I think we can do better at being more understanding. I personally know that if I came off adversarial, it's because I was carrying my own pain and that came to the surface in a negative way. It's a problem for me that I am working on still.

So I can't really point the finger at anyone, as my hands aren't clean.

I too am one that gets a good chuckle out of false machismo. I'm a more emotional man, and I don't know if that's due to my horrible father raising me or if it is truly who I am. Every day I try to actually decide for myself how I want to be on lots of things. I hate that I even have to think about it sometimes. But alpha bro stuff is pretty funny to me.

I think what's truly alpha is being unafraid to say just who and what you are. I had to laugh at my FIL and friend, as they made fun of a guy and said he needs to "get therapy". The next time I hear that one, I'm to mention that I have been in therapy for over a year and that I find it absurd that this is used as a joke. I am unafraid to say to my rural friends that I enjoy parts of living near a big city. I don't feel need to prove who is the "most country" and I always found it just as absurd as some city guys I used to play sports with trying to prove who was the "most gangster".

I'm going to do what I can to make this place better. I like the input that everyone has shared so far.

Many Worries - I hope you can continue to offer up suggestions. Thank you.
