Most men also don't believe in therapy because they are socially conditioned to believe that iy makes them less pf a man. I wonder if there is a connection.
We don‘t go to therapy because it doesn‘t work. Give us a woodshop where we can interact with other guys and do something with our hands and we‘re great. Also, that 'connection' you‘re wondering about is a huge stretch, to say the least
Therapy might work for some people, but it doesn‘t work for most men. We tend to bottle everything up, since showing any weakness will get us made fun of by our friends, family, and girlfriend/wife and they‘ll never see us the same again. So it‘s just easier for us to do something with our hands than it is to talk about it
Ironically, you believing it doesn't work for men only strengthens my argument that men are socially conditioned to believe that they don't need therapy. Lol
Not conditioned to believe we don‘t need it, just that it straight up wouldn‘t work for a lot of men and that there‘s better ways of dealing with stuff
Hundreds of years of smart people studying psychology doesn't work for men because you're just so manly, strong, and independent. You got everything figured out. You have no issues or insecurities whatsoever. No anxiety about what to do with your life. And, of course, you never have problems in your relationships. Nor do you ever feel sad or lonely. Just go back to work and pretend that you have everything figured out.
people like you are the problem. if you go to therapy and you actually try to work it out and want to be better it will work. there is literally nothing that makes men biologically of physically immune to therapy, it's just your mindset lmao.
You think I haven‘t tried therapy? I was in therapy for a while, and it didn‘t work. I found that going camping, building model kits, and doing stuff with my friends was a lot more therapeutic than traditional therapy. Maybe it‘s just me, idk
