Society has a major impact on our lives. Cultural expectations and social values shape our behaviour, beliefs, and choices. As these have changed over the years, what happens if we struggle to change and adapt?.
As men we tend to avoid processing difficult feelings and emotions preferring to bury them, distracting ourselves with alcohol, drugs, food, etc. This may work in the short term but not in the long term.
Age and declining testosterone levels cause major physiological and psychological changes, further reducing our capacity to fulfill our roles and responsibilities as men. We may become disillusioned, frustrated, even depressed without realising it.
With 3/4 of all suicides being male, it appears to be getting harder to know how to be a man, to meet the expectations of society and remain true to ourselves. It’s easy to feel confused, oppressed and alone.
Instead, it has become linked with toxicity. So how are we supposed to behave in today’s society?.
What do we do if our natural masculine drive is not welcomed?
It’s easy to feel confused as to our role and purpose.
But not what to be, do, or say instead. We’re told that we’re privileged, but it doesn’t feel that way. We didn’t oppress anybody, so why are we being punished for the sins of our forefathers?
It feel’s like our very being is questioned on a daily basis.
As men we often lack the ability to express ourselves. We’ve not learned how, or had a place, to talk openly. We keep our feelings and emotions locked up, unable to express them, leading to internal conflict, self doubt, and deteriorating mental health.
If you feel lost, we can help you find direction and purpose, and the motivation to pursue it.
