me too

We're all individuals with individual drives and beliefs. Strong opinions.

There is no one way.

I hear people talking like they are preaching

in an authoritative way

Possibly just a bulwark for trolls, I haven't seen any here, but plenty in other MGTOW spheres

rather than an open respectable discussion

When it gets to be too out of hand, people are removed. This is generally a respectful place. But no one can tell you or anyone how to live your life.

It shouldn't be a surprise that people will try to.

It's up to you to know better.

I try to hold off on my opinions or ideas....because the few I have expressed I have been told that I am wrong.............I've heard so really outreageous BS in this place. I tried to give my opinion, was pretty much shut down for going against the grain....yet you all say "go your own way" that is unless.........it isn't "our way"

I feel you.

no you don't

I generally don't give my opinions for the same reason.

Thats just best to ignore when they try

but eventually I realized that I don't need my opinions validated.

People will always try to add their two cents.

You will always be wrong to one or two or a few.

people need their opinions challenged...and not confrontational per say..........

Agreed.

I started to tell a pretty crazy story, but it got shot down in less than 5 minutes

happens all the time here

it's my life story though, Im not making anything up, and I dont need it validated

Whats going on now?

I find peoples minds are so pre-conditioned to reject anything outside the norm

If people don't want to hear your story, tell it anyway and ignore them. If you can't do that and this place is too toxic for you (any place), leave. You don't have to be anywhere you don't want to be. Be happy.

@Kazemaru just talking.

MGTOW is full of really strong opinions. People who are hurt, still hurting, battling with all kinds of shit.

@MufflePuff looks like a fight to me....

lol No one is fighting.

Just thinking

No matter what just be at peace.

no Muffle......people in MGTOW "got it all figured out" that's the problem

It's not worth getting upset.

That's not people in MGTOW, that's people in general

Got it! It's a phyllosophical battle! Alright! Keep on!

I don't know what forum you're on

Look around, everyone is obsessed with their own opinion.

I like huMANs sentiment of not even using the MGTOW label, but to just say we're going our own way. Why need to qualify yourself? MGTOW is not the ultimate trait of any sensible man going their own way

Exactly.

You don't have to explain yourself to anyone.
