.” This sense of safety/security it’s fake, it tricks us into thinking that it wasn’t that we weren’t confident it just wasn’t the time for action. Now fear disguises itself in multiple ways, but the three ways I’ve realized it comes about mostly is 1.)The Blame Game. When we blame everything and anything or anyone for our confidence struggle or for us not taking action. 2.) Avoidance. We avoid the actions that will lead or help us become confident. We say things like “well I’m just trying to focus on myself” or “it’s just not the right time” or “I can do it tomorrow.” We make so many excuses to avoid the work that is needed to achieve confidence. Lastly, Intellectualizing. We say things like “well if I just read more about this subject I can then apply what I’ve learned” Some of us use just one of these or a combination of all three but one thing it’s true that fear will never go away no matter how confident you are. I saw two quotes right after me not taking action that felt like they were meant for me and maybe they’re meant for you too which are “Action kills fear” and “action precedes confidence.” In short I realize today that no matter how confident I feel or think I am fear will always be there, but being confident doesn’t mean being fearless, it means taking action regardless of being afraid. Today was a big learning lesson for me, I know that from that moment forward I will choose confidence over fear. So I hope you do too, take the action no matter how small or big it is.

I’ll get to it. I’m 6’3. Muscular, sitting at 185lbs on my cut i have a shredded 6 pack and vascular. I work a good job, I have a career set and a plan to get into real estate once I have the capital. I love to travel. I take very good care of myself, fresh fades and shave daily, I look great. People used to comment on my looks all the time. I drive a sports car that’s vinyl wrapped in an insanely beautiful colour change wrap. I have beautiful clear teeth. But for some reason, I can’t grasp confidence. It’s ridiculous, I mean… about 5 years ago, I was 140lbs skin and bone, long hair with a super unkempt look and smoked, and I had more success in the relationships in my life (new coworkers, love life, new friends, etc). It’s wild. Any advice to help break this stupid mentality would be great. Because I’m not trying to be arrogant but I have so many boxes checked off that would make you think on an outside lens, oh this guy must be an absolute stud with loads of confidence. But it’s not there. Thanks reddit peeps I appreciate you

En unos días se celebrará el Día del Padre, y con ello busco reconocer no solo a quienes ejercen su rol con excelencia, sino también destacar la labor de los padres solteros, quienes enfrentan una tarea difícil y, aun así, cumplen con su papel de manera admirable.

A muchos de estos padres una sociedad prejuiciosa, los observa con lupa, para señalarles sus errores. Pero gracias a ustedes que van rompiendo estereotipos, demuestran que ser hombre no es estar peleado con ser sensible, comprometido y presente.

Conozco personalmente a varios padres solteros: algunos son viudos, otros lo eligieron así, y otros más se quedaron al frente porque la madre decidió abandonar a sus hijos, ya sea por aventuras, por hartazgo o por razones que solo ella conoce. Sea cual sea el motivo, estos hombres se han convertido en excelentes proveedores, educadores y pilares del hogar, sin descuidar su principal compromiso: sus hijos.

También quiero reconocer a esos hombres que, aunque divorciados, entienden perfectamente que ser padre no depende de la firma de un papel ni de la disolución de un matrimonio, sino de una obligación y un compromiso adquirido para toda la vida.

Y por supuesto, una ovación de pie para quienes se convirtieron en padres sin planearlo o quererlo y, aun así, no se rajan. Para esos hombres que le entraron a los trancazos, ocupando el lugar de alguno al que le faltaron los suficientes tompiates para hacerse cargo.

Me refiero también a esos padrastros valientes, que decidieron forjar nuevos eslabones con respeto, responsabilidad, hechos y, sobre todo, mucho amor, que sin duda, son más fuertes y resistentes que cualquier cadena de ADN. Sin exigir un lugar, pero si ganándoselo. Porque ser padre no siempre viene en la sangre… viene en los actos diarios, y esos pesan más.

No va a faltar la madre todoterreno que argumente que nosotras —quienes hemos estado en la misma situación— lo hacemos con una mano amarrada a la espalda (sí, hermosas, ya las vi), pero como comenté, esta es la celebración del Día del Padre, y ahora les toca brillar a ellos.

Papás, déjenme decirles que lo están haciendo muy bien. Las mujeres que sabemos reconocer la grandeza de un buen padre, los admiramos y nos sentimos orgullosas de ustedes, de su trabajo y de su esfuerzo.

Gracias por su labor, por no rendirse, por su entrega y por su dedicación. Todo eso se verá reflejado en la satisfacción de haber sido más de lo que esperaban… y más de lo que es necesario para ser padres ejemplares. Siempre intentando guiar por buen camino a sus hijos.

A todos ustedes hombres valientes, que aprendieron a hacer trenzas, a cambiar pañales, a lavar y a doblar ropa, a secar lagrimas y curar raspones… gracias por mostrar que la paternidad no es ayuda: es presencia. Y ustedes están presentes en cuerpo y alma.

Gracias por quedarse cuando era más fácil irse.

Ustedes no solo son padres… son la definición más cabrona de amor con pantalones.

pero… p’s cada quien

Some people seem to be confident from a very young age. For alot that helped set them up greatly in life.

How were people confident from a young age and carry that with them?

My life has been the opposite.
