Idk if u want advice from a woman but here goes...
1. Learn to love your insecurities and you will see how people will like you more as a person. Trust me, I met a lot of insecure people and the difficult ones were the ones who are bitter about them.
2. Focus on building a single meaningful relationship rather than a lot of meaningless ones. This applies everywhere. Trying to fit in or impress people just to have a lot of friends and lovers never gets you anywhere. Just be yourself
3. Stay away from social media. Trust me, they are toxic and nowadays just used as a tool to bully others, seek attention and political propaganda.
4. Don't be nice. Be kind. Never let people feel comfortable disrespecting you, even if they are family. You come before everything else. Be kind for your own good because it's very freeing. Nice people can either be manipulative or be manipulated. Be an asshole if it comes to your own good and safety.
5. NEVER, and I mean NEVER choose a career or school field based on your parents wish or approval. I am sure they will be proud if you are successful and happy while doing what you do. People who are unhappy with one major life choice tend to ruin their own lives.
