I mean, I talk to friends and family about stuff that's going on. But I don't turn to them for actual advice because usually my own advice is better

- constantcrying 2y agoI like to talk to my friends about many things, my emotions just do not include that and at no point in my adult life have I ever felt any inclination to do so.
- watwut 2y agoYou have never talked about being angry, about being happy? Those are emotions. And I see men writing about feeling lonely on hacker news all the time. Developers talk about being frustrated by tasks. Frustration is an emotion.
- constantcrying 2y ago>You have never talked about being angry, about being happy? No. Why would I? >Developers talk about being frustrated by tasks. Frustration is an emotion. But they do not seek emotional support, they seek advice on how to overcome that frustration. >And I see men writing about feeling lonely on hacker news all the time. Coincidentally I have also never felt lonely. Not once in my life have I felt the need to externalize my emotions. Of course I have had problems in my life, which I talked about with parents and friends, but my emotions where never part of that.
- watwut 2y ago> But they do not seek emotional support, they seek advice on how to overcome that frustration. Totally not. They seek validation and venting. Men in general don't like being given advice, rarely seek it and when they do, they are explicit a put seeking it.
- constantcrying 2y ago>Men in general don't like being given advice, rarely seek it and when they do, they are explicit a put seeking it. What? Certainly not my experience, in either direction.
- watwut 2y agoThey do not even give advice to each other all that often.
