When I see an unfamiliar man (or men) on the street, passing by, when I am driving next to me in public transport, when I communicate about any business, how do I feel?

I can definitely feel my increased tension.

From somewhere I already internally know that with men I should be less trusting, less sensitive and uncertain - less vulnerable.

Better to expose a kind of "manly facade".

It's calmer this way.

It turns out that there is a great anxiety in me that I can be "caught", caught in the fact that I really am that way - trusting, sensitive, uncertain.

After all, I remember, this has already happened many times in my life: as soon as I showed myself at least a little bit in a man's company, I instantly "raked" ridicule, mockery, humiliation. This has been the case since childhood.

Yes, and I myself mocked, teased, mocked the "weaklings".

Just not to notice that I myself am.

How awful it is not to be yourself in order to be a man.

How sad it is to be a man, forbidding yourself to be yourself.

When I think that the strangers who pass me by in my life may feel the same way, I want to say: “I am as walled up in myself as you are. You are my brothers. I am sad and afraid., I am afraid and yearning as much as you."

And you know, when I think so, looking at men unfamiliar to me, it becomes easier for me.

I myself relax and give them the opportunity to relax next to me.

Fear and melancholy are replaced by empathy.
