Because they are afraid if they bring it up with their buds..... Their buds will perceive the man as weak and advocate for him to immediately forfeit his man card......
@Threepio that is an issue, I’m not denying that. But it seems inappropriate when discussing a particular issue that has affected me. It feels like a diversion. I think it’s best they come up with their own posts to bring attention to the topic. To make a change, you have to be willing to except that people will try and bring you down. I dealt with that a lot as a CSA survivor, people thinking I’m wrong for not coming forward as soon as it happened despite me being a practically nonverbal autistic child when it happened.
I also feel that mental health conversations are best had with trained mental health professionals. IE: there is just SO MUCH bad advice going around out there....
