【Two-screen Pop Filters】 The first screen blocks air blasts as any pop filter normally would; The gap in between then disperses any remaining air pressure, so by the time it passes the second screen, the blast is easily contained.Efficiently reduce the plosive, wind interference, saliva spraying...
Oh god, where do I start!? That is such a loaded question, lol. I mean, it's hard to answer cause everyone's station is a little different.
I guess the most important thing is to invest in Love. For your fellow man and yourself. All people have a need to express their appreciation for others, but most men never do it until they are dating someone. That's not right. You should be open with your friends (the family you chose). If I die right now, it would break my friends hearts and I know it will...because they told me so. I told them I love them too. Drunk, lol, but I told them. Spend nights drinking with good friends, and often. Especially in your early 20's when you still can. Don't look for girls on these nights. Just have fun. Talk about stupid ideas. Curse. Get lost. Eat at a place you'd never been to. Throw rocks in a lake and talk about anything.
Remember this: men bond shoulder to shoulder. That means we make friends when we DO things. You gotta go out with your buddies. Paintball, drinking, festivals, parties, hell fight club idk. But go out with them.
With that said, never let a women tell you what it means to be a man. They don't know. They never will. And neither will we know what it's like to be a women, so we should also not tell them how to act/feel. But your masculinity is very real, and it matters. Pruning\e through the toxic shit requires some real deep digging. But it's worth it.
Listen to dad more. And grandpa (especially). And the guy who is a few years older than you who is where you want to be. Advice is flattering to a lot of men; don't be afraid to ask for it. If they're bad role models, then you'll know what not to do.
I also suggest this book.
Reading this book helped me a lot. He breaks down the thought process very well and also mentions how to change it.
The good thing is that this will help you with non-romantic relationships as well. Learning to say no can be very painful at first, but you'll get better at it. There will be backlash from your friends, but stay strong and they will start accepting the new and improved you.
I randomly picked up some self improvement books from the library the other day, and one is titled Too Fast to Think by Chris Lewis. It's more about creativity and finding balance between the left and right sides of the brain (the brain and the left/right theory are discussed at length).
I tend to be highly analytical as well, and at some points it's just downright tiring.
I'll come by later and give you my opinion.
As an extra resource, may I suggest "Sparks of Genius" ?
I've never found another academic-scholarly resource that brought creativity down from the "Godly Geniuses," like Einstein, DaVinci, etc. to a "normal" person. Check it out, if you're able to.
