So... I have this weird feeling when somebody is crying no matter if it is on TV or just close to me. It makes me feel so unconfortable, speakless, confused or even a little bit angry. Sometimes it kind of hurts when there is someone talking about his/her strong emotions like love for family or friends or how much one cares about lover, wife or friends. It feels like making me weaker or something. The truth is I have been through a lot of pain until two years ago. But why am I so embarassed about those feelings? It is not only awkward, it is kind of painful... I wonder now, is it because it reminds me of those times when I suffered because of rejection and lack of love? So... hearing people crying and expressing powerful emotions is just a burden for me. Every now and then I just become frustrated with the fact that people cry... Though it is part of human nature, I fear crying, maybe because it makes me weak. And it seems to me so impossible. When having tears in my eyes I imediatelly get embarassed of myself. Those emotions are indeed truthful, meaningful to us, as human beings, still I only shy away from them. I do not know if I made myself clear, I tried, I tried to find some peace with myself. And if someone can provide answers based on my reflection, I am truly grateful. Thank you so much for reading!

So, are you feeling uncomfortable because there are emotions from your past that you didn't work through?
ReplyIt can be... Or just a way to protect myself, to not suffer again. I don t know.
ReplyI think I know what you mean. Feelings and emotions can be frightening but they can also be healthy to express. Obviously to a healthy extent.
ReplyIf you had hardships in the past and never allowed yourself to cry and feel bad for yourself then you may feel uncomfortable because it's striking a nerve.
ReplyThat's completely okay. It could also be empathy or relation to the character, you just feel and that's a really really really good thic
ReplyOh oops I didnt read the post fully no I thought you meant when you see characters you feel you relate & cry if it's that emotion being conveyed or a similar situation
ReplyWell that's understandable, you know the strong front, the 'vulnerability' it's okay uno don't let that strong falseness be you just be yourself xx
ReplyDon't be embarrassed you're only human after all
