I wish you all the best that you can find someone to talk to about this
What a way of saying, “the systemic societal misandry you observe is all in your imagination.” Sweet gaslighting, there.
Ok, let me try again, a few questions that may better explain what I was trying to get at:
Do you feel that your emotions are actively being suppressed by some "other" or do you feel angry that you were never provided the tools to do so in the first place?
What 'place' do you feel is missing from society for you to vent your frustrations in?
if you have emotions or opinions that you feel you cannot express in public, have you tried looking for a place to express them?
How is your mental\physical health in other ways, are there peers that you can talk to or socialise with?
I'm not asking for you to reply to answers for these questions, these are deeply personal. What I am trying to get at is if you don't think you can talk about your emotions, you need to start working out a way to talk about your emotions before they fester and turn toxic.
Yes I was a little short in my comment, but I don't know you and I don't know your context. If you don't have any family or friends that you can talk about your emotions with, that's not the whole world telling you that you aren't allowed to have emotions. You need an outlet. I need an outlet. I have OCD, anxiety, and anger issues. The thing that makes these things bearable is having people to talk to about them. If you feel you can't, or do not have the means to go to therapy fine, that sucks and you need other people who do care. If no one is asking you "how are you" with any care about the response, fine, I'll do it.
No judgement. No criticism. No hate. Just a sounding board if you feel like you truly have no one to talk to about this. DM me. @Octospider@lemm.ee @rekabis@lemmy.ca how are you doing?
What a backhanded thing to say. I refer to the general issues men are facing as a group, and you snidely judge us as having personal issues with such self-assuredness that you are morally right in doing so. You come across as arrogant and condescending. Men, as a group, are not doing well on many different metrics. That does not mean that every specific man is not doing well, or that I am not doing well. So, here’s some unsolicited advice, since you are keen on giving it to others – Don’t give people unsolicited advice, and kindly don't mention me again.
