I used to think that way, feeling embarrassed when someone pointed out I had emotions.
I realized over time it was my dad who taught me to feel that shame, and the friend group I was with. Slowly I started to realize that it wouldn’t matter, and let myself be me a bit more.
Life definitely got easier. When they talk about toxic masculinity, that’s it. Forcing you to hide who you are because you think it isn’t manly or something. It’s wrong though. I met my wife and she liked me because I was in touch with my emotions. It’s become a part of me. Hell I finally realized I love Taylor Swift because I emotionally connect with her songs where before I could never let myself like her music.
Society pushes all of these weird rules on us, and man does life get easier when you just stop caring about them
Man you were definitely lucky to meet ur wife, huh. Idk, it just has been very difficult to find ppl like these irl for me. And for those who were like this, they just treated me like I was dumb or something. You know, more “childlike” or whatever.

They asked if you were a “softie” not a “swiftie!”
(I’ll show myself out…)
