"Nobody would listen" yet people (not just men) don't go to therapy where someone's not only PAID to listen, but to help you challenge those cognitive distortions and apply the skills gained to heal with people that do want to listen without the payment. There's 8 billion people in the world. It's simply not true "nobody would listen or care."

Edit: 7cups.com is free.

Sure. I gotta pay just to talk to people. Love this society. I think I will just isolate for a bit like the meme says.

Therapy is not about talking to people, it's about helping you be best version of yourself. About helping you help yourself. Instead of continue doing whatever you think you're doing, with isolation and self harm and constant loathing.

  1. Not everyone can afford a therapist
  2. Not all therapists are equal
  3. Just because there are 8 billion people in the world doesn’t mean there is someone there for you that will genuinely listen to you

But people with your attitude is exactly what I’m talking about.

There are sliding scale agencies, some taking on clients for free. Take care.

Aaand of course you are not a man.

Can you simply accept that you may not know what other people go through?

You don't have to be a man to understand the male experience. We're very vocal about it.

Not all men are the same. All humans vary in life.

Volunteering armchair psychologist in .world?

Who really wants to know of something someone went through without it being beneficial for the victim? Are you going to commit to a gofundme?

Don't publish in a vacuum, praxis mental care, for those that really consent.

Brii Ash, wasn't doing so in insta.
