Thanks for reading. Sorry this is the case 🫂

I’m not trying to redirect or dismiss what you’re saying. I’m drawing a distinction between two different levels of the discussion. One level is structural: the barriers men face in areas like work, relationships, and social expectations. Those are real conversations and they matter. The level I’m addressing in the article is psychological regulation: what happens internally when a person’s entire sense of worth becomes dependent on constant achievement feedback. Those two things are not mutuall…

Ahhh I think I see where we the misunderstanding is. See, when I talk about men and burnout, I don't mean men who are facing blockers they can't surpass. I'm not talking to guys who could reach higher in the ladder but feel it may be too hard on them, or guys who are performing at a below-average so that they can rest on their laurels. No, I'm talking about the guy who's already a top 3 worker on their team, has excellent numbers, is widely recognized by their peers and still have a terrible tim…

Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I want to make sure I’m understanding your interpretation correctly. When you mention things like “getting secure attachment,” “de-centering ambition,” or “reframing events,” are you referring to them as the implied alternatives you see in the article? If so, it would be helpful to hear how you’re interpreting those ideas and where the ambiguity or contradiction appears from your perspective. I suspect we may actually be pointing toward something similar, bu…

I appreciate the thoughtful critique. I think the disagreement may come from how the argument is being interpreted. I’m not suggesting that adult life offers unconditional positive regard in the same way early attachment ideally does (which is actually based on parental figures and not the mother alone). You’re right that most adult relationships (workplaces, partnerships, communities) involve conditions, expectations, and reciprocity. The point I’m making is different. It’s about how self-worth…

Those are interesting points, and I agree that the literature on gender bias in hiring and education has become much more nuanced over the last couple of decades. The trends you mention (decreasing bias against women in some domains and emerging biases against men in others) are being discussed more openly in recent meta-analyses. That said, my article isn’t really making a claim about hiring discrimination levels or labor-market bias. The focus is narrower: how many men regulate their sense of …

Hey! Thanks for reading. That’s an interesting point, and you’re right that testosterone plays an important role in status-related behavior. A lot of the research you mention shows that testosterone modulates how men respond to status contexts, especially unstable ones. In competitive or uncertain hierarchies, testosterone tends to increase status-seeking behavior, risk-taking, and dominance-related strategies. None of that contradicts the point of the article. The distinction I’m making is betw…

So, I've been reading the paper you linked to (thank you for the info!) and in the gender category, they are quick to point out that the studies disagree with each other massively. The heterogeneity stat (I²) comes in at 94.81%, which is basically as high as it gets = it means some studies found discrimination against women, some against men, and some found no difference at all. When individual studies are that inconsistent, the average tells you very little. What the paper actually shows is tha…

Hey fellas, I am currently writing articles about men’s mental health based on patterns I often see in my work with male patients. Part of the motivation is that there still isn’t a lot of accessible, thoughtful information about many of the psychological issues men struggle with. I’d like to help add to that conversation. This piece focuses on something a lot of us seem to internalize growing up: that our worth is tied to external achievement (work, productivity, status), and how that can gradu…

I'm sorry to hear that's the case. You can pull through brother, dealing with overthinking is simpler than it seems. Good luck.

Hello everyone. I’ve been writing a lot lately about men’s mental health, and one topic that keeps coming up in my clinical work is erectile dysfunction, especially when psychological factors are involved. What strikes me most isn’t just the symptom itself, but 2 things: a) the amount of suffering men carry before they ever talk about it and b) the onslaught of medications, recipes, procedures and surgeries sold to "solve" the issue. On the one hand, what keeps the problem going isn’t that it’s …

That's such a shame to hear. You are right, it's downright betrayal. How can trust be built if that's what we get in return? People need to do better.

Holy heck, I'm so sorry you had to endure that. Another thing that also works is developing the "social arsenal" needed to defuse attacks and criticisms and call out the other person. I see that when guys are equipped with the ability to say "whoa hold on, you can disagree but I won't take shit for expressing how I feel" or it's equivalent, it goes a looong way in making the other person reconsider later what biases they have against men opening up, while the man manages to protect his own space…

Hey! Thanks for your comment. I actually agree that we need to focus on creating incentives that allow men to want to open up, to be able to understand that confronting one's demons is anything but weakness, as well as calling out those that want men to stay silent.

Hello everyone. So, I recently started writing articles on Men's mental health. I wrote this one in particular after working with (and reading) a lot of men’s stories where the pain is real, but the conclusions can drift into places that ultimately make things worse. My goal wasn’t to tell men they’re “right” or “wrong,” but to walk that fine line between validating emotional experience and not validating harmful narratives that can grow out of it. I’ve also worked with groups and colleagues (I'…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
