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%.

Might be a controversial take but it’s my experience: psychedelics. Dramatically improved my self and general awareness and the rest is history.

The trick is recognising them as tools to be used and put down once no longer needed.
