    Being with my guy friends.

    I know that by and large when it comes to my emotions to say nothing of my actual insecurities and vulnerabilities I can confide in them without risk of it going off in my face like a grenade. I’ve known some of them for most of my life. When I say I’m comfortable telling them anything I mean it, they wouldn’t be my friends if they didn’t earn that level of trust.

    Not having my emotions pointed out to everyone in the room. Being allowed to feel them with out feeling like I’m being made fun of for them.

    I make myself feel emotionally safe. I make efforts to improve my physical health and I manage how much I engage or avoid things that could deteriorate my mental health (be it people, obligations, media content etc).

    Tbh, I don’t really think that an adult can outsource that. There are certainly external factors but those seem secondary to me.

    With close male friends. Hear me out, there is never any judgement on semantics if you’re telling a story or an experience. You don’t need to choose your word carefully for fear of offending or judgement of others. Usually you can be yourself say what you feel and most times offer their perspective.
