Don't like being vulnerable but on the net crying tho

A lot of people nowadays are perceiving that they have less and less purpose in life. That makes people dangerous. I feel for people like him that really have nothing in life that seems worthwhile and just sinks deeper and deeper into depression. We see it all too often.

I've always kept a girlfriend that I could trust with my life. Having one of those has always kept me grounded and I can focus on building and maintaining a homelife and recreation, and just enjoying life. Too many people out here have no purpose in life and that's when shit goes sideways.

And that woman's comment is not helpful for people like that brotha.
 
Her response is exactly what he's talking about.

Governor Moore of Maryland is right to address the problems of males in society.

Like only women can voice their struggles, or it only matter if a woman is affected.

That is part of why males react violently and emotionally when faced with traumatic situations.

We as a society must address the need for emotional intelligence or we will have more problems being permanently solved by way of the gun.

 
Kinfolk going thru it

I’m say this, when I visited Trinidad I was truly amazed at the realization that we work
Our time away.

I asked my peeps “bruh wtf these dude don’t work”

He laughed and said “ummm kinda, down here we mostly fishermen. You go out early and by the time

It was like 10am, on a Wednesday we pulled up to a lil house/store. Five of his peeps was liming aka chilling drinking beer and taking shots of punchin rum.

I saw the same scene at another spot, folks just chilling.
We went to his cuz house, she was chillin.
She just finished cooking a meal and was relaxing with her two sisters.
I was like wtf


His expression pretty much was
“Here they definitely need money but it don’t control us like in States. In America yall are raised to be workaholics”
 
I dont have the answers unfortunately. I will say alcohol was responsible for my crippling depression. When I haven't had any, I may still get depressed, but it doesn't last as long, and its not as intense.

It was weed for me. Funny thing was I started smoking again, after years of not fucking with it, nor alcohol (haven't had a drink in like 2 years) to alleviate stress and depression, but all it made me do was harp and hyper-focus on my stresses. Granted; I was able to map out solutions to certain issues, but the process felt darker than reality. If that makes sense. So, I had to stop that, too. Now, I find working with my hands to build and create different type of projects helps to clear my mind enough to focus on the steps needed for my form of problem solving. Hopefully, dude finds his thing that gives him the peace he needs to find and get back to himself.

Anything that generates clicks and likes. But then again, perhaps this is how this generation communicates. :dunno:

Exactly.

Maybe instead of making a video, talk to one of your homeboys you're crying that you don't have time to talk to.

I mean you said you don't talk about your feelings because you don't like to feel vulnerable then complain you don't have anyone to talk about your feelings with.

Is everyone else supposed to beat you up to force you to talk?

It is interesting that you are saying this because what you are describing is how I felt about my experiences with my Louisiana family. My cousins were asking me to quit my career here in California to move out there and kick it with them. They were really confused that I didn’t quit my career and move out there too. They never asked about my income or any of the considerations or concerns that I had.
They all worked a laborious job and promised that they could get the same job. Their daily routine was working the job, then hanging out at the bar with friends and fucking broads. Every day and night. I estimate that me and my friends here made 3x what they made, we went out on weekends, and fucked broads every weekend, but they appeared to have a much higher level of contentment and happiness. They didn’t seem at all concerned with making as much money as they can or their futures. They seemed a lot more focused on their present. As long as their immediate needs were met, they just had fun every day. Im not sure how they are doing now, but the older folks in the town all seemed the same way and generally happy and content.
 
Nobody cares about the mental health of men. Not even men. Look at the responses in this thread. If a woman made this same thread the world would bend at the knee. She'd be offered support and guidance, given money and food, etc. and if she's a single mother increase that by 10.

That brother is in a bad place plus he sees manhood all wrong. I hope that he can find a strong man that he can talk to or a good therapist that can help him through this life. That's a brother who still cares and we need to help him before he snaps.

Unfortunately people will just laugh at him until he does something stupid and ends up in prison. That's the world we live in. The saddest part is the people that are laughing at him are feeling just as bad or even worse than him.

It’s crazy how you see that… I can see this being the case. If when I travel outta state to work then come back.

In conversation when “express I might go lay up for 4 months”, some cats be like wtf, “man after two weeks I gotta get back to work. Having an ole lady and new born, I have to work”

I think to myself dawg I have an old lady, grown ass baby adult kids:lol:, 2 teenagers and grandkids… then i give money to one of the teenager mother. Boy yall young ninjas are fucked up….
 
This young brother just needs a plan. A solid road map to fulfillment is one helluva motivator. He needs to find someone that's already where he's trying to go and get a mentor.
 
When life hits the shit is hard. No more hanging with the homies on your parents dime. You see how important school really was. He's not a bitch but that shit should not be on the net. Get money, everything else will come in time.
