Why Men Hurt

2.) Lacking a supportive circle

Not many men have safe zones where they can discuss their emotions. Their feelings of insecurity, or inadequacy for fear that they’ll be looked at as weak or one who can’t handle his business. There’s a false sense of bravado that must be displayed and that’s even with our closest male family members, fathers, uncles, and cousins. “Boy, women come a dime a dozen every sunny day, don’t waste your time being upset over one when there are tons more out there.” I remember when I was in a funk over a relationship, my younger brother looked at me with that look. He couldn’t have been more than 15 but he was saying “pull yourself together for God’s sakes.” With that lack of our “waiting to exhale” crew we can easily slip into hiding those emotions and suppressing our feelings which doesn’t allow us to deal with the situation at hand.
