Was thinking about this last night. I have friends who I really don’t know anything about on an emotional level because I’ve drilled into my head it’s a conversation meant to be shared in therapy. But there’s also a part of me that sees the value in getting to know people as humans and not just their 9-5 selves. I have fem-presenting friends who seem to be more open to these types of conversations, but I genuinely want to find the line between sharing and over sharing. As a man, It’s pretty depressing to think about tbh, knowing other men for decades but not really knowing anything about them besides their favorite teams or beer.
Is this a thing that’s exclusive to males? Also, if you have any good literature recommendations for this topic please drop below 😅
Awww man so you’re saying I have to make myself vulnerable
I appreciate the advice, I actually think vulnerability being seen as “weak” trait is part of the problem here
Not totally or completely, but, if there's something small that is bothering you and it seems like it wouldn't be too odd to suddenly start a conversation about it with some other people... yeah, go for it.
