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.

@@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".

58 years old, retired Navy, served in both Gulf Wars, 2nd one boots on the ground in the Sand Box. Came home a different person than the one that left. Made some horrible decisions, lost everything, was rebuilding then fucked up again. Did some time been rebuilding again. Taken nearly 10 years to get to a point where I'm proud of myself. 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.

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 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. Im TRYING to break a cycle! ❤❤

[@nate_the_welder]

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. My mom told me when I was in the seventh grade, she didn't want me anymore. As a result of that I have cut most people out of my life. Growing up the way I did I can't trust ANYONE.

[@duncanray6600]

Key words, the right person.

[@Xibyth]

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.

[@musicomega.]

She watches it but she doesn't understand I'm crying out for help or encouragement it's always "wow that's sad." I don't know.

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". 😪

strong hardened men on the outside are required in this tough world. I hate it but life is meant to be a struggle. some might disagree with that point but deep down it’s true.

I am 49 years old. My dad taught me to suck it up and be a man. I fought in Iraq and Afghanistan and I lost my friends. I sucked it up for many years. I broke down one day and I said it should have been me so that my wife and kids would be proud of me. I didn’t feel appreciated. When I broke down, I lost my 16 year marriage. As a man, you suck it up. Don’t ever confide anything in front of your spouse. Doing so, she loses respect and love for you because they see you as weak. That was 2015.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you for your service and God bless you my friend. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

[@xXxDarkSoulxXx]

Hey Jack, I’ve been to some of the same dark places you have. I too broke down, much as you did. I was 40, my father had passed away two years earlier. In June of my 40th year my mom passed away in my arms. After that I fell into a deep depression. My therapist explained that because I was a physically abused child, (by father not mother, she was equally physically abused by my father), after both parents had passed the cork came off the bottle in which I trapped all of my childhood trauma. This caused the depression. Because we as men don’t ask for help, confide in someone else and we keep everything inside I needed to ask for help but didn’t. My will to live was quickly drained. So one night I tried to fix everything in one fell swoop with a bottle of pills. I woke up 24 hrs later, and my immediate reaction was the most hate & anger I’d ever experienced. I was angry with the trauma team for bringing me back. Today I’m thankful for it. Less than a year later I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. In less than 18 months after that diagnosis my wife of 27 years, together 35 years, (we met when she was 16 and I was 18), decided to end our marriage. I, to this day, have never received a straight answer as to why she wanted out. I never abused her mentally, emotionally, physically, etc., and was 100% faithful. Although she had a brief fling when our kids were just a & 4. I should have divorced her right then and there, (hindsight is 20/20), but I couldn’t bear the thought of my babies going to sleep every night under a different roof than me, as well as another man coming in and living with and raising my kids. So I sucked it up and stayed. I was eventually able to forgive her but I could never forget. So here I am 6 years after my divorce, trying to live my best life, but over the last couple years I’ve grown to become very lonely. I dated for 2 years after the divorce and that just turned out to be disaster after disaster after disaster. I spent two years hacking my way through a briar patch of psycho b|tches. My ex has never dated. Claims she’s not interested in a romantic relationship with anyone. So she’s there, lonely I’m sure, and not dating. I’m being pushed by friends and family to give dating one last try, so recently I decided I would. We’ll see how it goes. But still, no real explanations as to why she wanted out. Just as it did you, this song hit hard with all the things I went through and am still going through. Good luck my friend, stay strong, you can do this.

I just watched this for the first time, I shedded a tear on the original song but to hear you narrate and listen to you and you actually get it, was lifting for me, you showed me that there are women out there that do understand, I’m currently in a situation that’s the total opposite of what this song is opening people’s eyes too and the pain is real, no friends no one to talk to and when I try to talk to my woman I’m told ur too sensitive and I provide for a whole household, she just walks away and or if we on the phone she hangs up on me, the hug part and to be told everything is gonna be okay is empowering for us men, that alone will make us make something happen in hard times, watching this my floodgates just couldn’t stop, keep doing what u r doing cause women especially need to know what we go thru and this will help them to play a better part/partner in men lives, thank you so much for this, blessings 🙏🏾

[@MrsRealistic]

You're very kind, thank you 😊 I am baffled that wives can be so callous towards the men they are supposed to love. That doesn't mean there is never conflict, but to just totally disregard your spouse's feelings is beyond bizarre to me. I'm sorry you aren't heard. I almost lost my husband last July, and it's truly made me realize how little certain things matter, and how important it is to be a team. God bless you my friend 🙏

Iron sharpens iron...amen! Even if a man has a support group, the journey is a long one and as we grow older those around us begin to reach the end of their journey and we all know that we are going to go before our wives and before our children and providing for them after we are gone...making sure the support for them to survive and prosper is in place is an ever increasing burden even as our bodies decline and our skills deteriorate...Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill...and yet we cannot stop, we cannot waver, each of us is called to give our last full measure of devotion because we love too deeply to do anything else, even if we cannot express it.

I’ve been with my 2nd wife for over 30 years, I’d be lying if I said it was all butterfly’s and balloons, it was far from that, but I have 2 beautiful children, one grown and married and my son, my precious son, he amazes me! 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!

I haven't cried in 20 years, since I was 17, when i saw ny grandfather withered from stomach cancer, I wailed deafening for an hour in the foyer of the hospital, I haven't cried since, not even at his funeral. And God knows many times i needed to, I can feel it, I get up and keep moving. Part of me loves the validation of a video like this, part of me says leave me alone, I defy you to intervene as I break, and build alone. Until the woman sang, I softened a bit. I'll keep working.

I love how some artists are able to to take thoughts that most have and present it in such a beautiful and universal way. I feel everyone should be free to express how they feel, both man and women. If only we all listened to what each other ways saying instead of allowing ourselves to be triggered by our own personal story. If anyone one reads this and feels alone just know the world NEEDS YOU. You are loved and are appreciated. Love ya's all.

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.

“Iron sharpens iron” is a great quote.

[@DanielWhite-uw6vl]

Thank you for introducing me to this, I needed it today. Growing up my dad was actually pretty open emotionally, but my mum and sister would regularly label me as over sensitive if I got upset about something, even if it was totally understandable, like when my mum threw away a stuffed toy, which was the only thing I had to remind me of my nan who had passed away. The first time I cried in front of a woman that wasn't in my family was an early girlfriend who laughed at me, and the next week cheated on me. I learnt quickly that my only value was in providing things, and my emotions were not necessary. This led to a lot of anger issues, and me falling into abusive relationships. Thankfully, that part of me knows how to protect me in a better way now, and I have a wonderful wife and daughter now, who support me more than anyone in my life has before

[@MrsRealistic]

I'm so glad you have good family around you now! I'm sorry that happened to you as a child. It's clearly something that has stuck with you and was obviously a trauma to you as a small boy. That makes me really sad. Thankfully your wife and daughter are there for you. God bless you my friend! 🙏
