The Silent Struggle: The Psychological Burden and Health Consequences of Urban Male Work Culture

December 9, 2023

  I. Continuous work pressure

Ordinary people should not work for more than 10 hours, as it exceeds the body's healthy capacity. However, urban adult males in China often work for more than 12 hours, resulting in severe psychological burden.

II. Sense of loss

Gloomy disappointment in career, relationships, and shattered self-confidence are the lingering shadows that envelop urban males.

III. High-pressure competition

Today's white-collar men live in an era of fierce competition, where feelings of insecurity and instability constantly erode their inner selves.

IV. Family crisis

Inconsistent social values among family members and different preferences can lead to disharmonious family environments. Even without any reason, stress can be subtly transmitted through parents, spouse, and children.

V. Disease strike

When you are under pressure, your physical condition cannot be at its best. Diseases can invade at any time, further intensifying feelings of anxiety. In turn, anxiety continues to undermine your already fragile health, creating a vicious cycle.

VI. Excessive desire pressure

If you have excessive expectations for power and money, your cardiovascular and nervous systems are constantly in a state of tension. This disrupts the normal physiological rhythm, leading to energy depletion and inevitable premature aging.
