Depression culture came from sons getting babied too much and not being disciplined to be strong ambition young menI knew it, "LOVE" is overrated. I am happy that I grew up with toughness in my family. There was no love or sweet words.
I was told from a young age, "This is a cold world, get accustomed to it or die"
I am here Alhamdullilah and I have never been depressed in my 26 years in this life. I dont sweet talk others and I don't except others to sweet talk me.
This depression culture comes from families with love in their center and focus. Anything extreme can be bad, even love. Harsh environments creates strong and able people. Your brother needed sandals and belts as presents, not hugs and kisses. Dysfunctional families creates strong children.
