Hey all men of Blind. Do you really have someone to reach out to when you are at your lowest? For context, I am 32 M (race: Asian Indian) and since last two months I have been at my lowest and want to speak up and share but there is really no one who I can do this that can give me comfort. I have friends and great friends but everyone is pretty much busy with their wife/gf/kids or work. Recently, I bumped on an instagram reel that showed multiple men and each one of them saying if you are a man, you don't really have someone to share stuff with and you'll have to deal with this alone. Parents - they usually over stress over things Friends - Too busy in 30s Colleagues - Fear of judgement Wife / GF - ??? My questions is: Is this how life is going to be? Do I have to take it all alone ? (Edit: I have worked with Therapists in the past and 1 out of 3 was good but I didn't feel the personal comfort really. I might try it again this time) P.S (irrelevant): The reason I am at my lowest is a relationship that my ex and I just ended and it took exact 18 days for her to find a new guy. It's been a month now, I can't seem to get over her and the fact that she moved on so quick pains my soul so much. Also, falling and failing in love at 32 seems like an embarrassment and the pressure of getting married from parents is adding to the pain. #depression #mentalhealth #burnout T.C. : ~450k

I don't understand
I have a busy life with wife and kids but when good friends reach out from the other side of the world to talk through their problems, I make the time!
Same. Also when you help others often you are better equipped to help yourself.
You feel good they have problems or you genuinely offer help.
People pay for therapists to listen. In your case, meta pays for Lyra. Use it! What’s Asian Indian btw?
I have good male friends and my girlfriend
Still on blind
Woman find new people faster but they also have a much shorter window. Don't think it is because there is anything wrong with you. Also if you're in California or Washington the gender ratio is skewed

Workout, be productive. It’s time for your villain arc.
Your best friend from your college or childhood friend who is very close to heart. Never share or cry infront of women. They will lose respect you you and leave you soon 🔜
You need better women in your life if expressing yourself causes them to change their view of you.
I recommend you watch this amazing talk about the truth about vulnerability and opening up to others: https://www.netflix.com/us/title/81010166
I got a middle school friend. We both rant to each other from time to time.
Yes bro Am 31 here and same Men don’t have support groups as we women do
It's called therapy
more precisely Iron Therapy. and the church of Iron. Get your testosterone levels checked. Lift heavy heavy weights for 45 mins. 3 times a week. Get active and be involved in sports. Two times a week. Sleep 8 hours a day every single day and eat clean. Have a high protein diet. Have a goal and a purpose. Be social. Make this a foundation on which you rebuild your life. You are a King my lord. You will rule the world. But first you need to put the basics in. Also, if everything goes according to plan and everything is smooth and perfect life becomes boring as f. The ups and downs will add a beautiful texture to your character and will bring about an irresistible flavor to your life.
I liked this for "You are a King my lord" lol
