There is nothing wrong with being physically weak either, but you would rather be strong tho

You’re p**** if you cry just because s*** gets hard sure once a year is ok but if you do it every time your b**** made and you can’t tell me otherwise

Doing this won’t guarantee they will stay

Nothing is guaranteed within intersexual dynamics.

gotta have a solid balance, as a man you cant be emotionally vulnerable in public in my opinion

but obviously u gotta reflect and be honest about your emotions, jus think its better to do that in private

Some of these takes are so weird idk if it’s cause you never talk to women or if women you wanna have s***with are the only other human beings you talk to

can confirm

Emotional is good
Just weak ppl take advantage from it or cant properly answer it

Bottling up is never good
Its for ur own mental health

It can push people away from you, but be true to yourself @op

Stop dating toxic girls
Stop having toxic friends

Ur not allowing yourself any breathing space and growth if u think its okay to walk the earth and needing to hide 50% of ur true self( which is important for boundaries for example) so u wouldn't feed toxic ppl ammo... Cause ur afraid ppl will use it against u...

See how bad this pattern is

People don’t appear toxic at first it usually builds up over time

Which is why you’re better off not attempting this bs in the first place.

Deadass

this is definitely false lol.

Red flags are noticeable if you choose to not ignore them.

Definitely guilty of the latter

theres always signs
Who did/do they hang with?
Are they outcasts?
Do they have a certain rep?
What do u really know about them? And what is it that first sparked their interest

One dope one i read was that all ur friends were strangers before u met them and gave them a chance, a stranger just like any other stranger out there
and just like any other stranger out there, u matter of fact kno really nothin about this person or their intent

more so often than not in my case, toxic ppl were those that preferred to stick close around u
they feed off ur energy and return u nothin else but toxicity, in ur face or back
Watch how they talk about other ppl with u.. Says alot about a person and if theyre already trash talking from the get go, best know this person gon do the exact same bout u with someone else..

but indeed the longer u hold onto them, the more and more toxic they grow, usually until u are used to their pattern, when they are succeeding
usually by the time u realize, youll notice a certain trail of breadcrumbs that lead u to this crossroads left behind u

thats when u realize, how this person was manipulating the strings all along

Lmao

You can jump out of a plane with a parachute thats not 100% guaranteed to open

Would you rather jump with a parachute or without one?

Cmon bro nothing in life is guaranteed to work out

What you’re defining isn’t emotional weakness. It’s strength. A person who has no control over their emotions rather it’s be their reactions or bottling things in under the impression it makes them weak to express it is emotionally weak

so many weird responses in this thread as usual

there's nothing wrong with being emotionally open or vulnerable, just don't let those emotions control you and guide how you behave. THAT is true weakness

and there isn't a genuine person on earth that would prefer people who arent in touch with themselves emotionally over those who are

that dude gon be crying in front of his girl while they together and she gon call him strong but watch how the script flip when they break up

Tell ur story bro

cried to my ex bout everything that had happened in the past 5+ years and she was comforting me and calling me a strong man for opening up, next second we arguing and im being called a b**** a not a real man like what??

That’s f***ed up bro. I’d never do u like that
