What does "Sigma" mean?

Pronounced SIG-muh · W word (positive) · core — still cool

Meaning

A self-reliant, quietly confident person who doesn't chase approval. Started in 'manosphere' meme culture; kids now use it mostly as a joke or a compliment.

Example

"He did the dishes without being asked. Sigma behavior."

Parent tip

Fine to use as praise for independence. Skip the 'grindset' lore; just reward the unprompted good deed.
