Yeah, most guys don't often talk about their feelings.
I had a best friend from elementary school all the way up through most of my high school. I am certain now that he became very depressed over the last few years of our friendship due to loneliness and not having a girlfriend. I didn't have a girlfriend either, so we were pretty much in the same boat there but I handled things differently than he did; I had a more strong-willed personality than he did.
He had never had a girlfriend before. I had (kind of), but was just waiting for someone to come along that I liked again... I wasn't desperate or self-loathing like he was. I was okay with the person I knew I was.
I think that was the main difference between us and why we eventually grew apart. I haven't talked to him in years, but I still think about him now and then. I hope you're doing alright old friend... Sorry we couldn't stay friends.
IIN for a teen guy to be overly stressed/depressed?
