Men have an outgroup bias while women have an ingroup one, if you are in distress as a man, you are very likely to not receive any sympathy from your peers. Human connections are so important, if you don't have any, you might end up depressed and depression paralyzes you from doing anything in life, which aggravates the situation as when you feel lacking energy and worthless, you are less sociable and less likely to form new connections, don't fall into this vicious cycle guys. Meaningful relationships are one really strong antidote against depression, so let's cherish friendship, brotherhood and family. Thank you again for another great video.

Thank you for the brilliant comment. That is a perfect description of the vicious cycle that is fuelling the male depression epidemic. And, by accurately diagnosing the root cause, your analysis also reveals the potential cure.

@@blackpillacademy Yeah, most of depression could be cured/prevented permanently by adopting healthy lifestyle that includes physical exercise, paleo like healthy diet and social relationships. There should be government sponsored social groups for both men and women that just go out in nature to run/walk long distances, socialize while doing it and then eat proper meat and veggies after the hike. Rinse and repeat until it becomes the second nature for all group members.

A main issue I have is regarding the "NEED" part, cause the answer is always yes, and while u'd think that would make one happy cause feeling needed is nice sure, it's always as a tool to help solve their issues, or cause their time is deemed too important to solve that but them knowing I got gaming as a hobbie, my free time is deemed less valuable than their free time. Obv, I took steps to distance myself from some of these ppl but the real tragedy is the realization that came after: that even some of the supposedly closest ppl in your life - your family & relatives - can be similar. Like, at some point you can't keep cutting ppl off , yet they're like this too... talk about being caught between a rock & a hard place. The only answer I could come up with so far was deception: always make myself seem busier than I actually am. I don't like having to be dishonest with supposedly close ppl, but if your existence to them is also treating you like a tool , then this is the lesser evil. Altho' it does keep things into a status quo , just more tolerable , mode - and I'm still left thinking of a better solution. But ya, pretty depressing to think about.

That is a brutal realization. In order to satisfy the most basic need for a social creature - the need to belong - we have to sacrifice everything else that brings us joy. Alas, when it comes to maintaining boundaries, I can’t think of any other solution to protect one’s free time.

Its indeed truly a tragic feeling the one of being a man with so much feeling and things in your heart and your mind, and just not being capable of finding the right precise words and people to vent and say everything you have inside, its gets to a point that this exausting talking with people (specially women) looking for the right words to say out of fear of being judge by some comment you made. When talking with women this nessecity becomes even more urgent since you never know if what you are saying now might be used against you in the future or no, its painful and stressful. Great video man, long time since the last time we talked and hope you are doing well, have a good day bro

Thanks man - you have perfectly described the Kafkaesque milieu that we inhabit today. But at least we can vent and connect with like-minded individuals online. Speaking of which, I always look forward to hearing from you my friend. I hope you are doing okay as well.

Even when men express their emotions, no one cares. In fact, they tend to get the ole 'man up' routine. I think that's a bigger reason than them trying to impress women. If society tells you that it hates you, you listen.

Thanks for raising awareness about these issues bro. Do you think us lonely men need to be more willing to open up about our mental health struggles?

@blackpillacademy 3 ай бұрын

Thanks man. I think talking about these issues irl is a double edged sword: on the one hand, it can feel good to vent - especially after years of pretending everything’s okay; but the lack of understanding from normies can leave you feeling more isolated and alone. The advice to "open up" presupposes that one is embedded within a supportive network of family and friends, which for many men simply isn’t the case (although online communities can fill the void to some extent).
