This is a sister piece to “I’m fine”. It represents the idea of a man in a heterosexual relationship wanting to be there for their female partner. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it can become controlling to some degree. When I get controlled, I go a little crazy. Communication is so important. There is a way that we can communicate with each other and be helpful without trying to place someone's pain in specific boxes in order to understand it. My pain isn’t someone else's problem or thing to solve, it’s as simple as just being present. Dude’s don’t get that.
