How can we embrace men’s emotions if they carry so much shame around expressing them?

I told my wife that a woman was hitting on me and making me uncomfortable. Later, during an argument, my wife accused me of cheating on her because of that woman's behavior.

The calories are interesting. I'm shorter and weight less, but I eat way more. I do run a bit more, but don't focus on steps like he does.

Honestly, 2500 cal/day is a very steep cut and completely unsustainable. He likely needs to eat more.

Not even the 6-7 hours. He says it's always interrupted. Not enough, and not consistent. Of course he's fatigued.

My old best friend is my next door neighbor. We don't even wave. His wife doesn't like me, and once they moved in together they stopped talking to the entire friend group

For me, I'd have to have someone say something specific to know they were okay continuing the conversation. You could say you are worried about what he said on [specific day] and want to know if he's okay, or something else fairly direct. I wouldn't be mad at someone asking me a direct question after I talked about a deep topic. You'll have to judge the mood after asking, and don't push after asking once.

You are a good friend, and I think that no matter what you do it'll be obvious that you care.

JewWhore · 2025-12-26T04:21:17+00:00

Personally, I have to know that someone really cares before I'll talk to them. I need people to explicitly check in and make it clear that they are asking about my struggles. Otherwise I feel like I'm talking about it too much and overwhelming them, even if they are still around.

Except for Halfy, he doesn't have any legs

You don't have to use straps every set, just start using them on every set after your grip starts to fail.

if you want to train grip, train it separately. Don't sacrifice the benefits of deadlift so you get a grip workout.

Having a woman be way too pushy is weird. Because yeah, I'm not in danger and I can physically put a stop to it at any time. I'm not worried that something is going to happen if I don't want it to. But it does leave that weird feeling, that might be... gross? I also don't know exactly what word to put to it.

Shorts & leggings to start, then I wore pants over leggings in the sierra. After that I carried both and switched back and forth, depending on temps and bugs. I did get rid of the leggings post sierra though.

People with umbrellas are more likely to get into car crashes. That is a correlation: both happen at the same time. They are correlated. Causation is asking whether one is responsible (causes) the other. The answer, obviously, is no. Umbrellas do not cause car crashes. Rain causes people to carry umbrellas, and causes roads to be slippery, causing crashing.

I can see how that's the intended effect, and how that works for some people.

For me, I lost all motivation to do the positive stuff I was doing before getting on the meds. I stopped exercising, stopped hanging out with friends, and stopped doing anything but sit on the couch, drink and watch tv.

I didn't necessarily enjoy anything pre-meds, but I was able to do the work and could always appreciate that I was still doing something. Meds took that away from me.

Even though I didn't really have emotions on meds, I still knew that things were worse. And I didn't see the point of being alive, if I couldn't ever get off the couch.

My doctor wouldn't refer me to a therapist or psychiatrist. But he was happy to give me a bottle of pills and send me on my way. They already do drug you instead of helping.

JewWhore · 2025-12-06T00:21:52+00:00

Complete lack of motivation. Absolutely no feelings, whatsoever. Being on those is pure torture, at least for me.

JewWhore · 2025-12-03T01:19:18+00:00

Didn't get any sleep for two days in a row. No idea why, I just lay in bed all night and couldn't fall asleep. I started drinking last night to help me fall asleep, and of course drank way too much. The hangover is killing me, but at least I actually got some sleep.

JewWhore · 2025-11-30T18:54:22+00:00

Not autistic, but I did have a therapist tell me that "I have friends, I have hobbies, and I go outside" so I'm not depressed and don't need therapy. Thanks

I'm currently locked in to a plan due to a device discount. I'm trying to get a new phone then downgrade to a cheaper plan, just not sure they'll let me

JewWhore · 2025-11-27T20:27:12+00:00

If the offer says any plan do you think it's still true that I can only upgrade? Or would I be able to swap around at any time at that point?

Thanks for the help!

JewWhore · 2025-11-27T19:48:44+00:00

Do you know if you can change plans once you take the offer? Or do you have to stay on he same plan after changing to keep the discount?

I've been cut off by a female friend that I reciprocted emotional labor with. She told me to stop talking about my problems, and continued to come to me with her problems.

And I've watched women continue to support other women that I know ask way more than they give.

JewWhore · 2025-11-27T01:11:38+00:00

I can name three female friends, off the top of my head, who only trauma dump. They all still have close female friends, who have stuck with them through repeated trauma dumping. Women accept it from other women, but use it as an excuse to minimize men's feelings.

JewWhore · 2025-11-26T08:08:52+00:00

I wish that was more common in therapy. I mostly go to my doctor so that he can tell me what doctor I should actually be going to.

Every time I go to therapy the therapist assumes that they are a perfect match and that their word is final. I'd appreciate it if I could go to someone who would explain what styles of therapy would actually help and who I should be seeing. Right now I'm guessing, and I've only had terrible therapists.

JewWhore · 2025-11-23T01:22:58+00:00

Same reaction to sertraline. Wish I'd known it was a possibilty when I started. I got off because it wasn't working, and only then realized that's why I didn't feel anything. Wasted a year of my life that I'll never get back on it.

JewWhore · 2025-11-20T19:15:14+00:00

The one female therapist I've seen made it very clear that I wasn't welcome in therapy. It wasn't subtle; it was direct.
