As men, there is often an unspoken pressure to deal with everything alone.
It can be tricky to talk about struggling as a man.
We live in a time where there is a negative stigma around openly sharing emotions and insecurities. While we are seemingly encouraged to do so, for many of us it has resulted in experiencing judgment, ridicule, abandonment, or a breakdown in trust when we’ve tried to open up.
Over time, that creates hesitation and detachment.
The strength it takes to be vulnerable is often overlooked, so it can feel easier to remain closed off and deal with things quietly. Often battling with the fact that nobody really knows us or can see what we are experiencing.
