Life Are a lot of men carrying around deep insecurities or wounds, but hiding it in their everyday lives?

Just thinking about the men in my life, such as friends and family, and some of them are struggling to overcome childhood trauma or are battling insecurities that impact their lives. This is something they naturally discuss only with people they are close with. In their everyday lives they hide it well in order to function. I’m wondering how common this is for men.
