bro is having a rough time, and all his ‘friends’ abandon him and him his problems are wrong . . .
First greentext that’s actually believable
Saddest greentext I ever saw, real and straight
Men don’t talk about shit.
Source - am man
But male loneliness is totes the fault of dem wimmenz
Nobody outside incels say that and they don’t represent men at large.
Oh they talk shit. Maybe you just dont hear it because its about you.
Time and place for everything.
You usually don’t choose when you have a mental breakdown. The big thing here is that he crashed out and not a single one of his friends cared about his wellbeing enough to try and help. Just got told to go to a doctor.
I mean not every situation is one where people are prepared to drop everything and be the emotional support.
Just got told to go to a doctor
Probably the best advice though
What was he supposed to say?
“Alright bro. I might not be a doctor, but I’ll help you get an erection. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)”
Comfort him. Let him know that he’s not a leper all of a sudden for having a moment of vulnerability. Listen. Make sure that they understand that they’re heard.
These are pretty basic forms of emotional labor that go a long way in helping folks, and can even save lives at times.
This is good advice, thank you for the reality check.
“Oh you broke your arm? Don’t worry bro we will support you and set your arm right. No doctor needed.”
Fake: anon has friends
Gay: anon has drunk conversations about dicks
I’m guessing those drunk conversations about dicks are to himself in the mirror, since he has no friends to talk to for that matter.
Recently had a talk with hospital employee friend about ED and how it’s exceptionally preventable and 9 times out of 10 caused by sedentary lifestyle resulting in poor circulation. Pass it on to bro, I guess.
Doesnt diet affect it too with cholesterol or something?
What the fuck has that poor VietCong got anything to do with this?
they became Venture Capitalists
No they are inside the Videogame Console
anon leaves the VietCong
Makes sense
Poor bro :(

Punching up is fine. Men run the world, and women are mistreated, often considered property (or we should “get back” to that time), so yeah, leave women out of this. We shouldn’t punch down.
Edit: cool. In a post where we could have otherwise discussed healthcare of men in society, the above poster is the one who brought up women getting special treatment, but I’m the one who is the problem.
Okay
Shittiness is not gendered. You can be a shitty man and you can be a shitty woman but the only person of any persuasion being shit here is you.
Punching up is not fine. Its a cope phrase people use to glaze over their shitty behaviour.
“Up” is so vague it can be anything.n

Well the above poster seems to be making the argument that its ok because hes a man and that overrides his mental illness. The point of my comment is that you dont get to “punch” just because someone is perceived to be above you in some random hierarchy.
Up is subjective and arbitrary. It implies that there is a strict and clear hierarchy to oppression, discrimination, and marginalization and ignores intersectionality. If a black woman is shitty to a disabled white woman, is she punching up or down? How do you weigh the different traits that lead to marginalization? Who’s above who? How does this change as conditions change (for example racism in China vs racism in America). And in the end, what goal is it helping you achieve? Is it an effect strategy to achieve that goal? In the end, there is a more complex situation at play here that can’t be boiled down to “you’re above me so it is okay for me to be shitty to you.”

Are black women making TV shows about disabled white women?
Nah, it’s more the whole “punching up is fine” thing.
Above this is plenty of discussion about how his friends did him dirty, and trying to piece how this coulda gone better, a better response to the dude immediately going “BuT IF A wOmaN!!” Would have been “so why don’t you make changes instead of going to the blame well?” Instead of “punching up is fine”
It’s so rare for guys to open up like this. Usually you’ll get some little comment about not being OK but if you try to address it directly or even just țry commiserating they’ll get uncomfortable and back out of it with some thought terminating cliché like “it is what it is.”
Someone actually having a breakdown and opening up about their problems would be so much easier.
It’s so rare for guys to open up like this.
Unless they’re hammered, which was the case here
