You have a problem and should at least talk it through with them, if not a doctor. I don't know where you got such a strong stereotype about men not talking about their feelings and whatnot, but that stuff isn't true. Talk about your feelings to people close to you, it's doing more harm when you stop yourself from doing so.
Thank you for your response.
I don't actually believe in the stereotype myself, at least not anymore. I used to think I was different because I've always been fairly sensitive and emotional. I never broke out crying for no reason or anything like that, but some things get to me and choke me up. And this was only compounded because I have never EVER seen ANY of my friends or even my dad show a chink in their 'armor'. So I guess I figured that if they don't show their feelings then neither should I. And none of them are macho tough guys or think that they are, which made it even more confusing for me.
And do you think I should tell everyone? Or just family, close friends, and of course my gf?
