I’ve gotten to a point where I realize my “take no shit from anyone” attitude is really tied to my idea of masculinity and shows up on a toxic way. I will unapologetically and quickly move to cussing someone out over something I take offense to, usually if it pertains to “respect.” I don’t Men, women, whoever and wherever, if someone is an asshole to me I can’t help but match / amplify that energy. In these situations while most people would agree I’m justified in crashing out, I don’t just snap on people randomly for fun or without reason, that being said there’s not always a great reason and I’m at an age now where I realize that’s dumb as fuck honestly, and unless someone is actively threatening me or my family I would like to let it just roll off my back, but it’s been tied to my perception of masculinity my whole life, when I was younger I was bullied and had to stand up for myself and I think somewhere along the way I perverted sticking up for myself with unnecessary aggression when I feel slighted. I aspire to be a real chill guy and 99% of the time I am, and I’m not violent / bitter I just would like to know how I can move past this toxic idea of taking no shit, and just be a “whatever bro” kinda guy.
