No real job

...See more I have a job as a warm line operator. It is kind of like being a listener. Only it's peer to peer support. I do not do the good work I do on here since it is not anonymous. I don't get to be able to have a client open up as I do here But anyways I was an sccountant and I had a job that paid well. Being a Warmlines operator pays crap it is mostly volunteer. And it is part time. Being bipolar I have had my trouble keeping a full time job. And it is difficult being on Social Security Disability. It is not easy feeling knowing I could do more and don't.

One Issue I have as a Man is my Emotions?
by tryingtosurvive2024
Last post
 Monday
...See more I spend too much time alone.  I have spent too much time thinking about the differences between the way a woman thinks and the way a man thinks.  I have ready that women use both sides of their brains.  Left is the logical side, and the Right is the emotional side.  Where as men tend to use the left side the most, making the way He processes the world more logical.  While it might be true that I process the world in more logical manner, I can tell you for sure that I got plenty of feelings.  In recent years, I have found myself saying "I feel this or that about something". Logically I have everything I need to survive.  At least for now.  Yet emotionally I feel empty, and disconnected.  Logically it is really hard to fix my problem and I probably will never be able to fix it, and yet I don't need to fix it because I'm surviving.  At least for now.  Emotionally I feel awful about it.  And if you are not sensitive to my situation, I will emotionally become angry, or frustrated at you.  But my logic will kick back in, and it will hold back my emotions some, I will try to calm my emotions some so that I don't lash out at you. Just before I started writing this, I was thinking to myself.  What I really want is to feel happy.  I think my sexual attraction to women actually causes me some of these issues.  You want what you can't have.  When it comes to trying to find a woman, the internet is like window shopping.  You think to yourself, it would be nice to have that one, but she's not going to respond.  You don't got enough "money" to buy the product.  I don't mean literally mean money in this instance.  But in some cases one could literally mean money.  What I mean by "money" is having what it takes to make her want you back. I think my logic did a good job helping me put this into writing. Now the internal fight of truth begins.  Marriage doesn't always equal happiness.  Don't expect that Woman to make you happy.  You got to be happy single before you can be happy married.  Emotions don't care about these logical truths do they?

...See more Ok guys I need help in getting over my ex, I loved her beyond words and would have done anything for her , however though she could be loving at times she was very harsh and hurtful with her words as well as abusive both physically, emotionally and Verbally. On her worst days she made me feel like I was the worst person in the world and on her best days I was an angel. I decided to leave her even though she cried and begged but I still regret leaving her and would take her back in a heart beat. please what’s wrong with me and how can I get over this feeling?

A new Men's Issues Community already working!
by jacek73
Last post
 December 26th, 2024
...See more Hello Everybody 😊  I am not sure how exactly it works here (so I am sorry in case I did anything not very recommended), but I really disliked seeing the blank space in this Community we needed - and this message is to let you know that thanks to some efforts by many good people here at 7 Cups the Men's Issues section is already open! 😊  Despite the popular myth about men, we are not all "alpha males". We, men, are sometimes open and talkative, sometimes intelligent, sometimes thoughtful and sometimes very sensitive. We are not indifferent and we care about our lives, our partners, our children, our friends and other people around. We believe it is not the power or violence, but wisdom and love that make us men. Certainly, this Community is also not going to be any "men vs. the rest of the world" debate, because beside the qualities described above I believe we also tend to be self-critical, too 😉  Also, sometimes we suffer from feelings that may have their sources in events buried deep in the past. We are strong, but not indestructible. Some of us might have lost their fathers or haven't known them at all. For some of us our fathers have been alive, but not emotionally available or not setting a good example, so the only parents we have really known were our mothers or grandparents. We are humans, so we may suffer from things like depression, grief, fear or anxiety. And some of them may be connected to us trying to fulfil our positive roles in this world as men, fathers, brothers, sons or husbands, to some specific feelings we have as a result of our experiences and specific events or traumas we have been going through. I believe this is what Men's Issues Community on 7 Cups forums might be all about...

Male victims: You are not alone!

 December 19th, 2024
...See more Are you a male victim of domestic violance? You are not alone Prvalence and Misconceptions Underreporting: Male victims often underreport abuse due to stigma, shame, and societal expectations of masculinity. Men may feel pressure to "tough it out" or fear they won't be believed. Prevalence: Studies suggest that men experience domestic violence at rates comparable to women. According to some reports, nearly 1 in 4 men experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at some point in their lives. Misconceptions: There's a stereotype that men can't be victims of domestic violence, especially when the abuser is a woman. This belief can prevent male victims from recognizing abuse or seeking help. Types of Abuse Experienced by Men Physical Abuse: Hitting, slapping, pushing, or using weapons against men. Emotional and Psychological Abuse: Insults, belittling, manipulation, gaslighting, and isolation from friends or family. Sexual Abuse: Forced sexual acts or coercion. This form of abuse is rarely discussed when it comes to male victims, but it exists. Financial Abuse: Controlling access to money, sabotaging employment, or forcing a man to hand over his income. Legal Abuse: Threatening to make false accusations of abuse, manipulating the legal system to gain custody of children, or making false reports to the police. Barriers to Seeking Help Shame and Stigma: Men may feel that admitting abuse is a sign of weakness. Fear of Not Being Believed: Law enforcement, courts, and even friends or family may not believe that a man can be a victim.

...See more If you are a man and you have been a victim of emotional, physical or sexual abuse your situation is real and valid. It is not shameful. Your situation is valid. Men deserve love and support. Men can be as vulnerable as women.

Men aren’t loved the right way.

...See more Men aren’t loved the right way. Majority of us are unaware of how to love a man.  We assume that MEN :-  🚩 don’t have much needs.  🚩 can take care of themselves. 🚩 should only provide for us.  How badly conditioned we are.  What I really believe is that MEN :-  💁🏻♂️ need as much love as women.  💁🏻♂️ love to be nurtured & taken care of.  💁🏻♂️ have emotional needs they never talk about.  💁🏻♂️ crave for commitment (just like women).  💁🏻♂️ desire for a secure & a loving woman.  💁🏻♂️ love to provide & protect.  💁🏻♂️ love to be encouraged & supported.  💁🏻♂️ love to be recognised for their uniqueness.  💁🏻♂️ love to be treated with respect.  💁🏻♂️ crave for a safe space to express themselves. Women must heal themselves, become secure and love men the way they truly deserve.  Also, men must heal too to become open & receptive to love that comes their way.

Where are our MEN heading to?
by yashggorani

 December 3rd, 2024
...See more Where are our MEN heading to?  Who are they becoming?  Many men are disconnected from their hearts.  Many men are only living in their minds.  Many men are slaves of power, ambition & money.  Many men are extremely harsh on themselves. Many men are carrying past emotional baggage. Many men are emotionally unavailable to themselves. Many men are unaware of self-love & self-care. Many men are neglecting their emotional needs. Many men are prioritising everyone except themselves.  Many men are hiding their true emotions.  Many men are becoming aggressive.  Many men are feeling suffocated & helpless.  Many men are burdened by responsibilities.  It’s time for men to go through drastic inner changes and heal their hearts on priority.  PS : Do you think that men must heal now? ❤️
