Nonsense, we are finally recognising that men are equally vulnerable as women psychologically and all that macho BS is just that. When you place great value and importance on something and it starts to crumble away from you then you are going to suffer emotionally. Some people can self manage it, some cant. For those that cant having someone who can help you through it can literally be a matter of life and death, but the first step is being ok to say I'm not coping and not feel belittled or stigmatised because of that.

I was a mental health nurse and worked with many WW2 vets when they were old and trust me they were just as vulnerable when they came home but society didn't make it ok to admit that so they drank, beat up their wives or kids or stepped in front of trains as a coping mechanism. We should be grateful society is changing, there but for the grace of god go I and all that......

you are a soft boiled googy egg. plenty of people face great dramas in their lives, death, abuse, starvation, and they don't curl up in the corner and sook it up that its all too hard. You are in charge of YOU. We have a fight or flight mechanism in all of us and you have to understand, there are actually times in your life where you have to stand up and fight for who you are and what you believe in and crying on television is not going to do you any good.

You have to work hard and even then you don't get everything your own way. and I'm not talking about pampered sportsmen who are on massive amounts of money for their status in life, I'm talking about the local Sri Lankan shell service station manager who has to get up at 4.30am every morning and drive an hour to his job and open up the shop and work to about 3pm in the afternoon and send his money back to his family in Sri Lanka to make sure his sisters can get married. Every day he gets up at 4.30 in the morning and works a long shift so

or what about the owner of the city gym who has spent his life savings and gone into massive debt to buy the gym just prior to Covid and now no one goes into the City any more and he has lost his business and lost his house and subsequently his wife has left him and he doesn't see his kids, all over a situation that he had no control over and is horribly frustrated.

All these things happen every day.

But the only person who can pick up the pieces of your life and rebuild it is YOU

I'd love to know more about this Sri Lankan chap.

I thought it was poor form from the media bringing his dad into it which triggered the breakdown.
Hope the young man bounces back, but I'm not sure he'll get the right support at Canterbury. He already was moved on from a club who had the right support. Time will tell.

I think it was poor form from Canterbury to put him up there to answer questions...

Jokes and alt characters are one thing Roy, but you’re currently stepping on precarious ground.

Maybe keep the schtick away from suicide. It’s a genuine issue, and if you’d ever lost someone important to suicide you wouldn’t make light of it.

All people in our society need to know they are able to reach out if they are struggling, without being fearful that they will be mocked for their lack of resilience.

Don’t be that guy.

Men have suffered throughout history. Vast empires have been built and destroyed on the back of brave men's backs, Slaves and navies have risen and fallen as have kings and their armies. Young men have seen catastrophic destruction and taken incredible physical beatings as a matter of course, as part of their normal lives. Boys have been ripped from their mothers wombs and been put into service to work from the ages of 13 or 14, doing horrible manual labour for long days, every day without ever having a break or no one ever recognising the induvial. Men have been beaten and broken to create the wealth and growth of humanity through ut the world. Pain and suffering have been normalised as a way of life so that there is absolutely no joy in anything any man has ever undertaken by vast empires who control the mindset of generations of men who were never given the opportunity to express even the slightest question or doubt without them being assassinated or made an example of. And you want me to feel sorry for an ordinarily talented half back named Kyle Flanagan being paid over $600k a year to play 2 hours of football a week, because one or two things don't go exactly his way when he wants it?

Fight Man....Fight!

We have ourselves a Karen lol

 

[Rugged Rigid Robust Roy]

I'm the opposite of a Karen. That's the whole point of the advice I am giving!

No you may think you are, but the rest of the world sees you as someone being irrational and ranting. True Karen.

 

[Rugged Rigid Robust Roy]

A Karen is a crying heap of a person, I'm talking about mental strength.

To come over adversity.

 

[Hawkins]

In Roys house, everybody works. No free rides

 

[Rugged Rigid Robust Roy]

work to win, despair is sin, the best may fall to rise again, work conquers all!

Nope a Karen is someone who is irrational, unreasonable and rants very loudly without making any real sense with opinions that fly in the face of best known science of the day. Ergo you are a Karen lol.

 

[Rugged Rigid Robust Roy]

I get it, you define anyone you don't like as a Karen. That's just Normal modern trolling - when you can't win an argument then attack the person and not what they say!

 

[Hawkins]

I fear I am outmatched in this conversation. I'm off to make fun of the Dragons
