I meant more like gender exclusive things. He told me about going to an all-boys summer camp once and I started crying. I experienced all those things lol

Yeah like I know this isn’t what you’re asking for and is ultimately not the point but it is important to remember that plenty of people didn’t have particularly gendered childhoods like I really can’t think of much I did that was specific to being a boy (by which I mean it’s not like there’s canonical boy things you missed out on)

I understand but my childhood was extremely gendered, I wasn’t even allowed to be friends with other boys, I guess maybe what I’m wanting is just community with guys but in a way I missed out on as a kid. Like I feel more scared around men as an adult despite being a gay man lol

Ahh ok I see, I’m sorry. Maybe look for a communal activity where you can have some male camaraderie like maybe fighting games or like rock climbing or something, I feel like that’s a pretty good way to get that sort of feeling, and I feel like that feeling is a bit of throughline for male relationships no matter the age, just kind of doing things together, obv everyone does that but imo there can be a guy specific vibe to it yk

Idk if that’s really all that helpful but either way I really hope you can find what you’re looking for, it sucks to feel that sort of disconnect
