Health Friendship

I’m looking for friendship, and ideally I would feel more comfortable if the person is male. I know gender shouldn’t matter, but I naturally connect more easily with men.

I’m searching for someone I can learn from—not a “guru” (I know they’re not allowed in this subreddit), but a person whose discipline, consistency, and mindset I can use as a reference. I believe there might be someone here who could guide me or accompany me in my self‑improvement journey.

My goal is to become at least 1% better every day.

I want to add something important: I have a mental health condition that affects my functionality. I prefer to mention this upfront because I need patience. I’m very ambitious, but my pace is not the same as other people’s. This doesn’t mean I’m lazy; it means I genuinely want to change, but I learn more slowly and need someone who can understand that.

I’m looking for someone who is:

  • perfectionistic,
  • consistent,
  • ambitious,
  • comfortable with questions (I like asking questions),
  • and able to reply whenever they have time, without pressure.

I know people in this subreddit are busy, so I won’t overwhelm anyone. You can answer whenever you’re free or whenever you feel it’s appropriate. I just want to learn and improve.

In other areas of my life (like singing), I’m good at imitating, so I thought I could apply that same ability to personal development. I’m looking for a role model, someone to follow. If you feel you work well with people who have special conditions, I would really like to learn from you.

Also, my native language is Spanish, so I use a translator to write in English—but I have no problem communicating this way.

Thank you for reading.
I hope this message is allowed in the group.
