Some call it a friendship recession: a time when close male friendships sink to their lowest. Here’s how friendships for straight men fall to the wayside – and what could bring them together
There’s a lot of people out there with mental health issues. Poor mental health doesn’t discriminate and doesn’t really target a single group. What’s important to myself is that people are aware of their own health, honest about it and make an effort to deal with it in their own way.
I tend to find queer people to be a lot more open and accepting of others and their differences in general. Especially in comparison to the straight people who I’ve been around in my personal experiences.
Also, I have Autism and ADHD. I’ve stumbled through life and the people who I’ve felt the closest connections with also had differenly wired brains. The queer people I have met accept me just as I am.
I know I’d have more friends who identified as straight if they learned how to love themselves and care for their overall health. I can also say that about practically any other group of people as well.
However I can appreciate the uphill struggle to love a queer self in a straight dominated world. That’s a steep hill to climb and most people are doing it with very little support. It’s easy to see how some people just can’t mentally handle it.
