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%.

On the fulfilling community aspect, I found that at my Unitarian Universalist (UU) church. UU’s don’t believe in a shared religious text, instead they have a core set of shared values. My church has people who identify as atheist, Christian, several types of pagan, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, etc. We celebrate religious holidays from all of them as well as secular holidays like Trans Day of Visibility and Earth day. The focus is on being together and trying to make the world a better place. I also really like the music program. There’s a handy website to find a congregation near you, many stream services on Zoom so you can test them out before going in person.
