What we are raised on
Have it ever come to mind about how we are raised, as a boy and girl? Why do boys play with action figures and girl with barbie dolls? Well from the moment we are raised we all are expected to do and be many things? As a boy you are expected to be strong, leaders, smart, independent. As to girls expected to be more girly... thats not what i mean but they are expected be more dependent, interact, playful. Thats what we are born into, thats how much people are affected. We never notice the things that affect us in life until we take a step back and slow down. Life never stops for us. Growing up for me i was never given much love being a boy and everything, i lost my mom so i really dont have much feeling. I was raised to be more independent, so i became.

So I became...what? You are leaving us hanging. I would venture to say though that you were loved, or else you wouldn't be who you are today, right? You are obviously not Genie or someone like that. But maybe you mean that the love was not shown in an affectionate, motherly way and so you learned those stereotypical masculine traits: independent, unemotional, etc...Is that what you mean?
