Guys Dealings with Feelings
For men who say "I'm fine" when they're not.
Guys Dealings With Feelings is a podcast about what men actually carry — anger, grief, shutdown, the things they don't say out loud. Aaron Gray, who lost his infant son Joel in 2012, hosts with his childhood friend Jason, a therapist with 18 years of clinical experience. One of them has lived it. The other knows the language.
Together they talk about identity, trauma, presence, being a man, and what it takes to feel anything again — without judgment or performative toughness.

Loneliness: Why We Feel So Alone (Even Around Other People)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Loneliness isn't simply being by yourself. Some of the loneliest moments in life happen when we're surrounded by people, yet still feel unseen, disconnected, or misunderstood.
In this episode of Guys Dealings With Feelings, Aaron and Jason explore the growing epidemic of loneliness affecting men today. We discuss why so many men struggle to build meaningful connections, how emotional walls are created over time, and why isolation often becomes a coping mechanism rather than a choice.
We also examine the difference between solitude and loneliness, the impact of technology and social media on connection, and why vulnerability is often the missing piece in creating deeper relationships.
If you've ever felt disconnected from your spouse, family, friends, coworkers, or even yourself, this conversation offers practical insights and tools to help you reconnect.
In this episode:
- The difference between loneliness and being alone
- Why many men feel disconnected despite having relationships
- How fear, shame, and past experiences create emotional isolation
- The hidden cost of self-reliance
- Why vulnerability is essential for meaningful connection
- How social media can increase feelings of loneliness
- Practical ways to build deeper relationships
- The importance of community, purpose, and belonging
Loneliness isn't a sign of weakness. It's a signal that something important is missing—and that connection is still possible.
