Gender inequality unfortunately also affects men, although it may be less obvious. Social norms often do not allow men to be truly vulnerable, to reveal their feelings and show that they too are bloody under the skin. And even if it doesn't seem like it, they are actually emotional and vulnerable, although they successfully hide it. How to recognize a man who has a broken heart?
Men carry a heavy burden, yes they should not show their emotions too often. To a much lesser extent than women, society allows them to be vulnerable, sad, broken. The man who cries is still a sign of weakness for many people, that's why some people prefer to suppress their emotions - but this is the way to deal with problems unhealthy for the individual and harmful to his intimate relationships.
There are certain signs by which you could recognize that the man has a broken heart. These do not prove that this is the ONLY truth, but they are an important cue, to talk to the person who behaves like this (as you will learn below) and offer them space to say how feels.
5 signs that a man has a broken heart:
Body language
It's harder to match body language to the truth than what you say with words. If a man waves his hands a lot, forces a smile, stands depressed, ... there is a high probability that he something bothers you. It is not necessary that he will want to talk about his problems .. and that too must be respected. However, in such moments it is extremely important if you at least offer him a safe environment where he can come and confess if he feels like it.
He closes in on himself.
If the man it completely closes in on itself and pretends nothing is wrong, v but he just went through some difficult things in his life, there's a good chance he's actually suffering quite a bit.
He pretends everything is fine.
A man who has just lost a significant other, is grieving – even if he doesn't show it. If he pretends that everything is fine, at the same time, he actively avoids talking about the difficult situation, defense mechanisms may be at work. There's nothing wrong with that, but this kind of behavior is it's not healthy in the long run – one day he will have to face the loss and regret it.
He falls into bad habits.
If you are not in touch with yourself, when you are sad and suffering, this energy is likely to manifest in other areas of your life - and one possible way is through behavior. If a man falls into bad habits that lead him into a vicious circle, when he experiences brief moments of redemption, then he feels guilty, and then he is again looking for quick solutions from his pain, something honestly hurts him.
He avoids people who are close to him.
It is more difficult to lie to a man who knows you well than to himself. If a man has a broken heart and deals with it can't face, it can happen, it will happen avoided people close to him. And it is precisely these persons who will first notice that something is wrong and they will faced with it.
