Finally got the chance to comfort a male friend a few days ago.

Was talking to an online friend of mine (never met him in person, but known him for about a yr). We were chatting (text on messenger) and some of his old memories were brought up. After a few min he sent me a pic of him with tears running down his face. I was sending him comforting words/pics. He sent me a few more pics of the progression of his tears.

Once his tears started to slow we started talking about men/emotions etc (he started that topic). Then he apologized for ruining my night with his problems. I kept telling him not to apologize and to message me any time he needed a shoulder.
