Used to be no one.

Now, I call my pop or my brothers. My pop is my spiritual and financial advisor. If I call him, I know he’s going to have the answers; whether it’s him being in the position I’ve been in before or with a word from the good book. He’s also bailed me out of some situations where I needed a big financial backing. For so long, my pride wouldn’t let me call him, but I’ll always cling onto something he always told me when I was in college, “don’t be up there struggling and in need of some help and not let ya daddy know. I’ll go broke for both you and your brother.” He helped me when I went through my breakup.

My brothers also help me out. I been blessed to have some strong men in my corner.

My mama also is a good ear for certain things. She can’t help me through them all, but she’s gone Point me in the direction I need to go for help.

What’s sad is, I’m not even sure how a man would develop the framework to ask for help in the first place :francis:

Unless a nikka broke, homeless, or clearly depressed, how do you know you need help before you snap :jbhmm:

Unlike the guys in that vid, we've got eachother here, the COLI.


The brothahood here is skrong.


Sometimes, even the ladies chime in their with two cents.


It's a great environment/dynamic we have, even with all the angry posters, the quality heads outweigh the Negative Normans and Deborah Debacles (uncle Tom Thibodeaux called me fakkit last week cuz i didn't agree with his music stances and Nicole is gonna nicole/spends a lot of time trying to defame me... but i'm a nutcase myself, so good luck with that - hopefully they both find jesus).



.

I don't really call people when I am feeling down.

Every now and then I will post my woes on here and that seems to help. Even if the Brehs just clown me and tell me my ex is in their bathroom as we type.

So. Agreed

Even when you vent to someone what are they really going to do to fix your situation? 9/10 they are just going to run their mouth about it to a bunch of people that you didn't want in your business....who also can't/won't do a damn thing to help you

Brothers of the coli, do y’all lend an ear to your bros who may be dealing with something?
I talk to my bros but the difference between men and women is that when a man wants to talk about what he's going through, he's not trying to download his negative feelings onto you, he's looking for advice, encouragement or an activity to distract him.

Women get mad at you if youre offering advice. They want to talk just to talk so I've gotten adept at asking early on "what is it that you think you need right now?" When they tell me about their problem.

First instinct is always to solve the problem but they want to talk until they feel like its no longer something on their mind or they want to get into an argument with you to distract them from their pain. I just ask them "what do you think you need right now?" And if they say "I don't know" then I just say "your answers will come in time" and stay silent. They usually change the topic afterwards. Thats just my experience.
