Another phone fairy. Technology and social media has weakened and turn "Men" these days into soft fairies. They're hurt by words of someone they'll never know in their life or meet face to face.

Listen, if you're that emotional, get off the net. Leave social media and live in the moment of the people around you in your life. They're all that matters in the end. Not 1 comment someone says online should physically hurt you in any way. Of course, mentally it can, but that is where you need to know to unplug.

I don't know how certain people can have it all in life and still feel their life sucks and think of suicide. I know we will never know what is going through their head but it's like damn. You have it all and still aren't happy? I know they run the speech that we'll never understand the truth or what they go through mentally despite having the money, fame, woman, basically everything. Yet that isn't enough. We're to believe it doesn't mean much if you don't have something else that they're missing. Well, just how much more do you damn need in life? At that point I think they're geedy as F**K. You want that little part you're missing? Okay, then give me your millions in the bank, lol. I'll trade you if I got it, lol.

I've been saying this since the start--the first loss this guy suffers is going to derail his life. He won't be able to handle it. He's mentally fragile. Not mocking his mental illness, but all that tough guy bravado nonsense is a front he's putting on for the cameras.

Well this message is loud and clear to me and what I take from this is: I am done with picking on someone (even if I particularly dont like them) and putting them down especially when I know they are having a difficult time dealing with their mind.

Kind of embarrassing honestly since I went through depression and anxiety, which still lingers some times.

We need to help lift each other up, not shove each other down.

To those that wonder what helped me: Ayurveda and spiritual mediations (especially heart opening mediations (book Deep Heart).

Love this!

Couldn't agree more and thanks for putting yourself out there for the sake of helping others understand how mental health impacts most of us. It's so strange (still) that others can't share their struggles with mental health but it's worse when you're a fighter.

Fans expect you to be tough in every aspect of life, not knowing that willingly entering the ring to do harm and endure it all in the same breath is strange in and of itself. Nobody ever questions that because it entertains people.

Anytime I see guys like Teo and Broner with their over-the-top arrogance and swagger, it tells me they are massively insecure. Rolly Romero is another one of those guys who is missing some screws as well. A powerful dose of humility would go a long way with them.

I do find it hard when a millionaire says they are depressed. It’s not that I don’t believe them because I do, and I hope they find help to get better, but I just don’t understand what they would have to be depressed about, no worries of paying bills on time, people worshipping you, no worries of not being able to buy something, and when you are depressed you can cheer yourself up by buying something. You literally have the money to do anything you want.

i don’t know, maybe I’m being foolish, but I’m just saying what I think, maybe I need to be educated on this matter of how the rich people think and live.

Teofimo Lopez Jr. defeated Vasiliy Lomachenko via unanimous decision in October 2020. The win was the highest of highs. But not too long after, however, the lowest of lows slowly crept up. After an ugly spat with Top Rank and a series of postponements on the forthcoming George Kambosos Jr. bout -- one of which surrounded on Lopez contracting COVID-19 in June during fight week -- the fight is finally on track once again.

It seems that a lot of posters missed the part where he said (I’m paraphrasing) “this isn’t right. Why am I feeling like this when I have all these blessings? I had to get off the phone because it’s toxic”.

Then he goes on to give thanks and he’s only 24 years old so why don’t we give the young man room to grow?

There is a part in the article where he acknowledges that he shouldn’t be feeling that way with all of the blessings he has. Then he goes on to mention getting off the phone because it’s toxic.

I think Teo knows he is blessed, he may have just lost perspective as people do at times.
