Understanding and accepting one’s personal truths, even if they challenge traditional notions of masculinity, is essential for personal growth and overall well-being. Embracing these truths empowers individuals to forge stronger connections, experience greater happiness, and navigate life’s intricacies with heightened confidence and ease.

Flirting Isn’t Always Genuine

One person said, “She’s paid to be nice and friendly.”

To which a second responded, “Never fall in love with your waitress, your stripper, or bartender!”

You Need to Exercise

A user said, “You need to exercise!”

Another user responded by saying, “This is so important. Once I got to college, I wasn’t on any teams, and my exercising gradually disappeared. I’m now 41, and in the time between have struggled with a lot of mental health issues and general stress due to my job and life in general. Regular excise has helped me immensely!”

No One NEEDS to Love You

This person said, “Nobody MUST love or care for you, so when you find someone who does, treat them well.”

Beating The Odds

“If you’re single by the time your 30, you’ve statistically avoided your first divorce.”

You Can be Right But Still Lose

A top-liked comment said, “You can be right and still lose the argument. Think about that hard; there’s more to it than what’s just said on the surface.’

You Must Save Yourself

This person shared, “Nobody’s coming to rescue you, and nobody cares what you’re going through. It’s up to YOU to make a change.”

Have A Clue

A user shared this, “All too often, people who appear super confident and right about an answer or how something is done haven’t a clue. Sometimes knowingly, sometimes unknowingly.”

Your Feelings Won’t Change

This user stated, “Some feelings don’t change with time. You don’t like your girlfriend now. You probably won’t after marriage or a long time together.”

Do the Work

This truth was shared, “You’re on your own. People will occasionally reach out, but no one will do the work for you. You have to work for it. Oftentimes, it’s hard.”

Diet and Mental Health

A user gave this advice, “Eat reasonably healthy and workout 3 times a week for at least half an hour. It keeps you in check mentally.”

Playing Victim

This person said, “It doesn’t matter if the circumstances are your fault. It’s up to you to change things. Sitting in victim mode is wasting your life. Become a survivor who perseveres.”

Fault And Responsibility Are Not The Same

A user mentioned, “Do not confuse Fault and Responsibility. They are two totally different things. Things can not be your fault, but still, your responsibility and things can be your fault but not your responsibility.”

Life Isn’t Fair

“Life isn’t fair. It never was and never will be. It’s a hard truth to accept, but it’s just that, the truth.”

Nobody Forgets Mistakes

This user said, “If you do 1,000 good things, nobody cares. But if you make 1 mistake, nobody forgets.”

Nothing is Simple

“Nothing is as simple as you think. There is complexity and nuance in everything, and the closer you look, the more complexity and nuance you will find.”

Things Don’t Work Themselves Out

A top-liked comment said, “Things don’t work themselves out. You must spend time and effort on them, even if it’s a slow process. For example, many people think they will figure out their lives by age 30 but do nothing in their twenties.”

Take Responisbility

“Being responsible for yourself makes life easier. Some of the decisions you’ll make will be tough, but in the long run, you will be better off for it. When you take responsibility for yourself, you make fewer foolish decisions.”

Life Isn’t a Competition

One user shared, “Life isn’t a competition unless you make it that way. It’s a lot more exhausting to be trying to be “ahead” than just being content. This applies to all aspects of life. If we weren’t stepping on people’s toes to get “ahead,” we could all be happier in the end. That is just my middle age pessimist view, though.”

You’re Not That Handsome

A user boldly proclaimed, “That we’re not as handsome as our moms led us to believe.”

Be Your Own Hero

“There probably won’t be anyone for you to lean on in difficult times. You need to be prepared for the worst and learn to give without keeping any kind of expectations.”
