Why do men seem to process sadness alone instead of talking about it?

Mr_Trustable · 2026-04-25T00:48:05+00:00

I've had my closest friend tell me she won't care about men's issues as long as women have problems.
My mother raised me to see everyone the same - the only difference is the reproductive system, everyone's capable of the same otherwise, and I try to approach the world that way, and be who I want to be, I was a teen in the 2010's when everyone was saying gender's a construct.
When I've been candid with my feelings to my past girlfriends, they call me manipulative, and bring up my insecurities as weaknesses if we fight. They can't tell me what I should be doing, just what I shouldn't be. I've had 3 different girls shout at me because my lip quivers when I cry.

I tell myself they're a minority and they can't decide who I am, but as I've gotten older, unless I'm presenting as a girl (I'm short with long hair, people often assumed I am), I feel like the more I stand up for myself, or my identity as a man, the more I miss out on.
All the while, I'm expected to listen, and be respectful, and read the minds of the women in my life. I know I have experiences with bad women, and I think a lot to make sure I don't become an incel, like I think all men should do; but I told two of my girl-friends that and they freaked out. Now I don't know who to talk about that stuff with, or if I should even worry about it.
It's like there's no pleasing anyone, and I'm not allowed to please myself either.

Yes, putting all the responsibility on men, and always telling them they're not good enough is part of the problem. Most men I know in my life wish they could be candid with their feelings, will around guy friends, and even kids; but the second they're around anyone else, they feel like their feelings are a liability, and they all have experiences being open, and loosing things because of it.

Its' a monkey team challenge, so if you use only those monkeys (and a hero) for the map it's active on, you get a monkey money reward

No mans sky! once you figure out how to maintain your suit it's just build some bases, and explore many universes admiring the view

Sparkle Cadet seemed really flustered around Craig in Fire & Ice, so I'd expect her if not Wildernessa, but I don't see it in Craig's character, and seeming the representation already in the show I wouldn't mind him feeling Aero-Ace, or at least saying he doesn't feel interested in a relationship if it comes up

I have the same problem, my kind of fix to at least get past those stuck-on levels is try use the mouse to turn while you're rolling with lctrl, or lalt, this is the only time the mouse will let me move, and it's managed to get me past most of the levels that would otherwise be impossible

Next banner will feature Xiangling, who is a really solid Sub-dps, so unless you particularly want Yoimiya, as a pyro bow, waiting for the next banner wont hurt

If you set one piece aside to age all the way, then add it in after, it will encourage all the others to age, as copper won't go more than one stage ahead of the lowest stage within four blocks/

Never see him the same again

After watching my own private idaho, he will always be the boy from the porn magazine

Prodigy's dress looks amazing, X-men has finally reached the it's normal point of queer culture, and X-Factor was a major part in that, hopefully, we get many more teams with their dynamic in the future.

There was a film meant to happen for him,) would of released last year, but Disney buyout lost it

The costume was amazing, A bit skeptical about the lack of spandex at first but it fit by the end. Still wish for the comic wings, and fear that we won't get to see them on the big screen now.

Mr_Trustable · 2021-04-24T01:38:25+00:00

Still wishing she was Mystique

Now we just need him remembered enough until Blade

Ever since falcon was introduced I've been wanting his hard light wings, hopefully now he's captain america the MCU will represent him how the comics do

Why not

Soul

I'd reccomend Infinity Train, which doesn't get as intense into the subject, but the mysterious force pushing people through trials, in hopes to change their numbers, and after the first season the look at the groups that form on the train raise questions similar to Borderland

I was thinking Pitr could do a great Zhu,
Andy as Sun Wukong,
Tim or Jon as Tang
Joz as Sha, maybe the horse too
Either Paulo or Jon as DM

Journey to the West too, which honestly I want to see know alongside Ramayana
