I am a guy, but I am scared of men and being associated with men because I have had a narcissistic father

Initially I thought men were the problem because of my father, other stories I heard. I are up socially isolated not having any other male role model. Feminism is at the other extreme. I also have some difficulty picking up social cues(I am not diagnosed autistic, but with the CPTSD I cant say what it really is).Any resources/suggestions to communicate with men?

There is a subreddit named Men are Good. That might help by offering positive male exposure.

But ultimately, it depends on what you want from your male identity.

Getting a male therapist that you feel safe with might be an idea to explore.

Well there is another sub that deals with others who have had nasty narcissistic parents.

r/raisedbynarcissists is it and they seem to do a wonderful job in helping others.

Yes I am on that. But I am looking for something that’s can help rebuild my sense of being a male(?) (don’t know the word but yeah).

Ahh ok I gotcha

I'm afraid I don't know anything like that, but I do hope you find something

I suggest posting this on r/mensrights and see what they have to say, maybe it’ll be helpful.

Other than that I recommend r/menaregood for wholesome content about good men

In light of this, maybe we shouldn't recommend that sub.

Try finding groups with hobbies you like, that should be a smooth enough entry point.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
