Original Reddit post

I was surfing Reddit the other day, and there were a post from r/GuysBeingDudes showing up basically saying that unlike women, men have nowhere and nothing else to come to to vent their feelings out, men are all alone and have to deal with their feelings on their own, all alone. The comments section is full of men who shared the same sentimental too, that men are all alone and expected to get tough for themselves. I don’t know man, while I understand and obviously see the social expectation for men to be strong and stuffs, I don’t know if the loneliness and aloneness they spoke about was really because of they being men and by nature must be so, or was it because of their poor or lack of social skills and emotional communication skills. I’m a grown ass man, I have friends to vent and talking about my problems to easily, I find it easy to talk about my feelings to people, I have bros who we easily talk about what’s going on in our lives. Maybe I don’t live in the West where the culture is different, but I wonder if it’s really in nature of men to be lonely or all alone, or they blame it on being men for their unwillingness to be vulnerable and being bad at emotional communication skills? submitted by /u/Hour-Tomato-645
