I’ve been trying to work on emotional maturity after years of dealing with depression, trust issues, abandonment problems, and constantly feeling like people eventually leave or disappoint me. I’ve already been to therapy, and it helped me understand \*why\* I feel this way, but I still feel stuck trying to actually move forward in real life and relationships.
What I’m curious about is the unconventional or unexpected things people did that genuinely helped them grow emotionally. Not just the standard “go to therapy” advice — I mean the weird, random, difficult, or life-changing things that made something finally click for you. Thanks
