I feel a bit suffocated and stymied with my femininity.
I see males around me are quite active, assertive and dominant. They take quick decisions. They are good at cutting down too much fluff and emotion whereas I'm more like " girl crying into pillow not wanting to leave bed." I kinda admire the cutthroat masculinity in males.
Of course I love my graceful chaotic femininity, yet it is not helpful with achieving goals. I see masculine people doing better with goals.
My submissive female instinct causes me to surrender very quickly(imagine feminine sexual surrender). This makes me passive, submissive,docile but also less strict.
I always imagine I feel the need of a man(masculine figure/archetype) holding a whip and acting strict/disciplinary to make me do things. My submissiveness craves dominance to complete aspects that lack in dominance in my psyche.
I wanna achieve this on my own and integrate things that I lack.
I remember months ago Emerald(from Diamond Net) did my tarot reading and told me that I need to become more masculine or add masculine aspects to myself. She was right on the money..
As a strong feminine, I feel very comfy, girly girly and less purpose driven(please I don't want to sound sexist, so please don't make my thread into "I'm sexist" nonsense, I'm just trying to be honest about how I feel as a woman).
So I wanna ask - how to be more masculine ?
Additional information (added later)-
I need to cultivate masculinity but finding it difficult because I don't naturally posses it.
I have always been surrounded by females.
I never talk much to men.
So I'm kinda closed off to their masculinity.
There is no male in my life right now. I think having a male helps with such things. To have some influence.
Like whenever I'm surrounded by many men, I watch them, learn from them and I feel motivated to do better, I try to rub their qualities on me little bit, generally dominant males help me achieve this.
Also the men that I allow in my friends circle are feminine tame gay type men because if I allow those masculine dudes, they will quickly try to get sexual with me.
So there's an inherent "fight off" feeling with such men and I don't allow them to be my friends. I kinda push them out to avoid sexual tension.
I only allow the girly type men to come close and become friends..
Masculine men obviously generate some primal fear in me(images of forceful sex etc creating fear ) not that I'm afraid of such men but it can be a bit challenging to be around them unless it's a romantic scenario.
