Today’s the last day of men’s mental health month. As a therapist, I see men struggle not because they’re weak, but because they’ve been taught to be invisible.
Let’s change that. Tell me what’s the one emotion you were always taught to keep invisible – no judgement.

I was told not to cry because men dont cry and if i do im weak. Now im an adult and i dont care i look weak anymore. Its ok to show emotions
Not so much an emotion, but linked to emotions. But I was taught never to display indifference.
Sadness. I show anger when im sad. Sadness is weakness
Anger
The same emotion all men get shamed for showing: loneliness
If men even hint that they want human connection, even platonic, we’re shamed for it.
And like many men I had it drilled into my head by society that wanting a girlfriend was inherently wrong. Then I got one and she turned out to be a psycho, but that’s another story
sexual frustration
Being kind.

Envy, wrath, basically the seven deadly sins
‘boys don’t cry’ is a phrase that, ironically enough, makes me want to
I don’t know about it is taught or not but most of the men’s are expected to listen rather than explaining their sides.
Whatever role they are into, they are always expected to listen to all the complaints of the world.
