We often ask, “Why don’t men talk?” but maybe the better question is, “What were they taught?”

From the moment they’re told “boys don’t cry,” many men begin a lifelong habit of emotional suppression. Not because they lack feelings, but because they were never given permission to express them. Mental health struggles in men often wear masks: anger instead of grief, silence instead of sadness, overwork instead of overwhelm.

This blog uncovers what men are really suffering from, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, loneliness and how these struggles are shaped not by biology, but by culture. It explores how we can shift the narrative, starting in early childhood, and how redefining strength, modeling vulnerability, and creating safe spaces can help men finally be seen, heard, and healed.

Because men aren’t emotionless.
They’re unheard.
And it’s time we changed that.

Respect isn't a birthright tied to age, it’s a legacy built through empathy, humility, and the courage to listen. When cultures silence young voices to protect ego, they don’t preserve tradition, they betray it. True wisdom doesn’t demand reverence; it earns it. And the elders we remember with love aren’t the loudest, they’re the ones who made room for truth, even when it came from the smallest voice.

This one’s close to my heart. It’s about family, love, and simply showing up for the people who matter most. Thanks for being here and holding space for it - Tash
