I know this isn’t a question but I just wanted to say Happy Men’s Mental Health Month. Remember that all of you matter and have value. Don’t push down what you’re feeling, talk to somebody. There is someone you know who cares about you.

Nah I’m gonna bottle up my negative emotions in a very unhealthy way and then finally address them in like 10 years when I’m in a good spot in life

Coming from experience please don’t do that it just makes things worse. But yeah as a girl I sympathize for you guys cause your mental health is just as important and society places the pressure for you guys to be fine and it’s just not fair to all of you

You’re right, it’s not fair, but it’s the hand we’ve been dealt and regardless of whatever some feminists online may say about it being a product of the patriarchy and it’s our duty to change it, it won’t be changed bc this is the only way our society knows how to function

I get that. We all have wants and desires, that’s part of being human. Try to make a conscious effort though to ask him what it is what he wants for you. There have been so many things in life that I thought I wanted and prayed so hard for but didn’t get, and it’s only years later that I now see why the answer had to be no before.

To be fair, we are allowed and even asked to come to God in prayer with requests. Jesus says we have not because we ask not, meaning he wants us to ask. You could ask for more people to talk to, and thank Him for anyone in your life you have now (or for the people He’s going to send your way). Either way, He’s just glad to hear from you. Also, whoever you open up to might see you differently, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe they need someone too, and you’ll open that door
