>>43535489I've always gone for unevolved cutemon or special sweepers. I've always been indecisive and can't think of anything on my own, and I keep a lot of things to myself because I worry what everyone thinks all the time.
I always go for Minccino, since it's cute, perfect for Contests and seems like the archetypal shoulder mon. As stupid as this sounds, I was kind of afraid to break that mold. But one day, I decided to go a different route pick Darumaka. And it was a huge point of worry for me, because I was so sure I'd come to regret it. It was nothing like my usual picks. We didn't have similar personalities, it was all-physical, and it wasn't a cute mascot. But maybe going out of my comfort zone could be fun.
I don't know. I had so many regrets at first. But after I fought myself to stick with it, I got used to it. And then I felt a little stronger. It's super dumb, but I wanted to force myself to match with Darmanitan: strong-willed, aggressive, fiery. And that really helped me be more confident.
I'm not going to chimp out or turn into a pushy asshole. I'm not going to completely change who I am. But now I've started to talk more with my family instead of being quiet, and I can voice my opinions to other people. My bro inspires me to be less of a little bitch. I'm going to be more decisive and stop second-guessing everything I do.
It's all stupid as fuck, but I'm feeling a lot better in life.
