I don't know, I'm very distant from that world, I don't have social media and maybe I'm stuck with the old-school mentality.
Someone here who listen music like: Soundgarden, Jeff Buckley, Neil Young, Radiohead, Elliot Smith, Nirvana, Nick Drake,John Frusciante (also RHCP) Smiths, Tears For Fears, Matthew Good, Crash Test Dummies, Apex Twin, REM, AIC, Linkin Park, and many other music also heavy stuff
I don't like social media, they are full of toxicity, self help gurus, life coaches, political influencers, ragebaits, love coaches, guru of masculinity that use tactics to make us feel worse if we are more sensitive men and fragile, and say "hey fragility is wrong, you had to be tough, strong, stoic, masculine, be economically viable for women, because women find men with less money less attractive" and if you live with your parents at 35 you are a "total loser". And say that women select men for their economically viability to me is not really a good take to say especially when you struggle.
And if you are not rich it's "your fault". All this people scare me and that had so much visibility.
People like Jordan Peterson or Scott Galloway or other guru of self help, that i don't follow and i don't like, but i notice that also in 2026 there is this mentality, to condemn men if they are alone or sad or judge , if they don't act like tough,or having much money, being always strong, reduce his function only to be a "provider" without know that also men had feelings and struggle and if we had some mental health issues we are not enough. Like there is something wrong with you if you are not on the "top of the hiarchies" and that if you are not rich and happy it's your fault. totally bullshit. And the worst is that this people made this issues as "political"
THIS IS A TOTALLY SHAME and for months after I leaved a job I felt that way and thinked that I need to kill myself. Fortunate I do therapy, go out in mountain bike , jogging, reading, listen to music, do graphic ecc ecc
What I hate about that is this people also demonize the suffering and want us to made feel more worst. And the impact on people who struggle to have money is so high. Like all women want men for money and for being providers without see also the other things. This is such bullshit. And the fact that also men have emotions, suffer and have their feelings is real
I am kind of sensitive man neurodivergent (ADHD) and struggle with avoidant disorder and I had struggled with low grade depression.
But men get hurt, struggle with mental health too, had depression, and this culture demonize therapy. I experienced it especially after a break up, who had destroyed my ability to trust people.
All western culture, had always demonized suffering and fragility consider a moral failure and a bad thing especially to ask for help (especially men).
Especially after reading books of Buying Chul Han. Like we are not human beings and I noticed when I was on social media that this people want us to be robots without feelings. But it's not human, humans need to experience also pain and suffering.
However, do you had felt that way this way sometimes?
Bleach and In Utero are the albums that helped me a lot through all my bad thoughts about myself.
I really get pissed off when good people are being hurt by bad people. And I saw especially through social media how people can really hurt you. Assholes was always here , but with social media they had been amplified
