I haven’t cried in sixteen years, but for some reason this just broke all the barriers and precautions I put in place to keep myself from crying in thirteen minutes.

This hit hard and hurt, grew up hearing men dont cry, never allowed to show pain or emotional hurt, until now at my age, 61 facing PTSD, Anxiety and deep depression alone and numb, you had me crying so hard I sobbed, want to so bad to yell I AM NOT MADE OF STONE! Thank You! Please forgive this old fool.

[Blindluck]

My father, uncles, cousins, and grandfather: "Of course it's okay for men to cry."
My mother: "You can take it!"
Guess who I don't talk to anymore?"
This was very accurate and full of things I need to hear more often than I do. Thanks for the audio, Michelle.

As someone who's been dealing with crippling loneliness and possibly depression for the past couple years (possibly longer), this really hit me. I don't even know how to tell anyone I desperately need help, and I'm so introverted that I can't even confide in the few friends that I do have. I know that men having to hide their tears is bullshit and yet I feel like I can't be properly sad

[Doktor_Youth]

This shit hit HARD. I've never actually felt the build-up of tears in my eye lids before. I've always wanted to be an emotional person, but never knew how exactly to let go of keeping it all boxed in. Great audio. Perfect voice. Ty

8:11 Honestly, this one got to me the most. I don’t remember who, if anyone, told me that “men don’t cry” and other crap like that, but I do actually remember me telling myself “you have to be strong” and “you can’t be seen crying” back when my dad died. I haven’t been the same since all that. I want to talk about how I feel, but it is too hard for me to do by myself. Some people need a push to talk about what they want to, and that’s ok. Having someone there that makes you want to talk about how you feel makes dealing with negative emotions easier than just bottling them all up.
Idk who is going to read this, but I just want to say that even if you can’t see it, you are loved and cared for by someone. That someone might change over time, whether it be old friends changing or you getting new friends, but I can guarantee that there’s someone out there who wants only the best for you.

"You're not the problem... your the result" - I wish someone told me that 4 years ago. I wish I could have told myself 4 years ago 💔. This is the next best time. Thank you ❤ for giving me space and a safety to do it.

You hit all the points. You're kindness is honestly scarier then someone hitting me. But that's so wrong now that I put it in words. Thank you for helping me to begin recalibrate this aspect of me.

It's not just one it's all of those that you mentioned. It's me, those around me, my parents. I'm trying to be in my own corner for the first time ever in my life.

[wyattcheatle]

That made me shed a single tear, which in all honesty is huge seeing as I can’t remember the last time I cried beyond my eyes flushing some foreign contaminant out of them. The part from 8:10-9:10 hit me like a truck.

[ColdCryomancer]

I know you don't know my personal life but its pretty funny how this one hits SUPER close to home. Thankyou for your calm kind words. I needed this.

[aberrationiv]

This audio is very important to hear. I know I tried to lock away my emotions for too long. Hell, I can’t even cry unless I'm in a full breakdown. And I'll still usually hurt myself first. Locking up emotions causes too damn many problems. Especially if you're unlucky enough to be bipolar like I am. So many unbridled emotions jammed into that box. The pressure is enough to turn pencil lead into diamond. Makes me feel like a shambling husk. I like audios like this that remind me I can still be human if I unlatch that fateful box.

[andrewwhite]

After my dad suddenly passed away five years ago. These are emotions that I deal with often. But I surround myself with hobbies I enjoyed doing with my dad to help fight it.

[davinrepama]

Unfortunately like many men who’ve found this video it hit me hard. At a young age my family went through hardships and being the first born son I was told I needed to be strong and always wear a smile but as I got older my smile became fake I started to laugh instead of cry I smiled when I wanted to frown and soon even when I would just sit there silently I was told it was wrong so now I smile cause from a boy to man I was told I can’t feel sad

[sisigs]

I'm astonished how much you know about male struggles.

[neohelios]

Honestly this audio was extremely accurate maybe even painfully.


For people who would be willing to read this, the scariest part for me was when she talked about that little ball of anger hiding under the surface. I’ve had problems with managing my anger ever since I was a kid and through a large part of my teenage years I ended lashing out on other people and hurting them on accident. And ever since I’ve always been terrified that this ball of anger will surface once more and I can’t control it.

[eastflames]

Emotions for me can be a pandora's box sometimes. I know this comes from my father, and from his father. You speak a lot of truth. Thank you for this audio.

[kenr]

Very good presentation! On the flipside, it can be difficult to find the woman who excepts the emotions of a man. Even when the man wants, needs to show that vulnerability. Well done Michele!

[aiden]

I have several mental health issues, and recently I've begun to realize that a lot of my childhood was composed of toxic and damaging scenarios and mindsets, even from my parents, who think they're just pushing me to do my best. I've never been able to help getting emotional (regulating my emotions is very hard) but I get attached to people easily, yet at the same time worry about opening up and overwhelming people. I needed to hear some of these things. Thank you 💙

[maxlespadon]

Just thank you so much
I listen to asmr rp for 5 years now and this is clearly the one that's help me the most to feel better thank

[thegoldavenger.]

Recently I’ve been trying to get into my emotions more, listening to sad audios like this or stuff that is just brings those emotions back. I guess it’s been working, tears come a little more easily

[UnknownEnvixity]

Sometimes I don't even think that might even have the ability to cry this one hit way closer to home then I was expecting
