This is a re-upload of my video as I was having trouble with it getting blocked for some reason. But it worked this time and I'm so glad since this was probably my favorite Remix of this wonderful song! Thank you to Dax for his amazing work!

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 🙏

@@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.

@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".

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.

[@Jack_rabbits_sage_brush]

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. I have been single since and raised my kids alone without the embrace of a loving wife. So this song hits hard!

[@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.

[@scottallen5269]

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.

Thanks Dax for this song, I’m 71 years old and my husband and I will be married 50 years in May, he’s always been the strongest man I know, but he’s never been afraid to show his emotion, when my mum passed away he cried because he loved her very much, but he was the only man that shed a tear for her that includes my brothers , to them it showed weakness, very sad that men are not allowed to show emotion

[@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.

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.

[@eelectron9582]

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". 😪

[@BlackTar2]

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. Most people don’t have the ability to live 50% of the time strong and 50% not, that becomes living the life of two people so one of them usually takes over.

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...

[@DracontineFire]

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.

The hardest part is, society shows you that men dont cry. If a father doesn't tell his son dont cry, society will sadly show him why he cant cry. It`s a thing many men learn on their own even if nobody explained it.

Girl, it was like having the exact same cry clock on that one. Losing my Dad was the absolute hardest and left the biggest hole that was and still is the most captivatingly and emotionally devastating. 7 years later, i still struggle with it, my earthly father cant point in the right direction anymore, he's not there to share that fatherly wisdom that's a result of the pain and suffering a man, husband and father has to face head on, no matter what.

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.

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
