Have you guys noticed that suddenly for last two to three months a lot of boy's friendship's reels can be seen on Instagram? Those reels always talk about the infinite loving bond between two male friends. Some of them are about the closeness that exist between those two boys and some of them are about the importance of that bro in our life.
All of them intend to show us the love that we keep in our heart for our bro. But as far as i have observed, these reels are going viral because nowadays men are depressed. They are facing immense burden about their future. Men have always been brave enough to fight depression but in this era, they are just too confused.
They want to show their real potential to their family, but they can't (may be because they are unemployed, introverted, shy, hopeless, trapped in a 9 to 5 job etc.) So, in order to escape from these burdens they look for relaxation. And in order to be in relaxed they think about that old bro who knows him more than himself, with whom we can share anything we want, bad or good doesn't matter because he is not going to judge.
When we (men) get tired, we either search for empty space or an old bro who always listens to us and doesn't demand anything from us. You might be thinking that one can have this relaxation with his girlfriend. But no, because to be very honest, our girlfriends are going to judge us, they are going to advice us, they will feel bad for us and eventually we will end up adding one more problem to our life which is knowing that your girl is sad because you were sad about your career and goal.
Having a guy friend is like knowing that you are not the only one depressed, he has his own problems too. But, while having a girlfriend, you don't feel that freedom of being real, being honest, being mad, being stupid and much more. Your guy friends don't even care if you are stupid, but you can't be stupid in front of your girlfriend. So, all this freedom that one male has, is incomparable.
Keeping in mind the importance of that bro, i want to conclude this text with a beautiful quote from an Indian poet: "I had to meet my old friend in order to find myself."
