So a large variety of reddit males believe that opening up to a woman is dangerous because it will inevitably lead to their vulnerability being used against them.

Fair enough, I’m not here to discredit their experiences.

My question is why don’t they just talk to their male friends then? If women are a no-go why would you open up to them and not your male friends? Why not just talk to other men?

I saw one user say “I don’t want to burden them, they probably have their own stuff going on” and women don’t? Please talk to EACH OTHER.

Sorry, the number of times men/exes have turned a conversation where they’ve done something wrong into a trauma dump to explain/absolve their behaviour has left me with a short fuse.

“The reason I shit on the floor and spread my fecal matter around on the walls, I don’t feel like I’m worth anything unless I produce something or succeed at something, I’m scared of commitment because deep down I feel like I’m not a good person, my dad left when I was 6 and my mom yelled a lot growing up, I don’t feel like she’s ever proud of me, I’m addicted to porn, and and and”

???

And then I have to sit there and listen so I don’t come across an asshole? Oh, you spread shit on MY walls but now I have to comfort YOU?

I’m not looking for a life-history. I’m looking for an apology and an eloquent explanation for how you will go about not repeating the same behaviour. I’m not Dr. Phil lmao. Sorry, I will direct you to a therapist. I pay for one, you can too.

Go call your homie bro.

Anyway, I’ll just leave this here:
