I have written about this earlier and in my ebook. Calling out the elephant in the room highlights the issue. It makes you seem like even more of a problem. You think you are the only one experiencing this. But, many men are scapegoated in narcissistic families. This occurs no matter their background, culture, or color. In a way the narcissistic family draws a lot of similarities to a totalitarian or communist nation. This is because there is a main leader, the head narcissist. Everyone else blindly obeys them, even if they do not want to. This causes negative repercussions.
Not the reveal my political opinions, but this is something that is seen today now more than ever. This is where certain figures have made specific statements. They have called out certain actions in society. As a result, they have been banned on social media platforms and even arrested multiple times.
It is something that is happening in a few countries, notably the United Kingdom. Also, I am not here to debate who is right or wrong. Yet, what is being shown is public figures are speaking their minds on topics some people would agree with. This is leading to perceptions of them being altered. It is a similar situation to going through a smear campaign where you’re demonized and portrayed in a negative light. A lot of prominent male public figures go through this, so it is not only yourself going through this. My message is to keep on going and speaking your truth, even if others get offended. Ultimately, you’re not responsible for their feelings. You’re only responsible on how your react to the backlash you get.
