I'm not creative enough to think of a title

  What is a “sigma male?”

  And why would you be ridiculed and scorned for opening up emotionally?

  None of this meme makes sense to me.

    There’s plenty of people that are scared to open up to others because they are scared of their reaction. I am one of them.

      I’m sorry to hear that. Try talking to a counselor or therapist. I felt the same way for a long time and I’ve gradually worked up the confidence to express how I feel and express my emotions. It was really hard and took a lot of work (and therapy and medication) and I feel completely empowered now. It’s a great feeling.

    because people are mean and repeat the mean things that have been done to them, and difficult emotions make people uncomfortable and one way to avoid them is punishing people who do open up

      I do not have the experience of being punished for opening up. Who has punished you for it?

    My parents and school teachers and peers made it very clear to me that if you show emotion such as sadness, jealousy, frustration, fear, or anxiety, you were not living up to being a male and thus are weak and deserving of punishment, physical violence, and social isolation and ridicule.

      Where did you grow up? That was absolutely not my experience as a kid in Indiana.

    Sigma > Alpha now apparently, Alpha is the new Beta

    Not to sound like a blue-haired liberal, but at least in my neck of the woods, toxic masculinity is to blame. Like, one of my favorite internet folk got bullied off the internet recently for saying he likes girls a little too enthusiastically. Some dudes will absolutely tear you apart if you are a man that exhibits anything other than stoic passivity.

      I honestly can’t even wrap my head around that. He was bullied off the internet for being heterosexual?

    I had to Google it and what came up seems to be it’s basically a lone wolf but worded by people who also use terms like alpha male.

    I may be wrong though.

      The alpha male gets rebranded every time once the previous rebranding gets ridiculed to death.

      Not really, it was supposed to be a person so above the “alpha beta” bullshit, not caring about how people perceive them, that they wrap around the “spectrum” in front of “alpha”. It was meant to be a comedic / sarcastic way to rebuke toxic standards, but it was assimilated into the general “philosophy” of it.

      So basically it’s all bullshit anyway

  I don’t open up emotionally because no one cares

  Same picture, different coping mechanism

• UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I don’t open up because I don’t want to scar other people with the contents of my head. We are not the same.

  • MashedTech@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    This would have been a much better meme.

  What’s a sigma male 🤨?

  source

  • Red_October@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Sigma Males are what those guys who used to call themselves Alpha Males now call themselves, because everyone started making fun of them for calling themselves Alpha Males.

    source

    • Empricorn@feddit.nl ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      So… let’s make fun of them for calling themselves Sigma Males. It’s at least as dumb, and more reactionary.

  Bold of you to assume I’m a sigma male.

  I think this meme would be funnier if the first two lines were swapped.
