I used to… something i recommend is meditation. Meditation and asking yourself questions that challenge the way you think . Its all about perspective… your mind is your mind so you have to learn how to utilize at a high level. If remain stagnant, youll feel like your locked behind a certain way of thinking. Find new hobbies, new friends, new exercises, new experiences in general. Life is about growth. I wish ya the best n keep yall heads up

I find myself wanting to tell people what’s in my head, but I guess subconsciously I fear they will view me differently or just choose to no longer interact with me, maybe they won’t understand. As a man we feel forced to keep everything bottled up. It’s pretty wild tbh

Exactly, I lost a few friends bc of opening up too much. It hurts to this day bc I miss them and it’s hard to trust anyone now

Felt that. I have always been against therapy but my job provided some and I tried it and it was actually kinda nice to be heard. Then they stopped taking the insurance and told me I have to find a new therapy place, I was like dude no way, I didn’t wanna have to go and start all over again 😂 so back to square one

I think they just stopped accepting insurance. I was gonna start over somewhere new but man I didn’t wanna have to repeat everything I said to the first person, lol. 😂 I used to make music I might go back to that. Always easy to express through some type of art
