It's natural for most of us to seek validation of our ideals with our fellows. After all, we need others in order to validate ourselves from an existential perspective. But seeking to change society isn't an easy task and you will probably have to face a lot of loneliness. I think this is all the more true when it comes to men; our natural power process has been messed up with so that it takes a long time to reach our true potential.
Personally, because of how messed up pop culture itself is and how it affects people, I rather just wait until I can get control of a situation/group rather than try to get along with everybody and would rather be by myself most of the time. I do value friendship a lot, but because of how badly and messed up most people's values are, I would rather take strength from the people of my past, rather than live in the present. Everyday live has become a rather spiritual experience, at least for me.
