It is women who call men oversensitive. Most damage is done by women that a man opens up to and she uses it against him... Every man has that story.

[@MrsRealistic]

I've heard that from other men as well. For my husband it was his dad who told him boys don't cry or you're a pussy. He said he would send him to school in a dress if he didn't defend himself against a bully since he was acting like a girl. He's never said he had that experience with women, but he was always the kind of guy who women chased and he controlled most of the relationships. Everyone has a different experience I suppose. I was just sharing what I had heard from him. God bless 🙏

[@bretmannix304]

@@MrsRealistic I'm sorry for your husband, but that is the exception, not the rule. Most men are damaged by women. Most men don't learn to be men by the lack of a father.

[@paulstewart9639]

@@MrsRealisticThat’s horrible what your husband went through. As a father of young men, I had the responsibility of trying to teach them how to survive in this hard cruel world. I feel everything in this song because it’s true. I would be a failure of a father if I didn’t prepare them for this reality. Unfortunately the world doesn’t care about men or our feelings, and it mostly comes from women. Nobody is harder on men than the women in their lives.

[@MrsRealistic]

@paulstewart9639 I can totally see that...especially in this day and age where women seem to be more and more selfish and all about "living your best life".

[@P_Barne_II]

I know what you mean. I am a single guy who stays weeeeeell away from women after what I have been through. 2 days ago I was holding my feelings and pain from my best friend. We never held back how bad things have been in our lives. A friend I made on youtube contacted me and we spoke on email for sold 6hrs. I told her what is going on in my life, I am looking for solutions at the bottom of Vodka bottle and how bad things are for me. By talking to her, I decided to be honest with my best friend and tell him what is going on in my life. I feel better enough to continue till things start to change. You just need to be heard. You will find your solution(s) yourself cos that's what we (men) are good at. We find solutions and we resolve problems. You do want to let it out. I'm a professional NLP consultant and I listen/read more than words. What you need is someone you can talk to and not feel vunerable. Have a look at online, one to one support. I don't know which country you live in but here in the UK, we have organisations you can email to if you don't want to put yourself out there.

I'd like to point out that men dont cry not because we are told it's not ok, but because we have learned no one is listening unless we are angry. We only feel sadness. We only express anger. I'd also like to add that there is no help for men. Therapy is geared for and designed for profit. Thus it caters to those who will seek it most often.

[@justinl9677]

Anger is how men cry

[@brentsalrin1804]

Exactly this. It’s not fathers who teach their sons to hold it in. It is learned from women. How women treat us. How my mother treated my dad. How every woman I’ve ever dated would want me to open up. And EVERY time I did. It would either get used against me in an argument later or she would just break up with me. That’s why I almost killed myself after my dog died a few months ago. He was the only thing that I knew loved me unconditionally and I couldn’t even cry when he died.

Been with my wife since I was 18, got 3 beautiful daughters and 7 grandkids. They never gave up on me even when I did, even when I raged at them to just go away and let me go. I have stuffed so much down, bottled it up and buried it. This song opened up the places I was hiding, helped me to finally face the self I was hiding. Helped me share my load so it doesn't break my back. I've shared it with my daughter's so they can better understand what the men in their lives are going through.

[@15rlinton]

I never saw my dad cry growing up, and i think that subconsciously made me feel like crying was a sign of weakness. Once i grew up and attempted to open up in relationships showing emotions changed every single relationship i have been in, what i opened up about was eventually used against me, and used to bring me down at a time i needed someone there for me.. ive tried opening up to the women in my life, its never helped me out. Bottle it up, push it down and keep grinding. I now work on a way to show my son that his emotions will mean something to the right person/people in his life, and if they arent taken seriously then those people do not deserve a spot in his life.

Same here man. Except I have never met my dad. Everytime I've opened up it was used to try strip me of my masculinity and box me in to control me.

I can’t stop working or my family doesn’t eat. I have wanted to end it more times in the past 5 years than I can count but my children always bring me back to earth and I keep pushing on.

At 7:18, I think its important to mention that although some fathers might teach men its not okay to be emotional, a big reason men continue to resist showing emotion later in life is that there are many women that continue to enforce that idea. Thank you for reacting to this!

