Yeah there's this weird mindset in the manosphere that anger "doesn't count" as an emotion but crying does. But honestly ugly crying while eating ice cream every once in a while is potentially less destructive than getting angry and either destroying something or hurting someone.
Imo we should encourage men to talk about their feelings more, the status quo where men are discouraged from being emotional at all only leads to men hurting themselves or others. Ain't healthy for anyone, y'all.
Just because someone can't point out the one exact thing that's wrong doesn't mean there isn't a cause. Maybe there are multiple things wrong, a complex web of issues in which you can't just point out the one.
And is it really more logical to break your screen in a fit of anger because you died in a video game than crying because of complex factors such as relationship problems or your socioeconomic situation?

In my experience, if you ask a visibly troubled person close to you what's wrong, and that person has ANY reason to believe you're caring the slightest bit about what they would say, they will tell you.
100% agreed! I don't understand where this "what's wrong?" "nothing" stereotype about women comes from. Most people will tell you if you're close to them. If people around you hesitate to tell you about their problems, you might want to do a bit of introspection as to why they don't trust you enough to share instead of blaming them or calling them illogical and whatnot.
