Growing up, I didn’t really have a strong father figure, and my home environment was often tense. Because of that, I think I learned to avoid conflict and let people talk to me however they wanted.

Now I’m trying to change that. I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and used to go to the gym consistently, but I’m working on being more disciplined again overall.

For men who developed strong boundaries later in life: how did you learn to become more assertive and “verbally strong”?

How do you know when to set a firm boundary versus when to let things go or talk it out?

I’m trying to understand what actually helped you build that mindset in real life.

I’m looking to get serious about learning options trading and understand it on a deeper level, not just surface explanations.

I have about 1.5 years of experience trading forex and futures, so I’m already familiar with leverage, risk management, and active trading, but options feel like a different structure in terms of pricing and behavior.

I’m trying to understand what areas I should focus on first (pricing mechanics, volatility, Greeks, strategies, etc.) and what actually matters most when developing consistency in options trading.

Where should I be looking or studying to build a solid foundation?
