I lived for those moments back when I tried to be a guy, as dudes never talk about themselves in that way if in too large a group. It's hard for guys to have the same sort of support networks as a result, something I don't think will entirely change. Y'all just socialize differently, ribbing on and making fun of each other as a form endearment much more naturally. So long as you make sure to have people you can talk with honestly as well, it's a pure thing to be able to relentlessly bully your homies most of the time.

That said, I wouldn't choose to go back in a million years ๐Ÿ˜
