My story is actually hilarious. At one point in my life I thought that I didn’t even have the ability to cry. That I had ran out of tears. I got so good at suppressing my emotions that I was never sad. Then I met a girl who told me to open up. So I did. I told her about my childhood, I told her about what ex’s had done. I told her how she made me feel. Cried for the first time in years to her and she used it against me.

Me. I feel it. I understood it because I’ve been there. My dad and I went through the same thing he told me “kid don’t show your emotional side, don’t break down in public because the world doesn’t really care about it.” So I never cried, never cried at my grandma’s funeral never cried when my sister got married, never cried when my dad got cancer.

So heartbreaking how this is the reality for men, and we as women have the AUDACITY  to sit there and complain that “women have it worse”

I’m not convinced he’s only acting here. Ed’s a fantastic actor, but there are for sure some personal truths going on in that monologue.

@nikolajchristiansen2080

I haven't cried in 5 years. I'm scared that if i start, i'll never stop

@jackclayton8792

I'll tell you now as someone that grew up with a man like Jay's dad, we don't hold it in because that's how we were raised, we hold it in because the people that say they want us to open up get drowned by the sheer volume of what we've been holding in... then they leave because it makes us look dysfunctional and crazy.

My dad is like that, I swallow my sadness and tears. I rarely cry

@OneMomentPodcast

When we sit there and push our emotions down, we stand the chance of "exploding" like a hot water heater. Getting stuff out is important, and sometimes it takes therapy to help us get through things.

Dear Hedieh.  I thank God for tender-hearted women like you who care about the struggles that men go through.  I am also happy to see you point out that men struggle with being vulnerable, showing emotion, or shedding tears.  The problem is that so many people often associate vulnerability with weakness, and this is not true at all.   Emotions are not weakness, and being sensitive, or emotionally vulnerable, is not unmasculine. Also, emotional suppression is unhealthy for men, both emotionally and physically.  We have known this for many years.  There is nothing masculine about not reaching out for help in time of need.  There is nothing manly about hiding your pain, suppressing your needs, suffering in silence, and living in isolation.  So those who compel men to suppress their emotions, deny their needs, and suffer in silence are killing men.

   WOMEN AND SOCIETY NEED TO SHOW MORE COMPASSION FOR MEN'S HEALTH AND THE PROBLEMS THAT MEN GO THROUGH.

@JosephDurling

This is the reality for most of us

Dear Hedieh, thank you so much for making this video.  As a man, I am truly grateful for your compassion toward men and men's health. You really do point out a lot of useful information on the issue of men's mental health.  In the midst of all the man-bashing going on, it is so encouraging and inspiring to know that there are compassionate, benevolent people, like you, who genuinely care about the issues that men have to deal with; and that you have a kind, loving attitude toward men.  I am also glad to see that you have shown that men struggle with issues of mental health because of the rigid gender role expectations placed on us, as men.  I pray that this video and the message on men's health will spread like wildfire. God bless you.

@JacksonPolak

I have cried so much to the point I can stop crying in less than a minute because it’s just too much for my mind to keep up with my feelings and then I’m a video game if a chicken dies of old age in a coop, I break down when I play alone

@Mattt4314

I relate to that. Ex cop struggling on my own. I’m not a nice to be around

@ThereelSlim_edits10

@creepus_explodus8029

I feel that Agent Smith’s final speech is 100% accurate with modern men’s mental health.

@FAFO6311

Amen 🙏

@angelacrobat7332

Welcome to our world. Where most of today’s society’s people never expects a man to have feelings. Yup. 100% accurate.
