Perhaps the cure to male loneliness is men stepping up for men. As a former lost boy myself, I certainly would have appreciated it.

Now I mentor the shit out of juniors in my professional life.

    As I’ve grown older I have felt regret about not stepping into a mentor role like this. I genuinely don’t think I’m the person to do it, nor do I consider myself capable.

      Aww, no reason to regret being who you are 🤗 good for you that you know your weaknesses and who you are, takes a lot to do so!

        I’m not sure about that. In general I do feel as if I don’t contribute nearly enough to society in order to make it a better place.
