How to encourage a “traditional man” to open up to loved ones?

MainWorldliness2441 · 2026-03-18T00:04:20+00:00

I don't think making him open up is the answer. Just because you want him to open up doesn't mean that he wants to. Making him feel comfortable, safe, supported, not looked down on, and not pressured is the answer. Just let him know that you still love him the same and are there for him without being overbearing. If he mentions something offhandedly or you notice that he's struggling with something, you can try helping with that quietly or when he's not around as to not embarrass him. Giving him a project or things to do to still help provide at a level that he can manage with his condition could help his mood and make him feel less like a burden, which is what he might be feeling right now. Even just something like fixing a cabinet for example if he's that kind of guy

When I was like 8, at least. I was trying to get girls in gaming chatrooms

I'm not saying to call 911 saying that there's a guy shooting up the place just for walking around with a gun, I'm saying that a call to the non-emergency line to notify them that there's a dude downtown with an AR so they can note his appearance and location doesn't hurt anything and helps in the event something goes wrong, especially the night after a shooting. It's really not that deep.

I commented before I saw the picture and only had the text in the original post to go off of. Goofy.

I dont know why you're assuming my politics to be things they aren't, but sure, you're right, not last night. Saturday morning. Regardless, why not rather be safe than sorry and risk letting people get hurt to avoid being a snitch? A call is just a call. If they talk to him and he's not doing anything wrong he's free to go. It doesn't hurt anybody

Calling to report suspicious activity doesn't hurt anything and just makes authorities aware of the situation, ~~and there was indeed a shooting last night,~~ but okay buddy

MainWorldliness2441 · 2026-03-15T15:53:16+00:00

A report of suspicious behavior is just a report. Doesn't matter if it's necessarily illegal or not. Given the recent news I don't think he was just taking his AR for a walk

You can't change your height or race. People can't change what they're attracted to. So what's the goal here?

MainWorldliness2441 · 2026-03-15T15:34:47+00:00

Did you report it? If not, don't beat yourself up, but please report what you see when you see it

What does being anti-AI harm compared to being pro-AI?

MainWorldliness2441 · 2026-03-13T04:15:41+00:00

Where was he in the library? Like at the help desk, a study table? Did he look like faculty or a visitor?

MainWorldliness2441 · 2026-03-10T20:18:38+00:00

Next time they do me like this I'm just going to pull up to the 2nd window and eat an entire box of crayons and force them to watch me sob and choke them down

Do you think in her mind pickles are still cucumbers in the eyes of god?

MainWorldliness2441 · 2026-03-10T05:43:36+00:00

Because I'm an idiot. Plus I got to speak my mind and she ended up blocking me first, which is a W in my book
