you don't look like pic naturally, it takes conscious and continious effort to look, dress and act like this.
for submissiveness, try some egoist/nihilist shit, maybe even de Sade, to convince yourself you're the only master here
> effeminate
androgynous looks are not bad. if it's the behavior, try being more straightforward and give less shits.
> neurotic, anxious
again, give less fucks, especially about women. females (excluding tomboys and the like) constantly overthink, worry about shit, and make people around them worry even more. hang out with laid-back people

I can't stop my mannerisms or how I deal with conflict, I just shut down and allow people to do/say whatever they want to me while I stare into space and look like I'm about to cry. I just have too much negative emotion and I'm probably not even aware of how much of a faggot I look like from behaviours I picked up I'm not conscious of and I just don't understand how to act like a man I don't just mean trying to embody some sort of really esoteric concept of masculinity, literally just not acting like a submissive neurotic faggot.

Not gonna lie, OPs pic triggers me on a deep and visceral level. I fucking hate this type of person so much. I probably shouldn't let it get under my skin, but even just looking at this picture is enough to make me feel so uneasy.

I don't know what it is: the exuberance and unrestrained flamboyance, the construction and projection of a self-image that basically cariacatures the LGBT in the most stereotypical and uninteresting manner possible, the vapid and shallow socio-cultural and artistic ideals that these people invariably pedal, or the insistence on turning their sexual identity and inclinations into a spectacle for the world to 'enjoy'.

Regarding the last point: I have, on several occasions, discussed the topic of public displays of promiscuity with these sort of people and they will 100% have one of several possible response (1) they will simply bite the bullet and aknowledge that they want nothing more than a feast of man meat, (2) they will say it's "not inherently sexual"/that they're "just having innocent fun", (3) they will say that you're closed minded/a fascist/don't know how to have fun or suggest that you must have some sort mental health issue or other "personal problem" that prevents you from having what they consider to be a normal and healthy sex life.

Just stop watching porn and ideally disengaged as much as you can from modern culture generally. Men like James Charles are simply what you get when a culture that idealises self-actualisation meets with ideal presented in porn, of the desired woman who has achieved perfect happiness in being a sexual object. This is where autogynephilia comes from. Its men who have been taught to create themselves robbed of a concrete masculine ideal immersing themselves in the world of porn and finding themselves envying female porn stars--the perfect vehicle for the inadequate, self-hating man.

I need to stop being a pigheaded, macho, lackadaisical, disheartened bro.
This masculinity I've been poisoned with frequently compromises my soul. I've set aside my compassion to slut shame, bully, and fight, all in vain, performances for what I feel is expected of me, all against my deepest sentiments. I'm a phoney. I wear a cold stone mask but the veil flies off when my blood warms. I'm labile, which is a scary and unexpected thing for a burly mountaineer to be.

For some reason that I can't explain, after getting a brief summary of this James Charles bit, I was actually deeply impressed, far more than I thought I would be about his motives.
Something about a gay man trying to turn straight men gay is pretty alluring, I'm not going to sugar-coat it.
I'm not saying I would suck his dick but he's a seductive guy in that sense. He out-right said that he didn't like gay men because of how filthy they were, which seems reasonable enough.
He seems like he's actually integrate his shadow which is pretty rare I'd imagine for a gay, who would usually either stay closeted or immediately get AIDS. I don't know, I can't remember the last time a woman actually took the effort into seducing me, even 25%
It's so tiring as a guy to do ALL the legwork romantically ALL the time, which barely any reciprocation. The most I've ever got from women is superficial compliments. It would be nice to experience someone actually seducing me, it's flattering, even if he's unfortunately a guy / fag /etc.

I actually wanted to write a story about a crossdressing prostitute who eventually becomes traditional or escapes being "degenerate."

The scene would be a meeting with a client going wrong, the protagonist being violently beaten, raped, and then a scene of our protagonist being led naked through the woods by a white deer and attaining some kind of spiritual apotheosis. The idea isn't too serious, but i like the idea of a bloodied androgyne following a white deer into the woods. It's just a cool image.

I also wanted to do it because I do think most commonly found narratives of sin and redemption seem to look at alcoholism / drug addiction / violence as serious vices that need to be overcome, whereas the modern age clearly has issues with pornography and warped sexuality such that people need to realize that sexuality can be a vice and moreover, that one can redeem oneself even after indulging in that vice.
