Most of my friends know about her . She lived to be 82 unfortunately passed away due to complications of diabetes. I guess we could describe our relationship as the same one woody allen had with his mom. She could be overbearing at times. But compared to some other mothers that I knew growing up I know I had it pretty good. When you see TV shows like the sopranos most of the problems are rooted with the characters mothers. If I hadn't discovered this website when I did I would have still been simping over girls who would lead me on like a puppy.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
So it's been a year since my mom passed

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

If I were to blame a parent, I would blame my dad. I love my dad but he lived in a different era and didn't instill the kind of values I wish I had at a young age.
Notably I was bullied during my early school years and my dad always advocated for going through the system; teachers, principals, etc, which never solved my problem. Meanwhile my mom was the one that suggested I fight so I wouldn't have the problem in the future.
When it comes to blaming one's mother...I mean, that just goes back to not asking a deer how to hunt deer, but ask a hunter.
