Real men don't say "I feel"!!!

I feel like the OP is trying to say only fictional men are real men. Like... is this a joke thread? I don't get it

 

well that's pretend, isn't it? I mean they're portraying our heroes, yes. But try to remove their behaviors from yours. Don't allow yourself to be that live action hero and don't be afraid to use "I Feel" statements.

 

Having a penis does not exempt one from having emotions

 

I feel that you are right!

 

Iv'e Been A Bit "Off Colour" The Last Day Or So.......But.....I'm "Feeling Myself" Again Today.......



Cheers Glen.

 

as a female I think you are right to feel that way as a man.

 

some things your feelings do not matter. No ones feelings matter.

 

I feel that your feelings are valid

 

Real men are pussys

 

I think the argument is that having emotions exempts one from having a penis. Or whatever the argument is. I literally can't tell.

 

No, they're just easy reference examples.

 

Ah the age old question of which came first, the penis or the utter void of emotion

 

I guess guys are taught to suppress emotions so much that it's like second nature. Emotions become like something you could probably see out of the corner of your eye if you focused on it, but goes unnoticed otherwise.

I guess every group has pressure to repress or project appearances. I envy those who rise above the bull.

 

I feel, that although these "I Feel" statements are relatively second nature to me due to my heavy and extended participation in family/group therapy during my youth, as well as personal therapy sessions in which I adopted their use of my own accord some years and years later, that these "I Feel" statements must feel cold and mechanical to anyone else.

I can see why you don't like "I Feel" statements, and wouldn't hold it against you if you chose not to use them.

I think the point, though, is a reasonably important one. Firstly, it's easier to understand feedback from a person who is using an "I Feel" statement; especially if it's instead of the emotionally irresponsible blaming we typically do, such as "You did ____" or even "I have a right to be angry because ____" which are less easily digested. This is not meant as an affront on your psychology. Secondly, I think "I Feel" statements help to bring us together. One person uses "I Feel" and the other realizes (by listening to what is said) that the person using it isn't attacking them, but rather is trying to work on the relationship outside the box. The person using "I Feel" is being responsible with their feelings for one thing, and is attempting to share and communicate with their partner or group of peers as it were.

Only good vibes...

 

To me, "I feel" is a good way of opening a positive discussion on subjects about you have some doubts.

Clearly. you won't see too many action films where the cowboys discuss how they feel before shooting each other.

 

lol I would say that was an unfair stereotype but yet, here this thread is

 

of course not, it's the testicles that do that.

 

Balls are weird.

 

Real men say whatever the hell they want!!!!
