'Manxiety' is a rising problem and blokes are failing to talk about their emotions

Whether it’s down to a fear of looking weak or an inability to express emotions, when it comes to mental health , men bottle up their feelings far more than women.

And, sadly, this can make things even worse for them. Stephen Buckley, from mental health charity Mind, says: “Women may talk more openly about their feelings and turn to friends and family for support, whereas men may find other ways to unwind, like watching TV or using drugs or alcohol.

The idea that ‘real men don’t cry’ can stop men accessing help.”

Mind’s findings show that almost a third of men would feel embarrassed seeking help.

It’s how we roll.

Men who show emotion are ridiculed as wimps, misogynic or sent to anger management.

The operative word in the above statement is “CAN’.

Men ARE different than woman and the majority do just fine wothout “sharing”.

Maybe they can make a pill for us. Got one for everything else.

[left that other site]

hahahahahaha!

[Kudsman]

True. I find shooting stuff works great for clearing bad juju thoughts.

Ping!

They are wimps. What they need to do is to suck it up, take action and move on.

[LouAvul]

I thought the metrosexuals/millennials/transexuals/transgenders had remedied that. Where’s the whiny little girly boy who cried about brittany spears?

Any of the emotions a man might seasonably have in the modern western world are considered racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, or “rapey.”

Especially in the UK.

“... inability to express emotions...”

Men, after thinking about some problem, realize that most emotions won’t help solve the problem.

In fact, when we let emotions come forth is when we are least valuable as problem solvers, but most prone to irrational actions.

A little emotional restraint training would be good for women, too.

Ya mad, Bro?

I'll go hit the batting cage.

Not quite as much fun, but a whole lot cheaper.

[Billthedrill]

All right, I gotta get something off my chest. I wuz shooting my new Kimber Micro Nine, which is a little bitty guy, and somebody asked me why I chose that gun and I said that I'm just trying to compensate for my enormous penis and then they started laughing and dang it, my feelings were hurt! I've been bottling it up inside.

Thanks for listening.

Vicki Grimshaw telling men what they need to do.

Imagine a guy telling women what they need to do.
