For far too long, society has placed the burden of being strong and emotionless on men. As a result, many men feel that they can't express their feelings or talk about their struggles without being judged or ridiculed. But the truth is, it's important for men to talk about their feelings in order to maintain good mental health and build strong relationships with others.
So let's break the stigma and encourage men to open up about their emotions. Whether it's to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional, talking about your feelings can help you gain perspective, release pent-up emotions, and feel less alone in your struggles.
To all the men out there: your feelings matter, and you deserve to be heard. Don't be afraid to speak up and seek support when you need it. Let's change the narrative and create a more accepting and compassionate world for everyone.
The Men’s Mental Health Series is a podcast where men discuss how emotions were presented to them growing up and how their perceptions around feelings have changed over time. Please listen for yourself or for the men in your life. These are the conversations we need to have with the people “not just men 😉” in our lives.
