It’s important to show up for guys, too. It can be harder for them to even admit what they’re feeling. nostr:note1kzkxwv568zuevvvdaamls8kh573jgstxq22fez0qr8ag90qqee4q03mfgt

I'm either content or angry, there really isn't anything in between. I love people, but I really have a hard time being empathetic towards people who are 'sad' for what I perceive as not a valid reason. I know that telling them to stop being sad or feeling bad for themselves is insensitive, but I can't understand how people stay in that state.
It’s learning to understand that they aren’t always choosing to stay in that state. In some cases yes, you can change things in your life to be better and get out of the slump you may be in but in other cases DEPRESSION isn’t always black and white and a person can’t just turn it off.
I think most men don't admit it. They may admit it to the closest person in their life, but even then, most men have been taught to hold onto their emotions.
It's not about people not showing up for them—people will show up. It's about men expressing how they feel and knowing it's okay to feel that way.
