I am definitely a man. (I recheck every morning when I go to the bathroom; all good, no change.) It’s just that I have never felt like I fitted into the expected social norm for a man in [their] advertised world.

Have no interest in mechanical oily stuff, don’t care about sports, don’t like beer, don’t go on conquests of women, don’t wear a watch and certainly have no desire for an expensive branded one, would rather not own a car if I could get away with it, haven’t found any desire to barbeque meat outdoors, don’t collect or obsess over anything, don’t participate in the corporate world or jockey for position, am a member of no clubs or societies.

In retrospect it has been helpful training in not caring what other people think about me. The more a “successful male lifestyle” was pushed at me the greater my alienation from it, and the less it mattered to be seen to participate. Parted ways, and happy to be an eccentric fringe weird man (authentically).

When I read you, its like you take the thoughts direct from my mind, then write them. Cant explain as I'm not so great with words.
You're my favorite person to follow here. 100%

Looking forward to the day we heal our wounds and live in Peace,Love and Unity as we were meant to.

I feel that all this is what a normal, healthy minded man would be before the 'training' that kids get at school through peer pressure to 'fit in.'

My now 29 year old home-schooled son is just like this. He's coming around now, finally not think there is something wrong with him but with everyone else. He does still have some struggles though.

I'm proud. He's beautiful. You are beautiful.

Blessings Sir! 💝🙏🥛

Questioning everything led to my progressive awakening. Still learning daily. A new me, The Real Me is emerging. Strange, but I like her.

This is probably why you are a master of your craft.
