I have so many questions, but I'm mostly curious rn about paranoia and it's general prevalence in moid culture. It just seems like so many guys have a heightened sense of paranoia more frequently than others? What factors contribute to this tendency towards this constant vigilance?

Sorry if there is already a thread like this or if it's in the wrong place.

The knowledge that, in general, if I'm out and about in public or anywhere, if anything happens I'm pretty much on my own. Nobody will rush to my defense, nobody will protect me, nobody will help me.
 
What is "moid culture"?
I think it's cigars and probably boxer briefs but I wouldn't know.

And so when this permeates home life as well, is it like a responsibility thing? Or an isolative thing still?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe men are carrying pepper spray or those plastic brass knuckles.

Otherwise I suppose it’s what @Grub said, though I also don’t know what “moid culture” means. Are you referring more to preppers and that sort of paranoia about the state of society?

Paranoia is baseless fear and suspicion. Men have the traditional roles of protectors in society and to determine whether a suspicion has a valid basis or not, one must be alert and observe the world to form such conclusions. Men have also grown up accustomed to aggressive and sometimes violent competition with other boys. Most lively young boys who have been friends with each other for several years have probably punched and humiliated each other multiple times, a lot of us didn't grow up doing do cutesy BFF shit with our friends and hugging unicorns in the nearest magical forest (or whatever female friend groups do). Boys learn to always be on guard even if just against pranks.

Anyway, you are pathologizing male behaviour by describing it as paranoid. There's nothing actually wrong with with it.
 
what paranoia are you talking about? if you want meaningful answers you need to be more specific.

the general rule to consider is "it's not paranoia if it can actually happen to you" so when you think someone is acting paranoid, look at the thing he's concerned about and assess whether that is something that can actually happen to people or not.

example of delusional paranoia: wearing tinfoil hat to protect against FBI mind control rays, or looking for aliens in the desert around area 52. such things do not exist.
example of reasonable caution grounded in reality: keeping a firearm next to the bed in case of home invasion. home invasions do actually happen to people, and in some of them the target actually does use a firearm to repel the attacker.

I don't understand what you mean. At home I'm usually more paranoid than my wife about basic things but I stilll don't quite get it. Like I'm definitely more paranoid about fucking up the plumbing, or overloading circuits, or fucking up the car, things like that. My wife doesn't really even think about those things. Probably because she's not the one that's going to fix them when they break.

My unironic answer to your question:

This doesn't qualify as advice you mong.

Your question should only have one subject, not two. Your welcome for the unsolicited advice, no thanks are necessary.

Yes, it's a responsibility thing. If we're walking down a street at night alone, we feel fine because all we have to protect is ourselves, and if we fail at that we deserve it. If we're walking down a street at night with you, all the anxiety that you're relieved of is transferred to us because it's now our responsibility to protect both of us.
