I don't feel like I'm lying to myself. I face the world but I don't dwell on the shit I have no control over. Also, the world definitely loves me. Perspective I guess. Hope you find happiness somehow.
I don't think this needs too be gendered. Older men can give advice because they've been around the block too. Doesn't really have to be about age necessarily either. You just have to discern if advice is good or not.
I'd have to research it. Also, why does that matter to you personally. Fuck society. Be a human who is deserving of love and you'll get it. Make the world a better place in the ways you can and attract people who care about you.
All throughout history? Love for fathers. Love for sons. Love for husbands. Love for many leaders. So many examples. You might even be the product of love.
No? Men have been loved and hated throughout history. Same is true for everyone and everything. If you lack love it's because you don't love yourself or you're an asshole.
That's not actually how the world works. Maybe that's my personal experience but it's an incredibly negative way to think and I think it is more a self fulfilling prophecy than a reality.
