"Globally, death by suicide occurred about 1.8 times more often among males than among females in 2008, and 1.7 times in 2015. IN THE WESTERN WORLD, MALES DIE BY SUICIDE THREE TO FOUR TIMES MORE OFTEN THAN DO FEMALES."

Talk about feelings with your mates. Also about "unmanly" stuff, about failures, about trauma.
If your "bros" call you "gay" for showing some vulnerability, and mean it in a despicable way, fuck them. They are homophobic, they are immature, and they are not your friends. Look for real friends. Seriously.

They're there for healing the wounds that toxic gender roles (e.g. toxic masculinity) inflict on it's members, and they're a starting point to challenge toxic gender roles and to shift society towards more tolerance and freedom.
