That's what happens when we live in patriarchy, comrade. Although obviously women and other genders have it worse, men get the most insidious scares placed in us, preemptively interfering in our relationships to recreate patriarchy through us. At least now that you have noticed it you can work on it, overcome it, and try to stop it from happening to others.
I stopped doing so much shit I enjoyed because of passing comments and minor ridicule from peers and adults and for the longest time I thought it was because I was weak or easily influenced. Now I realized I was just 5 years old and having a weak ego is part of being 5. Patriarchy will literally bully children and then convince them to blame themselves for it
