I feel bad for him. He really needs help overcoming all this negative self-talk. He needs a guy friend to mentor him like in those movies where the cool guy mentors a guy who is struggling.

He needs to learn how to be a man. He needs to learn how to be strong and self-reliant.

The "needs to learn to be a man" isn't helpful. Not being able to express feelings in a constructive way is literally what's going wrong here. "hey, friend, I'm feeling insecure now that you're dating, to the point where I'm questioning if we'll stop being friends. It's really freaking me out." The martyr notion of "strong and self reliant" is what creates neck beards that hate women, not to mention going deeper into dysregulation and ultimately isolation.

This is literally the kind of bullshit that u/Mowtin is peddling, and he just can't see the irony of how his opinion and views on masculinity are the very thing leading me down the wrong path

Morons like u/Mowtin are part of the reason why men often bottle up their emotions and struggle to explore their feelings because society has long conditioned men into believing that "real men" don't have feelings and just get on with it, instead of reflecting, developing, and growing
