I think you just answered your own question
This is kinder what most ppl here end up doing and myself included.
I have mates that I would never talk about emotional stuff to. manly cos I don't think they would understand.
I do think its easier to talk to a girl about stuff like this aspeshaly when your both hugged up lovey-dovey together.
I am the sort of guy that would hug a Friend even if it was another guy. But I hear what your saying. I do have friends like you that would not feel very comfortable in talking like that. I never used to be so open about how I feel. Now days though if something is bothering me I say. I have learnt that to be open about how you feel no matter how GAY it might seem is the best way for me to be.
I feel emotional attachment to the friends I have. Just cos I have emotional attachment doesn't mean I wont to be jumping into bed with them though. I think you have to first find good friends to feel any kind of attachment. That is the most difficult bit. To find good friends that is.
The way I see it is a good friend would wont to listen and to try and help in anyway he could. I am guessing that you would feel uncomfortable if a friend come to you and started puring he's hart out to you? I think its this train of thought you have to change. It is OK for two guys to have an emoshnal discussion. And why them two guys are probably not going to tell the rest of the world that they are close enough to had done that it dose happen a lot moor then you think. Most guys well have girlfriends come and go be for they find
the one. You well have a few friends hopefully that well had stayed with you all your life. Its them friends that normally pick up the Peace's for you when things are looking a bit grim in your love life.
I mean you have to unload the emosional crap that gets into your head somewhere. If you can not do that with a friend then where else can you? The emosional stuff might even be from a girl your with at any given time. Its normal to go to a friend and say something like she is doing my head in cos...blar...blar...blar. And when you do this dose she do that act. You know stuff that's privet that you need to talk about. If you feel weird talking to your friends like this then you ether do not have the right kinder friends or you have a problem with in your self that needs addressing. It dose show I think insecurities about yourself when you can not even be honest with your closest friends. Of course if your say under 25 then it just could be that your young. And like most young men don't wont to come across as weak.
I still think a good old talk with someone like a psychiatrist might do you a lot of good to realize where your at. I think you would walk away from as little as one or two settings knowing a lot moor about yourself
I say one or two cos you already seem to know yourself quite well. You just seem to need for someone to confirm what you already know
This is what a good friend would do. A psychiatrist may make you see that you already have that support network there, just that your not yet using it.
