When men feel stress, they process.
When women feel stress, they talk.
Generally speaking, women feel uncomfortable with the men’s process because it happens in silence.
For a man to talk when he’s stressed only increases his stress.
I’ll just leave this here and go away for a while and write…
Talk among yourselves
OR
Process by yourself.
Dennis Mantin 
This is a thoughtful and quietly insightful reflection. It captures, with simplicity and honesty, how differently people experience and respond to stress—without judgment or blame. The tone invites understanding rather than argument, offering space for both silence and conversation as equally valid forms of coping. Ending with the choice to step away and write feels especially authentic, reinforcing the message that self-awareness and respecting differences can be a form of care in itself.
