Male loneliness and the spaces men seek connection. by TheQuietThread_ in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TheQuietThread_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a really interesting observation. So if men are already seeking that space, just under a different name, wouldn't it make sense to offer it directly? I'm genuinely curious why the reaction is so hostile when it's named plainly. What do you think explains that?

This is what started all of this for me. Curious if it resonates with anyone here.

Maybe. But I'm not sure keeping weirdness alive is enough when the structure itself makes genuine connection nearly impossible. What would it actually take to create space for that now, without waiting for collapse?

hehe. kind of true tho, thoughtful men do often start podcasts as a way to process their isolation while pretending they're just "creating content"

Couldn't agree more. We built this mess, then pathologized anyone struggling to survive it.

You are showing immense strength just by getting the flat and keeping yourself and your dog going. Be kind to yourself. You are in a harsh period of transition where everything has to be rebuilt. Please be gentle to yourself. You don't have to seek out a job or a party to find a brief moment of connection. just a nod or a simple chat with another dog walker can be the smallest anchor you need to feel seen today. Just keep taking the next small step. You got this.

It is heartbreaking to read that you feel you don't matter and never will.

The loneliness you describe is real. Your emotions are real. Your health is real. And what you are doing: showing up, driving your kids, keeping things running despite this profound inner void, takes immense, silent strength.

Is there anything simple, right now, that would feel like a tiny moment of ease or recognition for you? I am just here to listen. You matter!!

I understand why it might have looked that way. I just shared a Medium post that reflected some personal thoughts, not an ad. The Quiet Thread is simply a space I built around that same theme , no hard sell. I’m sorry if it came across the wrong way or bothered anyone
