Just do what you think is best, that's all you need to know.
Also, sleep, diet, exercise.
I've been getting into that the past year or so and I wish somebody told me sooner that if you get this basics right, you essentially become a 10x better version of yourself in everything lol
!mensliberation@lemmy.ca has good discussion on this topic
I think this should be higher up in this thread lol

Speaking of YouTube channels, I like Josh Strife Hayes when it comes to talking about toxic masculinity, bad role models, becoming a more positive and better person - things like that, though he mostly does this on streams, clip channel of which is Josh Strife Says.
I like this video in particular, but there are other clips that speak about similar topics.
Just some advice for other men. "Reason is, and ought to be the slave of the passions." Fellas, listen to your heart and speak your truth. You can't think your way out of feeling; your heart gives no fucks about reason or correctness. Be gentle with yourself, be honest, and don't suppress yourself. We are all complex primates who require complex care. Care for yourself.
