And one of the things with toxic masculinity is not getting help with that, or speaking about issues you are facing. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, or does it make you less of a man.
I am a white man and I feel that type of pressure.

Men too, but men care more about what women think and hoo boy do they walk differently than they talk. I was raised to be open and honest and avoid "toxic masculinity". Turns out I started to perform better socially when I hid my feelings and thoughts and tried to emphasize visibly masculine qualities. Too bad I didn't pick up on this till I turned 30, might have enjoyed more friendships and romantic relationships.
