Being a Man in Your 20s
The emotional landscape of your 20s — what's happening beneath the noise of daily life, which feelings surface most, and where to look for help.
What's actually happening in your 20s
Your 20s are the only decade of life society tells you should be a mess. Use that. It's also the decade that sets the emotional patterns you'll carry for decades unless you actively disrupt them.
Themes that show up most: identity formation, career launch, romantic mistakes, the first taste of real loneliness, comparing yourself to everyone
