Where are the support structures for men?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognise, name, and regulate your own emotions, and then communicate them in healthy and constructive ways. Many men struggle to express emotions beyond anger or sadness, not because they lack depth, but because they have been socialised to suppress their inner experiences and were never given the language to reflect on them. This emotional silence is harmful, both to men themselves and to the relationships they try to build with others. In this context, the growing loneliness epidemic is not surprising. I think now is the time to acknowledge that being human includes vulnerability, and that it is both acceptable and necessary.
