🐦‍🔥🔥🐣 I am like a phoenix that always rises from its own ashes.

I had lost 14 kg in body weight in about a year due to the emotional stress I was experiencing. I gained it back in less than a month.

I had communicated quite openly that I was going through a difficult time. As a man, however, you don't need to hope for any kind of emotional support.

That's also a good thing: You can't get comfortable in the role of victim.

On the one hand, it is claimed and expected that men should open up emotionally and learn to talk about difficulties. At the same time, it is proven time and again that as soon as men do this, they are ignored and dismissed as weak.

What a spectacle! 😉

One reason why many men plunge into self-destruction (alcohol, drugs, etc.) or use violence to "take control". I didn't do that. I dealt with it artistically, I informed myself, communicated and sought exchange. And then I made decisions and rebuilt myself.

I have proven that I am strong. But I have also proven what is unhealthy! Namely the "social" way we interact with one another.

One day I openly expressed my frustration in the stories because the behavior here hurt me. I even apologized for the reaction our toxic dynamic caused in me. Many people thought that was great.

It is interesting that an apology for an understandable reaction - without wanting to justify it - was met with so much approval, but almost nobody was interested in the causes. 😉

By doing so, people are signaling that they only want to see positive things from me, that vulnerability only applies if it affects them personally or promises some benefit. That the social idea in social networks has nothing to do with social responsibility and exchange, but actually only serves as a means of self-presentation and entertainment.

As soon as I present myself as strong here in a superficial way and visibly high interaction rates give people an indication of what they can and cannot like, everyone runs after me like drooling chickens.

Anyone who has even a basic understanding of who I am will also understand that this won't work with me.
