In my culture, the men work to develop those intimate, validating, and comforting male bonds. The elder men work to connect the younger men with their heritage and are easily accessible in The Mens House. It seems like the more civilized we become, the more detached we become from Self & Nature. Today so many have a lot of trauma from not getting that validation and support. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR COOL EXPERIENCE! 😊
TW: DEPRESSION I started following you because I thought my husband could benefit from some of these messages... but as I watched more and more of your videos, I started to realize that I'm the (wo)man-child... I've had severe depression my whole life. I never made any plans for my future because I didn't expect to live this long. I've been putting all the mental load on my family and husband because "I don't even want to exist, so why should I put any effort into existing?" My husband told me that on my "good" days, I do half the (visible) work of the household (probably more like 30% of the actual total work), and on my really bad days, he has to do 110% of the total work of the household (all the physical/mental labor PLUS listening/responding to my negativity and forcing me to get out of bed, drink water, and eat), and that this leaves no space for him to have a bad day or need my help at all. I'm still tired and depressed. I still can't make myself care about almost anything, but I care about my husband and family, so now I am trying to recover from being a giant adult baby.
I think the man child label works bc it describes men that are feeling fine emotionally and health wise but sadly take little responsibility in their families and partnerships. What you're describing sounds like a severe health issue. Can I suggest that you consider being kinder to yourself as a first step in healing from depression ❤
These companies sound amazing, thank you for sharing 🙏 i am a recovering people pleaser in relationships with man children 😂 Thank you so much for your willingness to share your vulnerability, it makes a huge difference. ❤

@@penthehuman thanks for the kind words. I was mostly just talking about how even when I feel fine, I don't take as much responsibility as I could
