There is a common saying, “Mard ko dard nahi hota” or " Real Men Don't Cry "which means, A real man is one, who can face any challenges, doesn’t get tired, doesn’t cry or, who doesn’t have the right to express his emotions
Toxic Masculinity!
Men are often socialized to hide their emotions, which can be detrimental to their mental health and can lead to increased stress, anxiety and depression
They will not get that so called mardangi ka certificate! This social fear doen’t allow them to become AWARE of their own emotional problems.
Somehow, if they become aware, the stigma surrounding around Men’s mental health prevents them to take support and help!
The result is they suppress their own emotions which lead to frustration, ENGER (Emotional needs gratification enabling resstance), Anger and thus leading to poor communication, lack of intimacy which results in RELATIONSHIP ISSUE
