Nathan Newby set to receive George Medal for stopping a potential atrocity with an act of kindness
A hospital patient who managed to talk a man out of detonating a bomb in a maternity wing said the would-be attacker “asked for a cuddle” before standing down.
It’s fucking real. People, and not just men, but people in general, need more attention. It doesn’t have to be physical, not everyone wants that, but just a simple, genuine, “Hi, how ya’ doin’?”
No. I want an actual cuddle, or I missalign all the floor tiles.
You have 48 hours to reply.
I appreciate the sentiment, but from my learning it seems more likely we just need to start teaching men how to live a life of solitude, no one really wants us around.
Then your learning is teaching you bullshit designed to isolate you and push you yet further into the toxic masculinity circlefuck.
It’s true that no-one likes a misogynistic, self-entitled prick though. If you were actually suggesting that you’re upset that that shit is largely seen for the pathetic attempt to hide one’s inadequacies and insecurities that it is, you won’t find as much sympathy for that as you hoped.
Wow, that was a lot of assumption in a small package.
I cant directly refute that admittedly because thats something thats more confirmed or denied through direct experiance. That being said, my direct experiance through my entire life would seem to refute your point.
Thats much easier to refute.Unless you are stating someone designed my life(which there is an argument to be made, thats why i hate capitalism) then no one designed my education. School had 2 classes in my entire education that actually taught me new information, other than that I am entirely self taught. The differance is that I seek out all information at all times, even information that conflicts with my beliefs. Devils advocates are important because they point out falicies, but I will admit i dont appreciate people genuinely holding atrocious views.
True
Well, im not entirely sure what “that” is but its safe to assume “that”'s not the case. Im… not really going to waste much time really paraing out what you mean here since its clear there has been a misunderstanding.
The few friends that I do have are effectively siblings. They quite literally have the keys to my house and free reign to everything I own. I would open up to them about anything, and they are the exact same way with me. I am completely open to sharing things with strangers, and I am open to having strnagers open up to me. Im not super great at comforting people unfotunately, but I am a great listener and from what I can tell a rare few enjoy that.
The issue is that that has lost me an incredible amount of potential friends. Ive had friends for years, and when they have a bad moment I ask if they want to talk about it. Men think thats gay and distnace themselves from you, women think youre flirting and want to get in their pants. Everyone oreaches caring about others, but everytime I ask how people are doing they just say “im good” no matter what. When I give any indication that I actually care, they think im flirting. Thats why I dont flirt, its fucking annoying how basic empathy is seen as disgusting.
I try to come up with solutions and it seems the general response i get both online and in person is that women are just over men. Its not their problem anymore, and quite frankly thats fair. Men dont want to bond with other men, and theres this little thing called consent that prevents me from forcing my beliefs on community onto others. So… no community. No one wants my input, no one wants my problems, no one wants me around. Im not really interested in sympathy for that, this isnt me throwing a pity party. Its… fine. Its not great, its not terrible. I just need to look out for myself, do what I can, help those I can, and accept when my help simply isnt wanted. Im never going to force my beliefs on anyone, but if you attempt to take my rights or force me into servitude I will certainly defend myself. If someone wants me in their life they can make that known, but let me tell you, it would be a losing bet. The only reason this post exists isnt because of manosphere bullshit. If you think they care about you, you missed the entire point of this post. This post exists because its the hard truth. It doesnt make it easier, but it does save you a lot of misguided effort.
Edit:lmfao, guy opens up about his problems. Everyone ignores, downvotes, preaches caring, and moves on. I swear, fucking clowns, every last one of you.
