What's on your mind?

[LoveDivine]

I don't think so.

Honestly, I am too emotional sometimes I think. Part of me hates it, part of me loves it. I hate that I get so emotional, but I do enjoy that I am not that emotionless blank face that shows no emotion at all.

I'm not afraid to show my emotions, though I'd still rather not cry around people

Haha, I never would have gathered that from your posts. I figured since you were a good poker player that you were probably really good at hiding your emotions (at least not showing any expressions on your face).

 

[Saucy]

Thats just never been my experience. Im treated like am outcast when I get emotional about something. Im mostly ignored and others will gossip about it and me rather than pull me aside and see how Im doing or try to help.

Yeah. I refuse to ever cry too, lol.

Always feel embaressed and horrible when I do cry secretly. Lol.

:o
Oops
I have lots of emotions... But my face is like that most of the time around others.

So of course - i rarely cry in front of others.

I'm not advocating breaking down in public (although there are times for that), but experiencing real emotion and sorrow is not a shameful thing. In fact, it is really concerning if a person never experiences that. That would make you a sociopath. Fighting feelings of compassion or tenderness doesn't make a guy more of a man. If anything, it will just produce a cold and brutish temperament. I have been convinced (and I won't be easily swayed from this mindset) from the moment I joined the forum, that you were trying to stifle all your natural kindness and project something totally different. I even alluded to that once in another thread about best dates. I don't know why you would want to do that though. I could see from your retro picks you posted, that you were a really nice kid.

I'm hardly emotional at all.

 

[Saucy]

See? By in large, most people just dont care.

 

[SnowyMacie]

I'm fairly emotional.

You want me to cry? Have me watch Field of Dreams.

Haha, of course you would love that film. It is a good movie though.

The only movie that's made me cry is Seven Pounds, and it was the second time I watched it.

 

[MehGuy]

I cried when Fry's dog died on Futurama, lol.

About you specifically or when people break down?

I balled my eyes out watching Old Yeller. I have rarely cried watching movies, but that was traumatic for me as a kid.

 

[AphroditeGoneAwry]

For me it was 'as the red fern grows'.

I try to pretend Old Yeller got better and lived a long and happy life.

That has to be one of the worst movies ever. It's horribly sad. Like, who the heck would write a story like that? Awful.

 

[Gnarwhal]

Haha, of course you would love that film.

To be fair, The Green Mile chokes me up every time as well.

...And Saving Private Ryan.
...And Pearl Harbor.
...And Lincoln.
...And many other movies.

That's a heavy movie (no pun intended).

I accept Phoebe Buffay's ending to the movie "He saved them from the wolf, the end!"
