This is an overcorrection on my part but I don't even wanna try befriending young men anymore. I tend to assume there's a high chance they'll talk about some cynical incel/hustle grindset nonsense instead of just sharing their interests and feelings like a human.


The discrepancy between their beliefs and the beliefs of the women in my life is really difficult sometimes. I want to be patient and nonjudgmental but it's really hard for me to understand. Even though I used to be kinda like them too.
