I have severe anxiety due to being physically abused and abandoned as a child. I know I’m not as resilient around bullies or people who try to take advantage of me (I tend to retreat into my shell, freeze up). I have had many people in my life who have been empathetic (mostly other men, some women), but it’s been a struggle at work and in my relationships because I’m not behaving in a traditional “manly” way. Ive been in therapy for years and have gotten to a point where I feel like I can verbalize what I am going through and when to seek help, but it’s still hard. Just curious what other men have gone through and how they’ve coped. submitted by /u/Throwra-kink
