Why don't we men support each other?

When we men are suffering and going through hard times we have no one to rely on or even talk to right? I was just thinking, why don't we ever talk and support each other? Its clear we can't open up to women even if they say we can but bros understand bros. We know what each other goes through. We understand the pain and hardships, we can relate and empathize. So why do we ignore each other? I'm not trying to be melodramatic or anything, its not like I've suffered trauma or loss of a loved one but I do understand pain. I understand loneliness, feeling worthless or unwanted, feeling like you're not enough that you'll never amount to anything, feeling that all the work and effort you put in is wasted and goes unnoticed. I've had sort of a crappy year, sort of why I'm spilling my guts. I wouldn't say I've had a great life but neither have I had a terrible life, I'd say more of a drab and mundane life. Devoid of meaning and purpose, just grinding away, stuck on survival mode.

Truth is men and women are different in ways where we would feel more supported by someone who understands.

I would listen, and I'm sure there's things I would understand, but I don't know what it's like to be a man. I think men struggle to relate on deeper levels because of how society has dictated men, just like they do women. We all feel the pressure, we should all have relief.
