The best way I ever heard it summarized: "Testosterone makes effort feel good." That lines up with my own experience. I was at the very bottom of the range at one time, stress, crappy diet, terrible relationship, lack of sleep, etc. over the course of 5 years of correcting all of these things, regular bloodwork, addressing my insulin resistance and bringing up mineral deficiencies, I raised it almost 600 points. The difference in my life was night and day.

"The problem is the frequency with which we reward aggression."
Such a good wrap-up line! Too often we are willing to turn a blind eye to undesirable tactics and methods as long as the people using them are on "our side" of an issue. But in doing so, we are not only rewarding those bad behaviors, but encouraging the "other side" to use the same tactics in order to "win". This turns into a feedback loop that sends our society into a downward spiral of ferocity and chaos.

As someone who has experimented with PEDs, testosterone really just heightens whatever qualities you normally have. If you already have a little confidence, youâll have more confidence. If youâre a little aggressive, youâll be more aggressive. Youâll have a higher drive to succeed, but something Iâve noticed for myself is a strong drop in empathy. Iâm already kind of a shithead and test kind of extrapolates that.

Honestly one of the most interesting videos I've seen on testosterone and aggression. It just reinforces the idea for me that the way we socialise boys is really flawed and leads to most of the bad outcomes we see. A lot of guys around me were socialised to "Never take any disrespect" and you can see that on nights out where a little faux pas from a stranger turns into a fight. Fragile egos + the male tendency to fight to preserve status is dangerous as fuck
I'm not even safe from it, when someone steps to me the idea of being seen as a pussy fills my mind and I cant stand it. Luckily I like having money and employment more than fighting people.

2:40 Vasopressin is more responsible for aggression than testosterone is in animals, this goes for people, too, along with the social factors you've laid out in this video. Good video, informing as always.

When depressed, your mind will cling to what normally may make you depressed, and indicate that as the cause. Hormones of any kind do seem like an amplifier of how ever your cognition already functioned.
Since starting testosterone treatment, I seriously struggle to think of any way it's affected my mind, and it's been at least two years since. I can't even say with any confidence if my sex drive has changed. For whatever that anecdote may be worth, even if it's just interesting.
