    I understand what you mean. I used to be the same way but I made an effort to try and open up more and slowly over time it became easier. It is exactly that - a learned skill that takes practice. I don’t believe it’s too late for you or for anyone, for that matter. It’s just a matter of practice over time.

    But I VERY much respect your desire to help others nonetheless. That’s exactly what I feel too. We’re lucky to have you here in this community, thank you for being here!

        You can vent, you can do whatever here, this space is for you, man. I agree - I wanted this to be a counterpoint to the shitty ass sexist Peterson type bullshit and hoped to have a better space for young men to find a community. Please, if you have any ideas on how better to make that happen, this is my first time doing this kinda thing, feel free to let me know, or to make posts of your own. We’re not all doom and gloom here, we’re also advice and general tips on surviving as a guy in this world, so if you have words of wisdom or other things that might be useful to men old or young please feel free to share!
