Men who feel like fully functional people, how did you get there? - Lemmy.World

For masculine identifying folks, what were the things you did (or had happen to you) that you feel helped you transition into adulthood and find fulfilling community? Statistics [https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2024/10/17/how-americans-see-men-and-masculinity/] suggest [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-state-of-our-unions/202302/why-are-so-many-young-men-single-and-sexless] that a large number of men feel isolated, unvalued by society, and dysfunctional, but it’s not 100%.

Therapy

I’d like to add: therapy with a therapist that gets you. It’s ok (I dare say normal) to swap therapists a few times.

You’re not obligated to listen to a stoic when you are trying to process some trauma.
