It has been found that men with warm, close relationships live longer, have less chronic diseases, and have better health on average. These many years of research revealed a correlation between men’s social/emotional health and physical health. One particular study from Harvard has been running for 8 decades, focusing on the physical and emotional lives of men. We are getting a clearer picture of the negative effect this social isolation is having on men’s health. Men’s shrinking social connections has become a well researched and documented phenomenon. I am like a lone wolf- sometimes near others but always on the outskirts. I wish I had more close friends like I did when I was a kid, but it just feels impossible now. Man: I feel silly saying this, but I feel sad. I also have some men in the second and third circle, but they are really more casual friends and acquaintances with the husbands of deeper friendships my wife has with their wives.Ĭounselor: How do you feel now looking at this diagram? I have some guys I interact with a lot at work, but we rarely share anything personal or emotional. In the next circle, I have some family members, but our conversations usually stay pretty surface level. But, he and I really only talk once a month or so, but when we do, it’s just like old times. Man: In my inner circle, I only have two people- my wife and my best friend since 5th grade. Man: (After a few seconds of silence) I see very few names.Ĭounselor: Can you tell me a little about the people you did write down? The conversation I have next commonly sounds something like this:Ĭounselor: What stands out to you as you look at these circles? There are often very few names written down in any of the circles, with the fewest in the inner circle. A striking pattern arises as I do this exercise with men. Then, who would they put in the next circle outside of that, those that they feel close to, but not as strongly as their inner circle. I ask them to write the first names of those people they would put in their inner circle, meaning those people that they confide in the most and feel the closest too. I often ask them to draw three concentric circles, like a bullseye, to represent their social support. In nearly all these conversations, I ask the men about their social support system- who are their friends and family members with whom they are close. ![]() OMG 2 box office collection day 3: Akshay Kumar film ends first weekend on a high, rakes in Rs 43.As a pastor and professional counselor, I have had the privilege over the past 20 years to have many men confide in me about their inner lives.‘We have challenges on that front…’: Rahul Dravid identifies key area for Team India to improve after T20I series defeat.Barbie has legs: Greta Gerwig’s film tops box office again and gives industry a midsummer surge.Rajeev Ravi presents Amal Prasi’s Baakki Vannavar: A feature film made on a budget of Rs 12,000.Daily Briefing: No let-up in IAF operations in eastern Ladakh VHP’s yatra to resume in Nuh Idea Exchange with Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and more.But we were fortunate enough to intervene at the right time and in spite of taking two chances, the IED didn’t go off.” I have dealt with such cases… in one of them, in which dark net was used, instructions were sent, targets were chosen online.
