I know it has no direct correlation to your statement. I’m raising 2 boys so I am teaching them that crying is not a bad thing and also don’t be mean to someone you like.

women who enforce toxic masculinity are just as bad as the men who do the same ;-;

I think it’s also on the girl for not being mature enough to realize men have emotions too, but as long as it’s healthy regulated emotions yk

Part of it still depends on what he's crying about though right? Like if he was crying over stepping on an ant vs him confessing something that he feels about you

pretty much exactly how i was raised. dad always told me that i could groan and complain but as long as I did the job he didn’t care. eventually you just learn to suck it up and shut up because it wastes energy. it’s worked ever since.

Having avoidant attachment issues is not good for the individual with them either. You’re not doing boys any favors by teaching them to not show their emotions and keep them bottled up inside instead.

Sure I guess? But like i don’t know a single man who cries over ants or stupid shit like that

There’s a difference between knowing when to get upset/work ethic and feeling your emotions

It’s the other way around you just aren’t smart enough to understand that avoidant attachment issues extended to every aspect of life not just relationships

I’m not smart enough? Coming from the ones that’s insulting someone just to get their point across.. not a very intelligent response. You’re just wrong and talking how you perceive reality

I mean I was given similar advice and I didn't interpret it as "don't show emotion"

Because I don’t really think the reason men cry is relevant what I said in my original comment

my point was more so that I was taught to not let my emotions get in the way of what needed to be done. that doesn’t just include a specific job/task. it can also mean a relationship where i’m being treated poorly if that makes sense

sounds like u might be the reason

Interpret? No. This was what was taught to me. As a man we aren’t allowed to show emotion. If emotion was shown then I’d get beat. God I can’t wait to have kids so I can give them all the love I was never given and prove to everyone I won’t treat my kids the way I was treated.

men who refuse to show weakness aren’t strong, simply afraid of the truth. only by confronting your faults head-on can you overcome them. in many cases, the first step is embracing your emotions, since that’s how you move on from them.

Emotional men don’t belong in this world. Those are the same men that cross dress. Truly disgusting creatures.

are they men or robots? humans are built for emotion, in case you forgot. unfortunately, men like you only learn to express through anger or apathetic disdain, which is likely why you keep insulting trans people despite no one mentioning them. I know it’s unrealistic, but I hope you become strong enough to go to therapy.

Men are supposed to be strong. Men that want to be women are the reason men aren’t MEN anymore.
