Most men don’t even realize how often they hide behind “I’m fine.”
It feels safer than opening up. It feels easier than explaining.
But that mask is quietly wrecking your relationships far more than you think.
When you say “I’m fine,” what your nervous system is really saying is
“I don’t feel safe enough to let you in.”
And the people around you feel that.
It shuts down connection.
It keeps your partner guessing.
It turns small misunderstandings into distance, resentment, and disconnection.
Emotional safety is not created by pretending you’re okay.
It’s created by learning how to regulate your system so you can actually show up with clarity instead of shutting down or exploding.
This is the work men were never taught.
And it is why so many relationships fall apart even when both people care.
