Causes of anxiety in men

　　When men reach middle age, their burdens will become very heavy. They will face dual pressures from family and society, which will lead to anxiety. Let’s take a look at what causes such great anxiety.

　　1.Career

　　Keywords: silence

　　Expert analysis: For many middle-aged men, career achievements are the most important thing at this time. When faced with difficulties in their careers, they choose to deal with them with silence and avoidance. Coupled with inner depression, they are unable to see the relationship between things and are prone to making wrong judgments and even extreme behaviors. In serious cases, they may even choose suicide as a method of escape. Especially now that we are in the midst of the global financial crisis, the careers of quite a few people are going downhill. As middle-aged men, they will not choose to share and talk about their experiences with the people around them, but will suppress all the problems in their hearts. This will create a vicious cycle and lead to extreme things happening.

　　Case: Forty-one-year-old Liu has been suffering from insomnia recently. His colleagues are discussing that the company may launch large-scale layoffs and reduce expenditures in response to the economic crisis. Liu has been in the company for ten years and has finally reached the position of supervisor. At this time in previous years, what he considered most was the size of the year-end bonus. But now he is more worried about whether he will be fired. His subordinates, Zhang San and Li Si, have been working hard recently, and there is a danger that he may be replaced at any time. There is no way to tell this kind of thing to my wife, because she can't help anyway, and might nag and make trouble; parents can't tell it, the elderly can't stand the stimulation; I can't tell my friends, it's too shameful. He even lost interest in his previous habit of complaining online, and he no longer even had the desire to talk.

　　2.Family

　　Keywords: pressure

　　Expert analysis: If men over 40 years old start a family early and their children become teenagers or even adults, they need to bear a greater financial burden, and this pressure is often an important reason for family changes. Men who have entered middle age are unwilling to admit the reality that they are getting older. They will try to prove through emotions that they still have the ability to conquer. However, at the same time, they are unwilling to destroy the stability of the family, so they tend to choose one-night stands, nightclubs, etc. At the same time, due to social reasons, the age gap between men over forty and their wives is usually relatively small, and their wives may also have a "midlife crisis." The chances of conflicts between the two parties are greatly increased, which can become the fuse of family changes.
