Beautiful. Is there someone here who knows wich accent he speaks?

It's from Liverpool UK, the most passionate people in the country

That is the thickest accent I ever heard. Somehow it makes the message even more poignant.

I really don't like Paddy as a fighter but holy shit he is really hard to hate as a person.

my dislike stems from how much money I lost on his first ufc fight. I have a problem and it isn't just alcohol...

Yeah the patriarchy or whatever you want to call it is just as toxic to men. I'm glad I went to therapy and got emotionally vulnerable.

An enforced hegemonic ideal of masculinity. It's damaging as all hell. No one should have to bury their feelings or their friends bc of them

Speak to someone. Get medicated. It helps. Take it from someone on day 4 of Lexapro.

Its not just about talking, its also about finding someone to listen. Most people just want to talk about themselves.

I don't think the issue is that men don't listen to these messages from other people, but rather that not many people listen to the men :/

That's what they tell themselves/believe. "No one will listen, no one cares." Depression is vicious that way.

Irishman here, 'Patrick', in Irish, is 'Pádraig', 'Paddy' a nickname derivative. So, while you're not wrong, the assumption isn't outrageous

I think the accent has some heavy Irish influence, but it is definitely easy to tell apart.
