WHY STRESSED MEN WON'T TALK

A woman talks outside her head, that is you can hear her whereas a man talks inside his head. He doesn't have strong brain areas for speech so this suits his mindset. When he has a problem, he talks to himself while she talks to other people.

This is why when under pressure of problems or stress, a man will clam up and stop talking. He uses his right brain to try to solve his problems or find solutions and he stops using his right brain to listen or speak. His brain can only do "one thing at a time".

He can't solve problems and listen or talk simultaneously. This silence is often distressing and frightening for a woman. A woman says to her husband, son or brother, 'come on, you've got to talk about it! You'll feel better!. She says this because this is what works for her but a man wants to be left alone because he firegaze until he comes up with some solution and answers, he doesn't want to talk to anyone about, especially a therapist because he sees that as a major sign of weakness.

Agility to talk or argue lies in the hands of women; even if they are in distress, tired, etc. Stressed men mostly say "am tired, we'll see tomorrow". All these have its effect, sometimes as humans,we need to keep quiet and think and sometimes we need to loud out whatever that is bothering us.
