Opening up as a man is so embarrassing

[thosta]

Been “depressed” for a while and I had a pretty good plan for my end. I have been drinking a LOT recently just to numb everything out. A couple days ago I was super drunk and actually “reached out” to two friends. Which wasn’t in my plan.

It lowkey made it better (still drinking tho) but I feel like they see me as even more of a pussy now.

Would there have been any other ways to actually reach out to someone as a man without being a pussy

No real way to do that without seeming weaker in the other persons eyes since it quite literally is just a display of weakness.
Not that it's wrong to be weak, but it's like expecting to not bleed when you cut yourself.

Easiest way is to get fucked on some drugs, vent/trauma-dump then if you ever feel cringe/weak afterwards you can blame it on the drugs as a way to preserve ego.

I've been feeling the same for a while and still can't find a way to vent without feeling like a pussy or being seen as one.

Just sucks because you’re a pussy either way. If you rope = pussy because a man is supposed to “thug it out”. And actually doing something about it = pussy cuz a man would bottle it up.

Probably just gonna get drunk and stop caring for what they see me as

I mean in the eyes of normies & most of society, yeah you'll be a pussy, but that only really means jack when you're an overly-sensitive, overly-caring person in the first place.

Just put yourself first, who cares what they think.
Letting go and letting it all spill out is very freeing, plus it'll show you that you're not all that important to others.
It's fine to be a mess and over-share since most people are way too self-absorbed to give an actual shit in the first place anyways.

It's so true. I feel like a piece of shit who's bothering everyone and trying to get attention

Shit like this is why being a man is harder than a woman. I myself had a breakdown on Sunday or Monday? And let’s just say I couldn’t and WONT tell any of my male friends about this shit. My mum knows but that’s about it

Why because I refuse to let anybody other than her see me in such a pathetic state crying like some bitch

Never ever ever Ever EVER
