I see this as a side effect of the ideals toxic masculinity puts forth. I was under that for a long time and I'm still learning through therapy how to express myself properly, because it was simply drilled into me that men don't express feelings besides rage, that anything else you feel is "weakness," that it's important to remain stoic and focused in all situations, etc.

I mean yeah it makes you really valuable in certain situations but it also makes your daily life hell.
