With whom do you share your problems?

Get more male friends. Join a flag football league or something male oriented. Guys are the only people that have the same problems as you (frame-wise and respect-wise).

Obviously it takes a while to build a trusting relationship with anyone, including men. Be sure to find safe people that aren't going to blab about your problems to others.

No one. I just channel it through weightlifting and it actually makes me happier.

If the bad place you are in involves drugs or alcohol then you will find 12-step programs (especially AA) to be an excellent way to find real people you can talk to about your problems.

Honestly keeping things to yourself is the best bet. The less people know about you the better.

A counter-intuitive approach is talking with people who are not close to you. For example guys or women you see a lot at your favorite bar, but dont consider as friends.

People who dont know you often find it interesting and also easy to talk about issues you have because they aren't emotionally invested and just find it interesting to listen to what issues an almost-stranger deals with.

Tried and tested.

The quickest way to kill a ladyboner is to unload your problems on a woman, even one who professes to offer you a 'shoulder to cry on'. Women like to see men as their rock - the solid piece of wind-sculpted granite that can shrug off the minor problems of the world and withstand their battering waves of shit-storms.

Get a routine together, whether it's exercise or hiking or a hobby. Something you can look forward to that will allow you the space to reflect and decompress.

My brother. Dude is around my age and remains alpha as fuck even tho hes married. His wife works hes takes care of the kids and he still calls all the shots.she works for his attention. I go to to him and he tells me what I need to hear.

females give horrible advice in general. You need to go to a man who you know is up on his game and can tell you where you fucking up.

A social worker / psychologist. Safe place to vent, a good soundboard to just voice whatever you need to. No judgements, no loss of frame.
