THE SILENT BATTLE BETWEEN A MAN AND HIS EMOTIONS
Hello everyone you're welcome to my blog today
The world's expectation made men the structure of society. Men were seen as providers and protectors, and with that, they were meant to survive, which depended on their physical strength, endurance and stoicism. When a man can endure hardship without breaking down, he has value, and nothing else can change that. And for this, this survival mindset toughened up into a rigid emotional rule.When I hear people say to be a man is not easy I totally understand it, too much is expected of them.
Head of the household that means a man should do his very best to make sure he is responsible in my dealings and that he should do things conducive . It means spending wisely. It means making sure that things get taken care of. It means listening to everyone in the house to make sure that all are heard and that there can be peace.
Sadly being a man means that at the end of the day he will be the person who takes the responsibility. Who makes sure doors are locked? Who makes sure lights are out? Who plays mediator when there are troubled times? Who has to play the responsible adult even when he really doesn't want to.
Sometimes being a man also means putting on a strong face for the good of the family even when I'm not feeling it.I mean that in these present days people don't cry out to friends anymore rather you endure your pain as a man and have your challenges in peace and battle it alone to avoid had i known at last.
Men are good at hiding and bottling up their emotions.when a father is angry, he’s angry alone, and nothing much changes in the home. But when the mother is angry, the entire house either becomes angry with her or feels the effects of her anger, because it will affect everything she does I will call you passing of aggression , but it will be easy to tell when Mummy is angry, and everyone will know to tread carefully.
Maybe it is just a social construct to see men as stronger vessels than women, and it has also been likened to a taboo for men to cry, whether indoors or publicly. I like it that way. Men should always remain the men we know them to be, men who do not cry.
I have never seen my Dad cry in public and I wonder how he handles pain. Men should not be seen crying in public as this would affect the emotions of others among us, both the children and the women and this is because they see us as their refuge and also their dependant who they can depend on whenever there's trouble
Yes I think men should let out their emotions more when faced with life challenges than they currently do? They should I know what it feels like to be eaten up by emotions I can't let out. I remember a few weeks ago when I received disturbing news about my mom's health i was so sad that it felt like the end of the world.
However, this isn’t change that would happen in a day. It would probably take years and decades for us to see this change. Everyone deserves to show emotions and let it all out. No one is left out because the world can hit you hard regardless of your gender.
Thank you for stopping by my blog
It's really a battle, lol. You pointed out very intresting points and I appreciate you for that. Sometimes the emotional trumas, responsibilities and work load in a man's head becomes too much but he still has to keep being that protector and provider regardless. This is just the reality of a man
