For masculine identifying folks, what were the things you did (or had happen to you) that you feel helped you transition into adulthood and find fulfilling community?

Statistics suggest that a large number of men feel isolated, unvalued by society, and dysfunctional, but it’s not 100%.

    37 year old man here.

    I have one single rule that has guided me into being a functional adult, and that is:

    To be an adult, you have to understand when it is appropriate to be childish.

    This covers a shit load of stuff.

    You need to understand what…

    …“childish” means
    …“appropriate” means
    … it means to apply these concepts in real life.
