Men and women tend to take criticism harder, and enjoy compliments more, when they come from someone/something they presume is the opposite sex.
Even when it's complete strangers online.

Yes, but it's just instinct. Most people suffer this to some extent.
We tend to take the rejection of potential mates harder, even if it's someone we have a platonic relationship with or it's literally a trollbot that autoposts "She could stand to lose some weight." under every womans' Instagram selfies.
seeking validation is the sunken place. yes we have all been there.
There seems to be some comfortable median, between vanity and indifference.
I wouldn't want to not-care, but obsessing over it is also not healthy.
i think its childhood issues. you grow up saying look at me mom/dad and they say, yes, very good son/daughter. you become an adult and say hey fren look at me, look at me. and like most children the response you get is brutal. children can be ruthless to one another even as adults.
On the other hand, we don't want to become antisocial and friendless.
too late 😂😂😂
nobody likes you and nobody cares. guess its time to like yourself and to become your own best friend. me and jesus till the end. fuck the fuckers 🙂
as a male socializing and friendship is over hyped. i love to talk and people as a whole but i dont trust them as far as i can throw them.
I trust other people, including some men. They are truly fond of me, I think, as friends. They like me.
I would miss them, and my ladies, as well.
I am not meant to be alone.
i understand. i am alone but not lonely there is a difference. as a miitary brat i had to learn to say goodbye every 4-5 years and yes i think of my frens all the time so they are still with me in memory. as an adult i like to move around. i learned to be comfy in a place where i cant speak to the people due to language barriers, no frens or family and no point of reference. its exhilarating 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
