On my blog I have a feature called QLQ — Quean Life Queries — where readers anonymously submit questions on topics of sexy travel, ethical non-monogamy, pleasure activism, and more. I don’t normally share them on Medium; however, this one felt important…
Why are men so desperately lonely and craving attention?
This QLQ comes from a cis-gendered, heterosexual male.
Before I dive into this, I want you to know this article covers topics surrounding mental health, mental illness, and suicide. If you find these topics triggering, feel free to skip this one.
You may be wondering why I’m starting off the New Year on such a heavy topic. The holidays can be some of the loneliest moments for people, and amplify certain aspects of mental illness. I believe that during a time many of us consider exciting and celebratory, we need to be reminded that there are people who are doing their absolute best to make it to the other side. So, as you read this, whether you are someone dealing with mental health issues or know someone who is, you/they are not alone.
