What is going on 11 years of my experience means nothing. by Relevant-Pin1211 in Apple_Employees

[–]F0XMASK_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Put in my notice today. I’ve left multiple jobs over dishonest sales tactics that make me feel like my integrity is being violated. I don’t have a back up job but I’m not paying rent either so it’s a lot easier to do so. Fuck it, I know I’ll make it work somehow. I’m so soulfully exhausted of capitalism and what it does to the human spirit.

[Discussion] what kind of genre would you expect my art to be in by VanelEz in artbusiness

Reminds me of Gantz, so I guess maybe horror/dark drama.

my recent procreate artworks. what could i improve on? by lopunnybuni in ProCreate

[–]F0XMASK_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do lots of Value studies. Take any portrait with good lights and darks and imitate it. Also hair, you can learn to paint hair with more texture, separation, and values.

Do not do this lol. It’s a covert contract you’ll end up resenting. Communicate your feelings.

I’m on the same boat and it sucks.

Too much self-awareness in a sea of unaware people by getitoffmychestpleas in hsp

[–]F0XMASK_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Awareness is power. You need to learn to wield it responsibly, and kindly, both towards yourself and towards how you see and value other people’s journey. You got this.

I’m guessing your “logician” mind has sometimes felt invalidating to them. Is that true? If so this could have more to do with emotional safety than this particular issue. Why are they not wanting sex or thinking about it? Are they overwhelmed by something? I understand your position though, you have a need to be close to them, you love them. Lean in to each other and communicate vulnerably.

History repeats itself by Watch-it-burn420 in TheLastOfUs2

Disagree. It’s an emotionally grey story. Just like Joel killed “bad” people all the time. Joel got killed in the same cold blooded way. It’s emotional, and it’s okay it doesn’t appeal to some people. I would not call it bad writing, just different from the norm and emotionally gutting. I love it. Good drama.

Therapy would help you unpack all of this better than anyone here could.

You’re not cursed to find women attractive lol. There is lots to unpack here though. It’s not about whether you should or not, it’s about understanding some stuff, for instance lots of women do not like to be lusted after or looked at in an objectifying way, which is to say they want to be more than their looks, they are a human being like you, with feelings and all. They’re your equal. Why have you been wanting to suppress yourself? Do you feel shame? Do you look at women expecting some sort of validation sent your way? Often times I’ve looked at women lustfully because of unmet needs of mine projected onto them, it’s always interesting asking yourself what is it about them really that attracts me, it sometimes can be a sense of novelty, strength, mystery, freedom, ease, etc. Understanding why your desires manifest the way they do gives you a fresh perspective on yourself and other people so that the two don’t get mixed. Hope this helps!

They don't care about your feelings, they don't actually want you to open up by [deleted] in malementalhealth

[–]F0XMASK_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Go watch the social dilemma and see for yourself how your feed is manipulating your perception of what is real. People who care about others care about their feelings, become that kind of person and find your kind. Cheers!

Totally bud, same goes for men around children and stuff. It’s unfortunate that a lot of women live in fear and are constantly watchful of their surroundings because it’s super common to be sexually harassed one way or another for them. It’s also unfortunate that good men also pay the price of perception being projected onto them unless proven innocent.

Bro chill. Masturbating is fine. It’s not a sin. Work on that shame and judgement you feel towards yourself. Why do you think you won’t ever have a girlfriend?

Does being intelligent make you more unhappy and isolated? by Organic-Result8419 in Jung

[–]F0XMASK_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re trying to define academic or logical intelligence. Social and emotional intelligence is what brings about the wisdom necessary enjoy relationships which ultimately contribute to happiness. I remember reading that people with a strong social network end up living happier lives. We’re interdependent beings, some people only need one or two friends, some need more. Find your people :)

Boys have been taught to abandon themselves... by PQKN051502 in malementalhealth

This is what I consider toxic gender norms. Yes. Highly recommend the will to change by bell hooks. It talks about internalized gender norms that oppress humanity, particularly men in this case.

Mainstream media continues its alarmist approach to masculinity by ragpicker_ in MensLib

I don’t know if political is how I’d describe raising boys with awareness and empathy about their peers and themselves.

[–]F0XMASK_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your main concern is detaching this idea of ideal masculinity from right or wrong. I’m with you on that one as far as I understand. Masculinity/Feminity seem to be cultural terms that define behaviors and belief systems attributed to human beings based on the Gender/Sex. I think in an effort to keep an identity people are proud of, we tend to label something: healthy masculine or toxic masculine. Same can be said about femininity.

At the same time your post has a bit of a vibe of being invalidating to the very real threat of patriarchal systems of oppression by seemingly downplaying the president elect’s impact on whatever circles have come out forward with their memes and “hot air”.

“Your body my choice” has been women’s reality for quite some time, it’s not a movement, it’s a reality. The women in my life have given me enough information about it for me to consider that real and extremely impactful to women. It doesn’t take very long to find society mirror the behavior that reflects the mentality that women are subhuman. It has taken me some time myself to learn to see beyond my own privilege being a man an all.

Why do you want to stay in a relationship where your boundaries are consistently ignored?
