More than half of American men say they just grin and bear it when they don’t feel well.
That’s according to a survey of 2,000 men which found that many feel uncomfortable discussing their health due to privacy concerns (61%), embarrassment (39%) or fear of feeling less “manly” (17%).
The study conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Rugiet Health also found that men are least comfortable discussing obesity (10%) and depression (10%). It also found that more than six in 10 men said they will feel either insecure in themselves (63%) or lonely (61%) at least occasionally.
