AskMen: What’s one thing you wish people knew about how men actually feel?

Ever thought about what men really feel but never say? This question isn’t about answers — it’s about understanding.

Men are more blunt about everything than women. That's why guys are always called insensitive because we say what we mean, what we want, when we want to. It's hysterical how women think they are so open with their feelings and that men are hiding something. Women project a lot from insecurity. It's them that hide their feelings and expect men to read their minds. Women sulk in depression and try to save face to maintain an image all the time. Guys just say stuff and get called assholes or whatever because we didn't read a woman's mind because she can't express her feelings.

Women are emotionally handicapped and hold it all in because they are too concerned about how others will view them. Being the physically weaker sex, they depend on groups more than on individuality. They use the cop out that they have to consider other's feelings, in order to hide their own feelings. As a result they have higher levels of depression and anxiety than men.

We dont show our feelings because we have spent our lifetime getting punished for doing so.

We understand why, but it still sucks being seen as a potential threat everywhere we go.

[Nikki1989]

The intense, pervasive fear of being perceived as incompetent, weak, or a failure, and the emotional isolation this fear creates. Not all men, of course, but many are this seriously insecure.
