We, as a society, in American culture have failed once again.
Toxic masculinity is the destructive messaging given to men such as:
Man up
Walk it off
Figure it out
Don't talk about your problems
Don't have feelings
Never show emotions
You're weak if you "let things affect you"
Somethings wrong with you if don't have it all together/figured out
You shouldn't need anyone or anything
It's not safe to be vulnerable
If you open up, it will be used against you later
Leaving them disconnected from themselves while pressured to perform and provide, feeling alone and in pain until it seems there is only one escape.
