@melrobbins: Bestselling author, mentor, and founder of @Cave of Adullam — a non-profit that’s been helping boys and young men for over 22 years — @Mr Jason Wilson are taught from a young age to hide what they really feel. They’ve been told they can’t be soft, vulnerable, or show the full range of their emotions. So they default to the “acceptable” ones: anger or silence. Jason’s work is about changing that. He says the key is learning to see the younger self inside the person you love — the boy or girl who still carries old hurts. When you can do that, it softens your heart, helps you give grace, and changes the way you show up in every relationship. This conversation on The Mel Robbins Podcast will change the way you communicate with the boys and men in your life. Listen now! 🎧 “The Real Reason Boys and Men Are Quietly Struggling & How to Support Them.” #melrobbins #melrobbinspodcast #emotions #openingup

This is a different version of what Bill Burr said... Men are allowed to be either angry or fine. The only two emotions we're "allowed"

For the majority of my life no one cared about anything I say until I got angry.

Most people feel like something’s wrong with the world, like the system’s rigged. But they can’t explain how. I read a book written by a former psychologist who used to work with elite-level individuals, kind you never see on the news. The book is called Money Override by Donald Black. It doesn’t just open your eyes. It shows you exactly how power and money really move… and how to change your life.

Took me so long to realize that anger was my go to emotion because I didn’t know how to express anything else

Get an emotions wheel and keep a daily diary of how you feel everyday at the same time. It’s a game changer

Also doesn't help when she gets angry that I'm angry. I'm not allowed to be angry without an angered response. I'm not allowed to feel how I feel without pushback. It's bananas.

I've said for a while that anger feels like a warm blanket. It covers everything and it's safe.
