People show empathy, and move on. No need to ask for details.

In day-to-day work life or a meet-and-greet, yeah. But this was an executives-only retreat where they were apparently encouraged to drink and made a big deal out of getting everyone to open up to each other.

Why stigmatize what should be routine?

Mental health discussions, especially among men, should be less fraught. Like “I have a cold”
