My parents want me to work out
Hey people, i want to vent. I've been really sport depressed for two months now(ye..) and so i wanted to work out again and my parents talked about it with me and i was kinda excited to start but then my dad said 'you need to do sport to attract girls. ' and the idea of doing sport again after he said that turned me off. i'm a gay male and all my life people have told me to work out/do sport not to be healthy but in a toxic masculinity way (just to get girls basically) and idk what to do
I’m assuming your father grates these toxic conventions into you routinely and being fed such words every now and then can build up a whole lot of frustration.
For you exercise isn’t a means to an end , it’s a source of means in itself , of happiness
but hearing that time and again from your own father feels like expectations being set , re...... 1 reply
