My dad was an avoidant ass parent so ive always fallen back towards my mother for emotional support. for basically my whole life.
Ive never had a true masculine figure/role model.
The end result is im soft asf and i hate it. what do i do.

Give us an example
Might have to get your ass beat once. Maybe join a boxing club. It should light a fire in you.
not masculine
These are all pretty loose terms, everyone has a different definition of soft/masculine
Elaborate on your goals
Join a fighting club and get your ass beat
Gotta start from the bottom to learn what you’re made of and build up your confidence from there

This. start lifting if you already haven't. Find healthy role models whether they be people you personally speak to in your personal life or not and try to mimic traits about them that you deem respectable and masculine
Fake it till you make it brother
Everybody is talking about physical fighting, and I disagree. The toughest people I know aren't fighters in that way. It takes strength to not let someone control your emotions and actions. I would suggest that you do something like a working holiday visa. Being in another country on your own should give you confidence. You've got nothing but yourself to rely on, and you've gotta make everything happen if you want it.
