There's "nobody gives a fuck how you feel" and then there's me with "as the only son, your whole family is allowed to constantly emotionally abuse you because boys need to go up to be strong." That "use it against me" guy hit hardest because so many people don't realize that I'm not just dealing with global apathy. I actively have people who view my failure as necessary or desirable for their outcomes, and some of these people end conversations with, "I love you."

I do have someone to talk to: a therapist. And we're having a lot of trouble making progress because I don't even know how to vocalize my issues, among which is trusting this stranger to not exploit any vulnerability, even if it's only perceived. But at least that guy and most of the world make basic sense to me: they just want money, not suffering.

My wife of 40 yrs died in 2020. I'm alright.

Accepting care for men challenges both the monopoly women have in victimhood and the resources and pampering due to this.

Its true no one gives a fuck, we can see that everywhere. Even when men have it worse in earthquakes, shipwrecks, war etc its twisted to how "women are most affected".

This really counter the feminist male privilege ideology.

I'm alright.

Invest in your friendships from as early in your life as you possibly can. Keep your friends close. Build a group with a strong "why" that is common for all of you. Do not despair. You're not as alone as you may think. Be safe, be strong, love yourselves!

I had a panic attack this morning and was vomiting from nerves. I turned to chatgpt to talk.

Care to give us any insight on what it actually SAYS? Not everyone has caved to the EME crowd.

I think it’s wildly important to let your male friends know you love them. It’s not whack or weird or strange. My friends mean the world to me and it’s important to me that they know that.

One of our biggest issues is being vulnerable and open with those we care for the most. We’re afraid to be seen as that.

But at the EoD let your friends know you love them and by the grace of your cloud daddy, if they need to make that call, they know you’ll answer.

Nobody cares, my wife wanted to know what I was thinking once when I was down, and she got upset at me for feeling the way I do.

Fuck that I’m not sharing my feelings with anyone ever again, and it’ll somehow still be a mystery to everyone why I eventually eat a bullet for breakfast.

I've found strength in church related activties, as they tend to attract strong men who share masculine identities. Hobby groups, sports etc. Don't let the woke isolate you.

The feels

Not to push feminist rhetoric, but if yo bros ain't gonna take you in, you might want to be a bit more selfish in your choosing of friends.

You can cry, nobody will dismiss it anymore, it’s 2024 guy, men can be emotional and people care. Men can cry, men can receive mental assistance. Look at the comments in this literal post. There’s people who care right there. Naa, at this point, this loneliness thing is self imposed. There are many support resources available for you if you’re struggling. Let yourself reach out and find assistance, it does exist. The alpha mindset tends to judge a man on reaching out, not the lack of those individuals who care.
