I've gained a bit of an asshole side to me these days.

Don’t bother opening up to modern women, they don’t care about men, they hate us and only see us as a walking atm or wallet, we are nothing to them other than a resource to sponge off.

"holy shit it’s no wonder the suicide rate for males is way higher and there’s a mental health crisis….nobody gives a fuck about what we go through and people actually find it funny which is very fucked up"

Yep-now you understand how sick and vile things have become for men.

Sad, but true. I have an anxiety disorder and I literally get laughed at when I bring it up. And I don’t bring it up in a “Woe is me, everyone feel bad for me” kind of way. I mention it in a matter-of-fact fashion, and it gets shut down. So I handle my own issues. It’s the only choice that most men really have.

They already have won.

The cultural zeitgeist of feminism and women's rights have permeated throughout our modern day era.

This isn't going to change anytime soon from the fact that women biologically are favored more, men are usually seen as disposable commodities, and women generally are seen as the weaker sex.

Which is ironic, from the feminist mantras of being independent and worthy alongside men. And yet, women and feminists alike are usually in soft cushioned jobs and careers.

Hopefully, these things will lessen sooner or more.

I get attacked all the time for taking about being abused so I just shut up for years. Even when it's not a major issue having feelings is often seen as pathetic. When I withdraw and hold everything in it just ends up making me sick then they complain that I'm too detached.

tbh most people "opening up about their emotions" dont want any solutions, they just want to bitch (and will keep bitching if you allow them.)

also, most people cant help you with your problems. when i open up to most of my buddys, its just "oh thats sad" "oh man i feel you" "idk, seems like that sucks tho" - like great, thanks, but how is this getting me anywhere? waste of time, really.

the solution i chose is to just find a select few who truely understand you and have the wisdom to guide you trough it in the area your struggeling, and you do the same for them. then treat the rest as people to just have fun with, dont try to make them understand, dont share your problems and dont take them seriously.

It's crazy to me that 2nd wave feminists championed men to open up about their emotions, and then 3rd wave feminism kicks whomever in the nuts when they do.

Just food for thought: they read these things and it gives them joy

I am so tired of “try therapy” when I express any negative emotions to my so called friends. Maybe I want someone who cares about me as a human to listen to me and empathize? Maybe I want you to care? Maybe we together should be able to talk through possible solutions?

But instead, I get the cop out. Men and women do this. Not everyone, not the good ones. But when people go for this it is so clear they don’t want to deal with my feelings then why should they get the benefits of my friendship?

You cant have conversations like this with women. maybe your mom if ypur lucky but the rest just dont give a fuck

PuzzleheadedMess3455 · 2024-06-10T21:49:25+00:00

What are you doing? Stop and give yourself a well-deserved slap! You dont open up to gyno humans ever never ever! You're better off getting a dog and talking to the dog.

So, if someone has said or proven that they don't care about your feelings, why try to make them? Why brood over it? Just remove that person from your life, stop caring about them in turn and start caring about yourself.

Everyone keeps saying "They don't care about me.". And? They're not obligated to, neither are you - them.
So, why waste time with this? Deal with it and move on. Don't give them any attention or thought.

If you want someone to care about you, seek them out. If you find more arseholes, leave them and move on.
Keep going till you find people worth caring for, then stick with them. It's not going to be easy, it's not going to be quick. It's going to take time and it's sometimes going to suck. Just keep at it.

Stop giving your heart to people who don't reciprocate, it's not rocket surgery.

Yeah, men's mental health is not supported enough, but look at this fucking sub. Every time someone brings up something about men's mental health, it becomes a frenzy of blaming women. It's hard to take seriously people who claim to want to support men by posting on this sub drenched in bitter hatred.
