Who of you are going through adulthood male emotional independence, including separation from women and mother? (MGTOW monk mode?)

M23. While I wouldn't consider your thoughts the same as mine but I would not say they are too different either so here's mine.

Although not completely, I do think I have detached myself from my family emotionally. It's not like it was on purpose, that's just how it naturally formed overtime and that's fine because I know there's a good foundation between me and the siblings and I do plan to keep that bridge up as I get older. They've never met most of my friends, people I've dated or know when I've dated someone and they should except it to continue that way.

I got nothing against relationships as MGTOW, I just refuse to marry and partly because of that I don't look to get into LTRs, also I don't want kids so no point in messing with someone else's dating experience. I've tried going monk a few months ago and I realized that I am pretty weak to urges, I need sex because lefty just isn't doing the job on the hard days so when I can't get casual sex from online dating...sex work is the thing (trying to not go too deep in it though). My point is, I don't know how someone starting MGTOW early can continue on to their 40s or 50s while going monk without facing some serious loneliness. I feel like you have to have the managed, short-lived relationships or friendships.

I had someone I know help me write a professional cover letter earlier last year and after seeing the final copy, all I could think of was "am I suppose to kiss their ass and tell them I will kiss their ass some more everyday after they hire me." It all felt so weird trying to get a job in my field that in the end i just decided to go ahead with it because all I need is 60k-100k and I'd be good. I'm currently renting a room at one of the sibling's and I plan to find a decent condo when this C-word shit storm stabilizes.

Cutting yourself off from distractions and important influences will definitely help in the long run with understand yourself but I'd say careful on how much you alienate those you want in your circle. Good luck with your path.
