In the early hours of the morning, 36-year-old Tuan Anh expressed his exhaustion on social media, only to be gossiped about as being “soft and useless.” Living in Hoan Kiem district, Tuan Anh is a middle manager for a service company, working long hours from 5 a.m. to midnight. He has been under intense stress for years, pushing himself to make money to pay off his parents’ debt, buy a house, a car, and send his children to private school.
However, in recent years, Tuan Anh’s income has decreased, affecting his ability to meet financial obligations. He even had to borrow money from friends to pay for his children’s education. This financial pressure led to arguments with his wife about finances, causing him to break down in tears. His wife, expressing discriminatory attitudes, criticized him for showing weakness.
Struggling to cope with his emotions, Tuan Anh often turned to social media to share his feelings. However, the response he received from friends telling him to be strong and solve his problems on his own only made him feel more isolated. Feeling silenced and judged, Tuan Anh began to withdraw, becoming quiet and angry, with poor appetite and insomnia.
