If you feel pressure to be different, it's nobody else's fault, it means you're insecure. You can't tell other people how to act - isn't that the whole point in the first place? You can only control how you respond to how other people act. Get some self confidence and security and stop giving a damn about other peope's thoughts.
There's a lot of pressures with being more manly and it's like blasphemy if you aren't some super masculine male. If you don't walk, talk, and do things in which society says you'll be ridiculed for it. I don't believe that the image that society has made a man to be is even what men these days are.
Absolutely. There's things that men are supposed/expected to do and if you don't do them people will ridicule you or tell you to be more "manly". Gender roles are awful tbh, my parents are constantly telling me to do these types of things
Yes it's annoying. My dad says things like men don't take selfies, I'm like and if they do? Anyways, I'm gay so I feel exempt from these pressures since I'm already doing the most emasculating thing by being with another man.
My parents used to be up my ass saying. "Boys don't do this, boys don't do that." Like shut the **** up! Men don't have to all do the same thing and act the same way.
