Honestly, not checking in on each other.

There are a lot of stereotypes in this thread, and some I've encountered, some I haven't. But I do know that there is an epidemic of loneliness among men, and it is very real and sometimes deadly.

Damn, this needs to be at the top.

Of mind. Seriously. Reach out to your buddies you haven't heard from in a few weeks. And don't stop doing that. They'll appreciate it, and so will you.

Agreed even just sending a stupid meme or a joke shows you were thinking of them and can be a lighthearted convo starter.
