OUR BROTHERS TAKING THE FIRST STEP OF COMING OUT OFF THE BOX….WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE, MENTIONING THAT THERAPY IS ONE OF THE GREATEST HELP:👇👇
The phrase has two sides to the coin, viz; one side which is so detrimental to men and boys mental health and the other being their source of strength.
Let me elaborate further, the first one, it kills your self-esteem. We are told we shouldn't show our emotions. We shouldn't cry because of that phrase, but inside, we are dying. Moreover, we become heartless with emotions bottled inside. On the other hand, it builds character, we want to prove to people that what they did to you wasn't anything. I think the times of that phrase in this day and age don't apply. We aren't built like the old generation.
To be honest, the phrase had killed my self-esteem, my thoughts were suppressed, my hurt was shifted under a rug
I do both depending on the situation but I tend to do the crying more often. Bottled emotions are dangerous.
After crying I felt so much better.
They should open up, talk to other men, do therapy. Therapy helps.
