Psychology suggests men who are deeply unhappy in life but hide it well aren't being strong - they're running a performance that costs them every real connection they have, and the people closest to them almost never see it coming - Silicon Canals

Men often mask their depression with busyness and distraction, making it difficult to recognize their true emotional state.

What Depression in Men Really Looks Like

When we think of clinical depression, we usually think of sadness, anxiety, poor motivation, the "blahs," guilt, and negativity. These all have the negative inclination that characterizes depression. We may also think of women as they are subject to depression more often than men. Depression in adult men is frequently quite different. As an example: A man who is usually calm and even tempered, becomes irritable, prone to anger, criticism, disparaging remarks and cynicism. He does not show emotions such as sadness, pessimism and guilt.
