Men aren’t silent because they want to be.

They’re silent because every time they try to speak, someone tells them to sit down, shut up, and “be a man.”

You can only hear “get over it” so many times before you realize your thoughts, feelings, and struggles don’t matter.

That YOU don’t matter.

So they just stop talking. And that silence? It kills.

The numbers don’t lie: men kill themselves at 4x the rate of women.

Men are also far less likely to seek therapy or open up about depression. Not because they don’t feel pain,  but because the world mocks them when they do.

Especially the mental health world where men aren’t seen as patients but the problem.

Here’s the ugly truth: society doesn’t want to hear men’s problems. It doesn’t care about them in the least.

All it wants is for men to keep working, keep paying, keep fighting, and keep suffering… in silence.

Men don’t need more “man up” speeches.

They need spaces to be heard, respected, and supported.

Sadly, we as a society aren’t ready to accept that… are we?
