People have always made me feel ashamed of showing my emotions. When I was younger, if I tried to express how I was feeling, I’d get told to “stop whining” or “man up.” Every time I showed any emotion, I felt like I was judged or looked down on. It was like emotions weren’t allowed.
Now, when I try to open up, I feel guilty. I wonder if people think I’m just overreacting or complaining too much. I feel like I shouldn’t be showing my emotions, but I don’t know how to stop feeling them. It’s hard to shake the feeling that showing emotions makes me unmanly or pathetic.
