Emotions

[deephiance]

I find it hard to show emotions and I am afraid to cry, this year has been the worst of my life. I also bottle up my feelings. Do you think it's right not to show emotions and to suffer in silence and just to get on with things.

I can relate to this.

I hid and still do to an extent, hide my emotions. It is very old school thinking that a man should not show emotions, old school and wrong.

BUT having grown up with that stigma it is hard to break that mould. Bottling emotions is not a good thing, it can lead to all sorts of issues and often a let down ensues as the emotions become overwhelming.

I don't think it is right to suffer in silence, I think you have to let go, let it happen and once you have worn your emotions on your sleeve, move on and get on with life.
