Stereotypical cis male moment, but I need to talk about feelings more. I've come long strides and can talk to my partner about things, but she called me out about not checking in with my male friends about their stuff going on. This also applies to my relationship, considering her needs more intuitively.

It's hard because outside of just the general de-patriarching my brain, I feel I'm kinda a self centered person. My partner instinctively thinks about others first and I have to constantly remind myself not to make selfish choices.
