Fear of looking gay or like a girl as a reason for not offering support for mental ill health

I've done this myself. To some people who needed support but were part of a masculine-type relationship. I didn't want to seem effeminate.

I'm somewhat different in that I don't feel totally inadequate when offering support. I think that's a factor too. I still feel inadequate when offering support though.

Wouldn't that be an interesting thing? Training people to be ok supporting other people and perhaps training people to take support rather than drugs and therapists.

Bah. What do I know? I'm just a posh, drunk tramp.
