Guys, It Takes Balls to Talk
1 in 5 men won’t reach 45.
75% of UK su***des are men.
The biggest killer of men under 50 isn’t cancer or heart disease—it’s silence.
We’ve been sold a lie that "manning up" means suffering in silence. But real strength? Real strength is talking.
"How’s work?"
"You good, mate?"
*"Need a beer and a vent?"
These conversations save lives. Because su***de isn’t about wanting to die—it’s about wanting the pain to stop. And that pain can be eased by talking, listening, and reaching out.
Guys, we need to do two things:
Talk – Even when it’s awkward. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.
Listen – No fixes, no jokes, no "cheer up, mate." Just, "I’m here. “
If your mate’s acting off, ask twice how he is.
Give him a follow-up (maybe a catch-up beer in a month)
If you’re struggling, text a brother, With “###xx, things are a bit s**t can we grab some time tp talk?”
If you need help, GET IT. (No shame. None.)
Having the Balls2Talk isn’t about weakness—it’s about rewriting the rules.
Talk. Listen. Save a life.
