Actually can relate with the guy, I had many potential friends that kept their distance from me because of my toxic masculinity. I was hiding my feelings and amotions behind tons of drugs and eventually I've got in big trouble for it. Now I'm doing great after learning how to be more open to people, but most importantly how to emphasize with people who are less privileged than me.

@@PatchOfMoss Rebelling against society is part of human nature that is becoming historically ridiculous when you living in a western society and you have everything all the people before you were dreaming off.

@ryateo1 4 года назад

Stand on your word, reject apathy, act in the face of fear. That's all masculinity is. Being macho and being masculine are too often mischaracterized. Masculine is confident, matcho is arrogant. Masculine is respectful, macho, .... isn't. Masculine boys hold the door for their mom. Macho boys throw it open for themselves. Masculine gives his coat to his significant other when it's cold and wet. Macho went out looking to good for that. lol😁. I went to basic training in the 90's with three dudes just like this guy. There's still some of my best friends! Lol
