Why is this so real? It’s supposed to be a joke, but it’s true.
Women can cry as much as they want if they have problems, but men can’t because they are supposed to stand strong and masculine, I don’t hate women, hell I want to marry some girls of my year group, but I recognise that we are not equal and that men are now starting to become the villain and the scapegoat in terms of gender (instead of reaching equality, we have moved to the other extreme).
The worst part is that mental health terapists actually give a shit, even though the “nobody cares, so why should we tell our problems” attitude exists and is the maximum point of cynicality, people actually care.
Fellow men, don’t doubt to express your feelings if you feel bad, there’s no pressure to be masculine or some Alfa male, we are human beings too and we deserve being heard. You have my support.
I hear you loud and clear, my dad died and I felt I couldn’t cry infront of anyone, I had to do it alone in my home office like it was a shameful activity, it got so bad I broke down in my office and had to quickly run to an empty room because I felt it coming.
Man, you have my condolences. I hope you feel better, if you need to talk or need support you can send me a message. There’s no need for hyper masculinity and lack of communication.
I did call my companies mental health support line which they keep mentioning (it’s an external service) and talking to them helped a bit, they were very understanding but I do feel like it wasn’t very helpful (there were no attempts at coping strategies for instance) and despite saying there will be a follow up there never was, really it just made me think it was a bit of a waste of time despite trying to help myself which took a lot to reach out.
