There is a big difference between being strong and kind vs being nice and weak.

Not exactly true. I say no with a smile. I’m nice and don’t let people take advantage of me because I know my self worth.

Strength protects, weakness pleases. Kindness never begs respect.

They don’t like you, They don’t want you is probably true. Women don’t love you. They live that you love them. Especially if you are a masculine man about his business. But! It is not that dark. You can be loved. Just make sure you love yourself. Be someone you admire.

I realized I didn’t love the women. I lived how they made me feel. I loved that someone actually noticed me. I loved the compliments. I craved it because I never received any of that growing up.

It’s young men’s parents that teach them to be “too nice”. They feed their kids the Disney movies, the fake happily ever after romance, and to be too nice to girls. Fix that and our boys will get better

Okay street shitter

Its not that cut and dry. But there is something to be said about strength and confidence. Theres a difference between being peaceful and being harmless. The problem is that many men have been immaculated by women their entire lives because of imagined toxic masculinity.

Thank you sir 🙏🏻

It’s true for women too. Took me years to acknowledge the problem, then years to heal the reason why I was this way ( ppl pleaser, afraid to stand up for myself, need external validation) and then a few more years to get comfortable setting and keeping boundaries, being able to say no without a reason. It’s amazing we feel we must give reasons to our no. We can just say no! Period. We offer too much “filler.” Initially as I was testing my voice I was aggressive with my responses. I didn’t have balance at first. ( I didn’t have a voice in childhood starting very early age 3,4. Then grew up giving all my power away—then married a very unbalanced boy/man without my voice as well) There were ppl who didn’t want me to have a voice or set boundaries or say no ( parents, friends who liked how easy going I was!) etc so that was confusing. Hence being aggressive initially. Many years later I found the balance in this -where now I can set boundaries and keep them…where I can say no… be firm, but kind. Not lose myself. Or my peace. It’s not always perfect but life is one huge lesson. Maybe everyone suffers this? Maybe it shows up differently for women than men. But however it shows up it needs to be healed. Relationally my life now is so much better -and this is true for owning a business as well. The customer isn’t always right but u don’t have to lose a client while taking care of urself. It’s all in a healthy approach. Now I am true to myself. If I get blind sided and am not prepared for a response I take a breath, excuse myself to think it through, or say “I’ll get back to you” instead of react with something I’ll later regret saying. Or not saying. This change has been one of my biggest gifts. Growth is not for the faint of heart that’s for sure.

I feel bad for him, I feel bad for the boy, but there is a big difference between being nice and not having a spine.
