I would call it the “I can handle it” mask. This mask gives off the impression that the workload that Im enduring doesn’t really phase me… but it does. I THINK, “the more I can handle, the more people will look up to me as a man” This mentality limits me from asking for help, especially in times where I really need it, which results in unnecessary stress and overworking myself. I think a lot of guys struggle with asking for help because we think it’s a sign of weakness. I’m beginning to realize, it’s the complete opposite
