One of the things that’s difficult as a man is that we don’t, for the most part, have any type of ritual to signal the transition from adolescence to adulthood and that’s problematic. It feels like we are in limbo for a long time and it can be challenging dealing with that. With that comes changes in feelings, mindset and a list of other things.
I would certainly recommend removing the people from your life that don’t understand the things you’re feeling and push it aside. It’s impossible to always do that but it’s good to remove the real outliers and focus on the best ones.
