Men need friends, not bros.
i need both 😓
testosterone is the world's most dangerous chemical.
Why?
I am struggling to deal with j suicidal thoughts about how awful i must be because I am a man. Like I sometimes think there needs to be a brutal cleansing.
You don't owe anyone anything. You did not choose to be born, you were thrust into existence and it is unfair to you to feel like you ought to "get out of everyone's way" via suicide. The world put you here, not you. Even if you earnestly think you are awful because you are a man.
Further you almost certainly aren't awful, because you feel empathy for the rest of the world because you want to avoid being a burden to them. Awful people don't give a shit if they hurt other people or the world.
A side note, if you really think because you are a man specifically that you are awful: You might unironically just want to transition into a woman.
That's not on testosterone. At most it plays a part in it, but this behavior is the result of a patriarchal society. (Solely) blaming testosterone defends shitheels like this one, and diminishes people with testosterone-dominated bodies that are different
offer free therapy from people passionate about helping others, instead of charging them an arm and a leg for an hour of one persons narrow minded view of the world. i think more people would get therapy if that were the case.
until then, its okay to get it if you can afford it, or rely on friends, and family when you need to.
however on a personal note, nothing in my life has removed the burden of existence and replaced it with univeral connection, joy, and love for others and all living things like magic mushrooms have.
and on another personal note, therapy cannot change the external world, just how you choose to react to it. and especially these days, introspection and pills cannot save you from fascism, climate change, WW3, and poverty. among other things. it may just change your perspective on it.
throwing therapy into someones face as the only answer is a small minded view of reality. its not the answer for everyone. but it does have value in certain specific situations, for certain, specific people.
meh, I just need my cat.

To be fair, it's a lot easier to get what you need from a hooker than a psychologist.
Every sex worker I've had knew how to do their job, I can't say the same about the quacks.
Trauma therapy helped me a lot, speak for yourself. CBT is still over applied in my opinion, though, when other therapies are appropriate.
CBT is often used to get you to gaslight yourself, which is more effective than getting others to do it for you.
Kinda snarky, kinda serious on this comment
Look at the user name, it's a truthful joke.
Men need a loving relationship and therapy.
