Other men relate to this? It sorta hit home for me.

@littlepuppywantanewlife i dissagree.
When a man shows bis vulnerable side it can be a beautiful thing .
He lets you in past his hard outer shell. It can make you closer .

But vulnerability is a seen as a bad thing . People can take advantage of it. Men can get riduculed for it by thier piers .

Its a toxic mentality to believe that a person wont like you if you reveal your inner self .
I mean, how can you ever truly connect to a person if you keep such a large part of yourself locked away?

Its these social 'beliefs' that we need to knock down.🤷‍♀️

@OogieBoogie I understand what you are saying. But In real life people have dumped me. Younger women or girls don't understand this. I tried to show or share feelings but they are like be strong. Stop acting like a girl

@littlepuppywantanewlife well that's sad.
I suppose women are duped into this stupid social expectation jist as much as men .

Mind you , its also about balance .
Everyone needs a partner who is both vulnerable AND strong.
No person should bear the responsible weight of a relationship by themselves .

Every person needs to know their partner can be strong when they cant .

But being abused like that is just cruel.
But i also think you dodged a bullet .
If a woman expects you to be strong all the time, then that's unfair .

@OogieBoogie very wise words from you 🤗
