There is so much pressure nowadays to find a group to stick to depending on your interests and shared feelings. We girls think that we always feel lonely and this obviously makes us stronger, but wait a minute here: Have we ever thought how other people with various genders, shapes, sizes, and ages all survive this idiosyncratic feeling we take as a burden?
We as humans need to feel accepted by others. I mean, I think its impossible for anyone to live in isolation forever. Human beings are actually social creatures who are fueled by the presence of others and in order to achieve that sense of belonging, they have to be in the presence of groups.
Groups have the power to keep us united within a pack and feel content under the presence of others. However, I just find this whole process overwhelming. Why do we always think of women sharing the sorrows of their girlfriends excluding them?
What happened to the old people rotting in old homes and young boys trying to make their way through manhood?
Women should think about others once in a while and maybe put themselves in their shoes. For example, we all know how important it is for older people in elder homes to accept the trust of others so they can spend the rest of their lives feeling peaceful and content. They actually need the support of others who have been through similar lives like them and the same struggles they went through.
If we ever see an elder person sitting on a bench, we should always ask them about their lives and who they feel close to, so they can feel accepted in return.
As for young men, they do not need to interact with peers who can be dangerous to their growth as human beings. However, guys should not be just kept aside because they are strong enough to handle their emotions. They are human beings with feelings as well.
Sometimes, women feel they are the only ones going through this isolating feeling, but reaching out to others in the same situation can definitely help.
One thing is clear, though: You don't need to find similarities with others to feel some kind of connection. Instead of being hypocritical of the situation, we need to realize that other people go through the same issues as us. As women, we need to accept our situation and take steps to solving it instead of blowing it up.
Realistically, women do get super emotional at times, but other kinds of people of all ages and genders feel very similar. Maybe we should think about them before we complain, you know?
Disclaimer: I'm not blaming women for anything. But, I still feel that we should consider the situations of others too.
