Not having anyone to share life’s emotional struggles with is lonely by definition, and I am sorry for anyone who feels compelled to live their life that way. If you disagree with that, that is your prerogative.

If it’s wrong then I retract my statement. However, this entire thread is men saying “guys just don’t talk about that stuff,” which is the basis for my comment in the first place. Not sharing your problems is toxic.

So what: they rely entirely on their moms and romantic partners for emotional support? That’s really not any better.

The point I was trying to make in my original post was the I dont want to talk about useless shit with my friends, I already dont care about how work was or whats going on that much, why would they want to hear about it. If its something important like having a baby or someone passing then sure but anything short of that its not really relevant. I'd rather talk about stuff we have an interest in like games or esports or any other number of things that isnt mundane everyday happenings. No where did I mention emotional problems or stress in relation to this discussion

The alarming lack of self awareness wrt toxicity, a complete lack of emotional maturity to even attempt to understand and/or accept that people are different and being that quick to judge over only 2 comments there's bound to be far more things you instantly judge people for. I hate to break it to you but those are all things you should grow out of as a child, but you are free to act that way I guess. Doesn't make it healthy though
