this path is a strange one

[mikaalParticipant 6]

I have been working 2 jobs and pushing myself mentally On tip of this I continue my workouts to be healthier. In all I’m exhausted and feel like s~~~, but I’m making money and building myself up. The results are confusing. My male cousins keep asking who I’m trying. They don’t understand that this is for me and me alone.

 

the hardest moment I have faced is when my own dad said “I wish I was more like you” I know he isn’t the best man in the world, but f~~~ this isn’t how its suppose to be. I guess I’m having a hard Tim understanding the worlds new perception of me. I don’t care, but its jarring.

Being focused on yourself, investing your efforts into yourself…and doing this all FOR yourself and not someone else, is strange when a man does it, because historically men have made their best efforts on behalf of someone else (usually women). No great surprise then that you are being asked, “Who are you doing this for?”.

That historical role is difficult for some men to step out of, as they rightly fear being targeted for criticism, and having few examples to follow. Your dad probably wishes he was more like you because after having sacrificed much effort on behalf of someone else, he’s found that there is neither appreciation or respect for him for having done so.

Mgtows will always draw scorn from women who believed they owned you or that you owed them all those efforts and sacrifices. Ignore them. Mgtows can be confusing and frightening to other men, but mgtows can also be the example.

Be that example. Mgtow examples are greatly needed.

Look, it's not my fault that tornado dropped a house on your sister. Now get back on your broom and get your ass out of here... and take your monkeys with you

One day you will get what you are after and then come to the conclusion it is still not enough.   A lot of these “things” you are after will pass with time.  Money is spent, strength fades.   You have to understand not only what you are after and how to get it, but also the nature of the thing you are after.  Don’t get caught up in the “invincible now”.

I think a part of growing up is acknowledging the people you use to place on a pedestal are human beings no different than you.  Having a hero is sometimes overrated and self demeaning.   You exalt one person and lower yourself.  People are people.  No use getting happy or sad over it.

I don’t have any real advice other than that.  These are just observations and experiences I had under similar circumstances.
