Men can often struggle with emotional vulnerability because...
1/ You have never seen your dad cry
2/ You have been called ‘soft’ for showing emotion
3/ When you have shown emotion, you have been told to ‘get a grip,’ ‘stay strong,’ or ‘pull yourself together’
4/ You think other men wouldn’t feel as hurt – making you feel weak in comparison
5/ Someone has never held a space for you that allows you to truly feel what you’re feeling
6/ You feel you must put an image out to the world that doesn't reflect who you are – influenced by societies harmful and unrealistic perception of what it means to be a man
You are allowed to feel and express anxiousness, overwhelm, sadness and hurt.
It does not make you less of a man.
