What were you taught a man was supposed to be?

That is the question for today.

In this short episode of The Men’s Mental Health Series, I want you to think about the messages you picked up growing up about masculinity.

Maybe those messages were taught to you directly.

Maybe they came from family, friends, school, sports, work, media, or just the culture around you.

What was a man supposed to be?

Strong?

Quiet?

Tough?

Emotionally controlled?

Independent?

A provider?

Someone who did not ask for help?

Whatever your answers are…
