@Emotionally_Mature

We were told to "suck it up, Be a man, Real men don't cry, Stop being a punk," etc. 

Not realizing that men are also humans with tear ducts and emotions, too. 

If we have a safe space within our relationships to release those emotional pressures with, then we'll be sooooo much more powerful, stronger, & helpful to our partners,  families, & the world around us. Everyone needs to have someone they can express vulnerability with, without judgment. Not just women.

@Sundown_23

If we don't have someone to open up to we fall into anger.

@americasariesson1862

I have tried showing feelings like that - and have literally seen the look of disgust and experienced the fall from grace as respect was instantly yanked away. You wanna talk about shame….nothing feels worse than that.

@KrystalHerron-o6t

As a woman... Eye opening. I love EVERY single part of my man. 17 years and I'm just seeing his real self. It's worth every minute of work for him. I just need to STFU and listen when he speaks. Sorry to all men. ❤

@Eddie03220

This month is men's mental health month....

Still, no one cares and I'm done being vulnerable, I was put through hell with the last one I dated.  I'm tired, alone, worn out, hurt, and I'm done trying to find someone...

@有

Men face challenges when it comes to showing vulnerability, but it's important for mental health.

@NatalieBella23

It’s so sad that man have been programmed to be silent I am a women and I have more testosterone than normal and I know what it feels like to feel silenced I never used to think it was because I was more masculine but I’ve recently realised that is probably why an it’s not a nice place to be in when you feel like you better to be silent I’ve done it most of my life but since I’ve for older I’ve realised why

@Justabigloser

No man has ever broken the top 20 of people in my life who hurt me

@sinapm5724

wow beautifully said

@irfangumelar5404

I glad that the woman she was talking about is my mom :)

@classyjohn1923

Men NEED to be able to be vulnerable to someone else who is willing to listen.  You have to understand that this is important!

@TheScriptPunk

Men are showing vulnerability at times. But not to women. To their close friends though.

@Kosttaa

Men are vulnerable. We just need real answers, meaning,and motivation. Once it goes inward. You don’t like us.

@deehitch265

So after all that, the only takeaway was, women who give men basic empathy do incredable work. Convenient that.

@gillian-n2s

During the 1980s, I had mental health issues. I used to hear all the time from feminist counsellors and the media, words like "male ego." (The word "toxic" wasn't thrown around so much then).  

Meanwhile, women were offered counselling and assertiveness classes.

It took me a long time to see through the mirage... poor women victims bla bla...

But I did get past the lies...
Now, I pray every day for men who have been disenfranchised by this toxic system. 

I pray God will heal their hearts and draw them to Himself. That they will learn their true identity in Jesus Christ as they seek salvation. In Jesus' name 🙏

@TKBarnes

Every time I showed vulnerability to a woman in my life, except my mum, I was told to "man up" or the like.
If not, then it was thrown in my face as ammo.
I am now single and I will die single bevause the idea of trustong another human being with my mental welfare is more terrifying to me than the pain before i kill myself.

@eramzehra7093

I don't know why I have been living my life like a man.

@benjamingbevans905

It's to easy for people to just say stuff put you in a position and then go look see what I mean ,they don't see the hurt the events leading to wear you are ,just what they think they see and what's been said manipulated around them It feels like we live in a wold fool of fools that just look at what they have been told ,if you care your Wong if you don't your horrible ever way you can't win ,
It's good to have an opinion but with an open mind .

@BladeFitAcademy

Men, don't give them the power to stomp your heart. Love them, live for them, even bleed and sacrifice for them. But you must do those things because you are a man, not because you want Mommy's approval.

 Never let them be your mommy. You can speak of disappointments and hardships, but don't speak of your fears to your ladies. You've grown and you need other men. If you open up to your woman and your daughters about your fears they get very truly scared. Spare them this fear - find a club filled with men you can recharge your batteries with instead.

This is the way.
