    TIL my friendships with my bros are about 5x healthier than average.

    I read this thought it sounded super melodramatic and exaggerated. I guess it’s just more rare to have deep friendships with the boys. Looking back it got me thinking that I might be the weird one with friends that have deep conversations and know/worry about the others mental health.

    So i guess, to any guys that read this and felt like it could have been written about them: go out on a limb and talk to your friends. Chances are they want/need a more meaningful friendship too. They are also probably similarly apprehensive about opening up.

      I’m with you. Guys are much easier to talk to about a lot of things.

      Though girls are easier in some ways.

      Talk to a girl about an insecurity and she will beat you with it. Worried about being small oh just join a gym even if you go all the time. Worried about being short, oh I wouldn’t ever dream of dating someone shorter than me but there are girls out there who are shorter than you so try with them. Worried about low pay, oh you will get paid more in the future and then you will have worth. Anything like that girls are awful.

      Missing something like a dead relative or ex. Girls tend to be better with that.

      If you feel sad or talk to girls if you feel vulnerable or want help solving a problem talk to boys.
