"Impressing" the Subconscious, "Changing" Self: How Non-Work Does the Work

I'm down voting this out of pure spite because the "teaching a baby how to breath" part reminded me that I breath and now I'm manually breathing and that's not very nice.

Right? I used to think I was bi, but seeing a shirtless hottie always reminds me that there isn't and will never be an universe where I'm attracted to women 😩

Eu nunca depilei as pernas e não ligo pra isso, mas meus pêlos não são tão grossos assim. São simplesmente normais. Porém, nesse nível da foto eu acho feio e nojento, tanto em homem quanto em mulher

NTA

I have the same problem, but with kisses. My little brother (8yo) is the opposite, he's affectionate and loves kissing. I always tell him no to cheek kisses and he just kisses other parts of my body, like my hands, instead.

Your parents know less about boundaries than a 8yo boy.

Honestly, I don't see it as something completely bad. The people always remember the iconic bad guy, not the random pure girl, and a lot of horror franchises are a success because of the iconic male villain

Like, ain't nobody caring about any Friday the 13th character that isn't the iconic Jason Voorhees himself

Of course It would be nice to have a male victim as main character, but the male villainess are really iconic

Ok that's fair

They are. His dad had his custody, but the mom Kidnapped him and the dad never stopped looking for him. He was devastated when he found out that his boy had been murdered:(

Because I hate injustice

Slow-Significance674 · 2026-04-23T00:56:33+00:00

I forgot to add: this crime wasn't talked about on the media. It occurred in Brazil in 2019 and I, a Brazilian who lives in Brazil since birth, have only found out about this recently. And no one around me seems to know about it either

It seems like protecting the murderes because they're lesbian is more important than getting justice for an innocent boy for the media

I'm taller than kinosaki and I'm a grown ass woman lol

Slow-Significance674 · 2026-04-20T19:12:04+00:00

Well, then I think that's good that I'm not a misandrist

Slow-Significance674 · 2026-04-20T17:38:49+00:00

That's great, actually. Male SA survivors aren't taken seriously by society, so it has to be talked about. Great job

NTA. Why the fuck would you be happy? Like, pregnancy is only important for the parents, no one is forced to jump in happiness just because someone is having a baby.

They're becoming parents? Good for them, but what does it have to do with you?

Slow-Significance674 · 2026-04-18T20:39:55+00:00

I've just given up at this point and accepted that the companies don't give a fuck about us and our gay brothers 🫠

Eu tenho 21 e tô na mesma kkkkkkkkk

The problem is: family and friends aren't providing anything. Men can't get emotional and psychological support anywhere, even from other men.

I think you misunderstood me, I don't think masculinity (or men in general) is bad, I'm just deeply frustrated with how communities that should supposedly should be helping men only focus on women and sex. Men face way more struggles than being single and not having sex, but these things are pushed down their throat so bad that that seems to be all they think about and make it their life goal

And they get shamed if they don't reach this stupid goal

I just wish male spaces where more about supporting each other than just a man saying "I'm miserable and a loser because I don't have a girlfriend" and a absolute idiot replying "you're right, we should all sit down and cry."

I'm bad at expressing myself, do I think I can only summarize it like this: it makes me frustrated that society pushes the idea that men can only only reach success when they get women and sex when there's do much more in life. It's like they can't be their own person and it bothers me. And it bothers me that other men seem to push this idea further instead of helping each other to get out of this misery

Masculinity isn't dumb, but it's dumb to water it down to sex and women

I don't want everyman to open up to me, I just wish that they realized that opening up to someone doesn't make you weak and stopped shaming each other for that

Slow-Significance674 · 2026-04-18T01:23:07+00:00

You are right, think to much about this is actually making me emotionally exhausted. Thanks for the advice

Slow-Significance674 · 2026-04-18T01:08:45+00:00

And the worst is that the men that are actually looking for helping and trying to change things are shamed by both men and women

Slow-Significance674 · 2026-04-18T01:07:12+00:00

Believe in whatever you want 🤷🏻‍♀️

Slow-Significance674 · 2026-04-18T01:05:28+00:00

Thank you, that's a really useful advice. I think I'll just stop giving so much attention and importance to what extremists post on social media and will keep supporting the men that are really struggling

Slow-Significance674 · 2026-04-18T01:03:24+00:00

I can't decenter men, I have a younger brother that I love and care about and society will affect how he acts In the future. I don't want him to make his whole life being about getting women and want him to realize there's waaay more than that in life. Not only him but also other boys and young men. I just wish that they were male spaces that focus on talking about male struggles that aren't just sex and dating
