Understanding gender differences in the recognition of vocal feelings have been left unclear and unsolved in its urgent times. But talking about it on the bases of our daily life experiences we can discuss it a little step further. Persons who have identified as men are the most talked about when it comes to suppressing emotions. Men's inability to voice their emotions could be the consequence of society's self-created norms. They have been systematically enfeebled from a very young age. They have been told what behavior is acceptable and what is not for a grown man.
They are always discouraged to express their vulnerabilities because people would then see them as weak. Above 35% of men have been hiding their feelings to maintain their manliness. Dear men, it's the time! Talk it out.
Way of socialisation and education
The way school boys have been taught to behave or act plays an undeniable role in unvoicing men's emotions. Predeciding what games are suitable for them, how short or long their pants should be, and their hair and mustache must be shown at this certain age let society and school education ruin innocent minds.
Family's role in communication skills
Many women have that one guy friend who immediately left the conversation or changed the topic when they spoke about menstruation or other girly kinds of stuff. Even they hesitated to speak about masturbation because they came from a family that did not allow them to talk about these things. Families who ask their daughters to hide their sanitary pads and innerwear from men in the house have made men's conversation weird and sometimes cringe.
Have been shamed before when talked
One of the hidden yet very obvious reasons for men not opening up is they have already been shamed about talking their emotions outward. This is why they prefer to remain silent rather than feel insulted in front of everyone. Some men suffer from low self-esteem due to suppression of emotions. Inferiority, and thinking something is wrong with them are the other results of not letting them talk out or express what they strongly feel.
