Why is everyone depressed lately?

[Anonymous]

Especially every guy I talk to. They just seem so depressed and don't want to deal with anything and I'm trying my best to be there but they keep pushing me away and it hurts.

[Anonymous]

Depressed because we are treating as criminal for expressing our feelings.

Deemed unattractive to reject.

Forced to live like second class.

And no comfort of warmth.

[exitseven]

Social media. Everyone thinks that they are missing out and it makes them depreseed.

[Asker]

Yeah that's true.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Society as it is today does not resonate with the human soul. The majority of people are stuck living in the rat race. People socialize mostly through social media and the internet. Feminism has made many women entitled, narcissistic, misandrists who dress promiscuously and sleep around. So it's not worth having relationships with many of them. Men are repressed in western society and many (let me emphasize not all) are lonely. There's a male loneliness epidemic and it's due to the fact that many men don't even see their place in society these days. Men used to be the breadwinners, but now with all the tech that makes things extremely convenient and easy, women don't need men (unless we're talking about infrastructure... then it's men that do most of those and hold society up).

Wow you a good friend. I'm sure I haven't really seen that guys at least that I know. But you need to be careful that you don't get all caught up in that kind of stuff , because that will also bring you down

I mean, it sounds like you have a beautiful heart. And you know what you're doing, but just remember.\nWe are who we hang with, so be careful you don't get caught up in that. Depression stuff

Have you seen the world right now? Everything is almost constantly bad news. Not only that, men are constantly bombarded with the messaging they are garbage for just being a guy. We’ve been consistently made to feel like shit because of previous generations. Every day is just survival mode and even trying to find a partner is demoralizing. Why bother and get married when so many end in divorce.

People have a hard time with affection especially when people have either shut them down for expressing feelings… or pretended to be there and used it all against them later.

[HollyK21]

“They just seem so depressed”, so you’re just diagnosing each one with depression because they don’t wanna hang out with you? Interesting.

[Asker]

No they do want to "hang out" with me but I don't want that. I don't want to satisfy them temporarily with sex. That's not the answer. It's just a temporary fix. And they both have expressed being deeply depressed to me.

[HollyK21]

If basically all they want is sex then depression isn’t the issue, romantic interest is. They don’t want to invest in that way.

[HollyK21]

So two men expressed being depressed, not every single one you’ve encountered, which makes more sense. In all honesty I think that some men will use their mental health issues as both a shield and an excuse.

[Asker]

You're right. And I know I need to be careful with that which I'm trying to do. I want to reach them without having to go to sex with either one of them but I know if we were to meet up that's where it would go. So I'm choosing not to meet up with either one.

[HollyK21]

I definitely think that’s a better choice. Like if it’s not going anywhere serious then what’s the point in investing more time, you know? Guys like that, who are noncommittal and have every excuse in the book as to why they choose to date that way, are a complete and utter waste of time. You can do bad all by yourself.

[Asker]

Right. Thank you. I sure can!

[HollyK21]

No problem hun. It’s a brand new year, you’re starting off on the right foot! Good luck with all of this💛

[Asker]

Thanks again! 💙

[Fireguy17]

I'm not, still happy go lucky.
Life is just too short to be depressed. Maybe it is the newest latest greatest thing to be?
Just too much angst.

[TonyMetal___86]

It's not about being depressed as much as a man can't trust women these days anymore...

[Anonymous]

Well my mother died recently. That kinda has a way of bringing me down. I can't speak for other guys. Maybe they have (SAD) Seasonal Affective Disorder?

[Asker]

I'm so sorry about your mother. But you're probably right but I think they have been depressed for a long time now.

[Opinion Owner]

Have they always been this way? Be honest with yourself.

[Asker]

Well one is newly depressed and the other has always kind of been depressed.

[Opinion Owner]

Well I used to know a girl when I was younger that I always used to dump my problems on. One day she absolutely blasted me verbally for it. And it's a good thing she did because otherwise I'd have kept doing it.
This is not just a cute story. I'm trying to say that we have to teach people how to treat us sometimes. Because sometimes some people (some guys) are not smart enough to realize you are not thier dumping ground. Caring about someone has a limit when they push thier problem dumping too far.

[Asker]

I mean that's very true. Thank you.

[Zionne]

maybe because of too much social media, it may have negative effects on someone's perception

[BADGER44]

id say it sucks in america. so many men haters all over the place. never seen it so bad

[OlderAndWiser]

I'm not depressed. I'm happy as a hog in slop.

[Asker]

That's good.

[OlderAndWiser]

[Nikki1989]

Nope. Everyone I know is happy.

[jazzy34]

You’ve obviously never heard of mental illness.

[Anonymous]

Life is worse than it was.

[jahaims]

Poor cultural and societal values

[Anonymous]

Because we live in very depressive times.
