The Misunderstanding of Male Emotions
Men are often perceived as emotionally repressed, but they actually feel emotions deeply. Traditionally, many men have been taught to suppress their feelings in favor of maintaining a stoic front. This generational conditioning has created a vacuum where men lack the tools or vocabulary to express their emotions adequately. Cultural narratives around masculinity reinforce this, leading to a disconnect that prevents open dialogue about emotional experiences.
