I think a lot of women can struggle in workplace as feel they need to match men. So they put up just as much of a front being tough and can suffer from imposter syndrome. I work with a lot of female managers and some have confided in me and even broken down in catch ups. I know I am a bit old school but also believe most women like their man to be the protector ie not a wimp, despite what they may say. That puts pressure on men to be all things ie tender and macho

Tbh most of what I read or listened to was prior to his massive rise to fame. I heard he became ill but as I had heard most of what he said already dint really keep up with the news and other more recent interviews. When he says there are good reasons for some to be depressed eg being unemployed he is right. Telling someone you feel shit and worthless and inferior to others who can have access to better things isn’t the solution! Getting a job is the key way out of it.

Appreciate you sharing although seem conflicted. Presumably you wouldn’t have thought it appropriate for someone to say about your cousin that they set fire to their car giving by their dad? I think a more ‘there by the grace of God go I’ approach needs to be applied to those suffering.

I like a lot of. what Peterson has to say although a strange character. Shame his opponents seem t9 think he is the bogey man and want to pull him apart and dismiss everything he says.

He wasn’t saying that. I agree with Hypo in that talking/sharing isn’t the silver bullet many seem to think it is. Obviously bottling things up is unhealthy. You also need people who genuinely care unless it’s your therapist. if you were feeling low going to the football and having a few beers with mates, simple as it is can make you feel better about your life. I know that sounds very basic and it shouldn’t be about putting on a front when with mates but blokes are wired differently.

A little early but as we are all high on life. one of the easiest games of the season. Shame international break cause some loss of momentum. 0-2

May have been discussed earlier in the thread but what the fuck can a manager scribble down that all the Villa players were reading?

Everyone still fearing relegation?

Are Villa going to get a points deduction for fielding the suspended McGinn?

Warriors don’t get colds🤔

Live near one of these combined with being double vaccinated and you will get the mother of all colds

How dare they poach our new manager? Also don’t they know he hates the north https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59158239

Owen Paterson: Government to rethink MPs' conduct plan after backlash https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59163961 maybe they got worried by the Mail leader after all

Is this super cold you all talk off keeping you off work?

If only enough people cared. Tbf the tv news and even Tory papers lead with it but these cunts know that the news cycle moves so fast and attention span of electorate is non existent. Johnson shows himself when at PMQs that he is nasty bit of work when challenged. Embarrassing this corrupt dishonest immoral fucker is surviving leading the country. Democracy ain’t what is used to be

Did you not get much love as a child?

Yeah and it is hard to have true empathy unless suffered yourself. I haven’t as such so my advice is very limited in effectiveness but stats like fives times more likely to depressed now than in the fifties, even allowing for hidden cases, indicates that society influences and people being brought up to think they are the centre of the universe may well play a part.

I would put money on GM being Catholic

You can easily see the resilience difference in staff in their day to day absences. Some feel they cannot come in/log on as don’t feel 100% but others will dutifully come in as have a stronger sense of not letting the team down and generally more stoic approach. I do agree and that is the issue as we do see it as being weaker and therefore fewer want to put their hand up to say they are suffering. But many may be having the equivalent issues but are better at putting to one side and getting on with it.

Think bit indiscriminate with some of the post moving Lighthouse. One of mine had no insults whatsoever. Is tiresome how descended so quickly though and there is some very ocd/autistic behaviour from some.

Have you heard about the scorpion and the frog? Another thread dies

Weak bastards. Imagine you were in the trenches!

Rafa out, Nuno in. Maybe there is a club that love Rafa that are looking for a manager?

Slightly more style than Tom Davies

He has talc’d up