[@MrsRealistic]

That's a great point! I've heard other men say this as well. My husband said his dad told him not to cry or be a wuss. But I know of plenty of men who have commented that it was their mother or women in their lives who told them to "man up". 😪

It's bigger than men not being able to express their emotions. It's the social exploitation of manhood that drowns men into the deep sea of loneliness. I think a bigger part of the 'therapy' lies in society understanding the protective role of manhood and appreciating it rather than abusing it.

I was too afraid to admit that I needed help, so my anger just kept getting worse and worse until last week I had an outburst and said a lot of really horrible things and she couldn't hear it anymore. I created this channel as a vlog to show my journey from loss to hopefully getting her and my kids back. I have to go to therapy and anger management for sure. It's time. Possibly too late in fact...

I couldn’t be prouder, my only regret is that my Dad wasn’t here to see the amazing person I raised! I’ve turned my boy on to this song because nothing I’ve found says it better. Peace and love!

[@MrsRealistic]

You're a good man who I'm sure he's proud of... looking down on you every day. God bless you my friend!

[@ballius80]

I am proud to say I have a wife that builds me up. Christ has my foundations set The word has brought me through the death of a child and my girl my lady the love of my life is always right there. There is a time for quiet achievement and a time to let the heart bleed and cry when you need to. My dad died when I was a baby my mother knew nothing but tears fear and anger and I grew up wielding those feelings like my sword and shield. I met my wife and she never made me drop my armour she helped me to use it in the right way! This song has me in tears pulling back painful memories that have made me who I am.

You married a good one! God Bless you both!

I feel Phix hard in this song. My gun was a bottle of pills, but the end goal was the same. I'm an alcoholic and I was still drinking at the time. I felt like everyone would have been better when I was gone. My best friend saved my life. She walked in just at the right time and swatted the pills out of my hand. She told me to suck it up and stop being so damn proud and get help or she would have to go. That was what I needed.

I'm 65 years old. , I'm a Black man a Father and a Grandfather. I've been through a lot in life., I remember when my wife passed I had no one to talk to, I'm also a veterans. So I when to the Veterans Administration to speak to a Psychiatrist and all he wanted to do was give me medication?. I talk more to his secretary than I did with him while I was waiting on him. Meaning it's hard for men to find someone to talk to. I say that because that wasn't the only place I when to with the same results. No one is telling us everything is going to be okay.

This hit me in the feels HARD. I actually lost my husband back in 2020 from a tragic accident. He went for a walk after we had an argument and was hit by a vehicle. He was one who loved hard and was sometimes afraid to show his emotions, because I would sometimes tell him to stop! I took him for granted the last few years of our 20 years together and I hate myself for that. I would give anything to have him here to truly show him the love and support he deserved. So, ladies make sure to love and support your man today, because no one is promised tomorrow.

I'm so sorry for your loss! My husband almost died from Mono last July. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced. Our children were so scared as well.

Something to think about.... in every "story" we get told as kids, when we're small and trying to figure out how to fit in this big world... "A Hero Saves the Day"... we're taught from nursery rymes and disney movies and kids storys that the hero is always the big strong silent type that does what has to be done, right wrong or indifferent... Ghaston doesnt have feelings, Prince Charming doesnt have feelings, they're just big and tough and never have to cry... ... then we turn to our parents, who deal with things that are SUPER Scarry to us as kids, and just brush it off... Not because theres any ill intent but because as adults we understand how to overcome hurdles in life with confidence, ... so, yes, there has been plenty of "bad parents" who screw their kids minds up... but in this case, i dont think that EVERY kid/now man came from a screwed up family... we grew up with hero's that never had to express emotion... so some of us dont know how to.. and asking for HELP, meens admitting to yourself and someone else that you dont "have life all figured out" ... and that can really rock a persons confidence, especially when times ARE tough...

When the song came out I sent it to my wife to try and help her understand how I was feeling. She never listened to it. We are now getting divorced and that along with a sick mother and a sister who is a triple amputee stretches me emotionally.

Father of 6, 3 step kids 3 of my own. Oldest 21 youngest 10. At 36 I became a truck driver to try and make enough to provide. Bury my feelings on a daily and do what I can. Most days I’m alone. Opening up gets shut down immediately with selfish reflection. “What do you think I’m going through?” Is all I get when I try to express my feelings. Makes a man feel cold, dark, and alone…. Not easy but still breathing.
