      #FF @strnglft @raptros_ I've been engaging with younger guys more recently, giving a bit of advice from time to time (when warranted), and it's so delightful to see young men thriving, moving forward, making progress, having good attitudes. Most want to succeed.

      2/ ...but a cursed few want to be miserable, and want constant sympathy and attention that being miserable generates. It superficially looks similar to young guys who want to do well, but it's different. They don't take attention like a vitamin, to help them on their journey

      3/ ...but try to live off of the pity and the sympathy and attention as their fuel, like vampires drinking blood. These few are stuck on local optima, where being loudly pathetic guarantees them attention and emotional support. Any progress makes them less pathetic, which >

      4/ means that - in the short term - their social interactions and support dry up a bit. It's a long slog through lowlands between a small local optima just above sea level, and the plateaus in the distance. Many guys don't have a map, and that's OK. Help them by showing them

      Saw the same thing in Scouts. Many of the problem boys didn't have a positive male role in their life. Dad is gone.

      One of my favorites was always negative. As we're packing to go on an outing he's whining and crying he hates it. He doesn't want to go. I play the hard case and get him loaded up. When we came back he was super positive. "That was the best trip ever!" Total inversion.

      When I was 13 I was in scouts, signed up for an optional 1 week / 50 mile backpacking trip. Day 1 I got hideous blisters. Told scoutmaster. "Do you want to drop out?" me: .... no him: ok I pushed on. Hurt like hell. Finished the week. 35 years later, still super proud

      I always push the 50 milers. Kids before they do it think it's crazy, who could do that?!? Adults know that a century ago everyone was capable of this sort of activity. Afterwards they have bragging rights to all their buddies at school. I hiked the entire PCT through Oregon

      it can be done. I had a buddy who did his last one at 50 after he'd had a Stent put in. Take your evening walks under a pack. Build up Just don't try to keep up with any 16 year olds. Damn kids. Got it too easy.

      issue isn't age or conditioning - issue is job, family, farm, etc. and not "can't" but instead "rank ordering priorities"
