Even in this day and age most Black men would clown you and call you weak and a cac for trying to seek mental help via therapy (just see the replies in this thread) but nobody on this board is ready for that type of discussion.
This is not true. Of course there is some type stigma associated with going to see a therapist. However, it’s nowhere as big as y’all make it seem. I got a big circle of friends and all we do is clown each other. I’m talking about non stop. In person, in the group text, etc… Calling nikkas sensitive, calling nikkas gay, calling nikkas ugly, etc… But ain’t no one ever gonna clown anyone for seeing a therapist to they face or amongst each other.
Last week I literally just told one of my partners he needs to go see a therapist. The nikka got a history of mental illness and got a psychiatrist but I don’t think he seen them in a while. He came up here and I was telling breh he needed to get it together. He was like, that’s why I came up here cause I knew you would keep it real with me. I was like yeah, but you got real mental illness issues so you need to go to your psychiatrist as well.
I don’t think the average black man is gonna clown you for seeking therapy. That’s simply not true.
