weed doesn't even make your eyes that red anyway, not like in those stoner comics where the sclera is all red.

When I was little I used to cry a lot I don't know why, lacked social skills I guess and all the kids made fun of me for it for years. I was a pretty sad kid, and never really had anyone to talk to. Nowadays I just get angry all the time and bottle it up around people, and I doubt talking it out would help. Pretending that everything's fine has always worked great for me, and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon.

just be yourself.
Why would you hidenthat you are an angry man? People respect andgry mean people, despite tv and other **** telling you otherwise.

Last time you went to a gym and saw a roid filled really angry dude. Did you pity him? If he asked you something, would you run away? No, you'd sit there like a dog.
Anger is not that bad. Release it, it will become less bugging.

And being yourself feels really good. People will respect that as well.
Look at the most followd people - Bieber, that bearded poker dude on instagram, Kanye etc tc etc. Many are Incredible assholes, yet people somehow feel deep respect for them being who they are.

tl;dr - if bad thing is your thing, it is not that bad of a thing.

What I would do is just do a **** ton of things to calm you down for a week or longer, me, I love to listen to music The Eden Project/EDEN, love him. and play a game, sometimes just play Arma 2/3 and drive around, look at the landscape. Never bottle up your anger. Maybe get into boxing or lifting, something so you can use your muscles. I'm no professional, but I'd recommend seeing a therapist, they'd be 10x better. I hope you end up not being that way, I'm sorry about how kids would make fun of you for showing emotion, retards.

One thing that always worked out for me is just ranting at myself. Wait until you're alone and then rant the **** out of anything that's stressing you out or making you sad. Been doing it ever since I realized people generally don't give a **** about other's issues and just want someone to listen to them.

To be fair, I think context plays a big role. A man crying at a funeral for their recently deceased wife or child would probably be pretty acceptable. A man with a severed leg. A man who found out he's paralyzed from the waist down for life. Jesus Christ I made myself sad now.....

I've been told by at least three men on this site that they didn't cry at funerals for close relatives because they'd be weak at a time that others need support.

I don't get it. It's pretty damn reasonable for anyone to cry if their dog/best friend/close relative dies. In fact, it's pretty damn normal. But honor and respect and being strong for others and all that **** .. .

To be honest I think that if you don't let yourself cry over big **** sometimes it makes you weak.

To me if you can't handle basic emotions in a healthy and appropriate way, that in itself isa serious sign of insecurity. I'm not going to be the "cry" police on other dudes unless it's blatantly ridiculous "i lost my COD match". "My gf broke up with me so im going to post pictures of me crying on facebook to show her" Holding in **** is like the number 1 reason for a ton of mental illness in men, and can lead to all sorts of blow ups (domestic violence) (bar fights) ( suicide). That is literally half the battle therapists and psychologists fight with men who are taught cultural norms are to show zero emotion to friends and family. (experience: RN who has done rotations at two psych wards and personal experience with ptsd from in the field as a medic)

Exactly.

I get the whole "life is tough so you have to be tougher" argument, but I think it's ******** .

I'm not saying men should cry at every little thing like some women do. I'm saying men should definitely be taught that sometimes if you don't cry, you're going to end up in a far worse mess than if you did cry.

Ah, well then yeah, you're probably an asshole, but who cares?

There are plenty of strangers who get all worried about girls who are crying. Usually if it's a guy it's because of white knights, but for women it's sometimes an instinct. I suddenly pitty crying people and get an urge to help. It's stupid and probably how I'm gonna get mugged or pickpocketed one day if I don't ignore it, but it's how I feel.

I don't know why but I'm scared they are going to punch me or something. I've never been hit by a crying person, but for some reason crying strangers scare me. If they come up to me crying or just randomly vent to me (strangers randomly venting to me happens surprisingly often) I won't turn them away, but I don't approach them.

You are a good person for talking to crying strangers.

You didn't cry when your friend killed themselves and your nan died?

It'd be okay to cry then just as it was okay to cry at your dog's death, if you were close to them.

Also, your new dog is adorable and I hope you give him the most loving home he ever got to live in.

I know it's ok to cry whenever there's a reason like that, yeah, I just didn't feel the need to. I don't know, there's something very personal about losing your dog. It's your dog, you know? You're losing the only thing in the world that could ever love you that much. The only thing that's genuinely happy beyond words just with you being near. It's overwhelming. And losing your best friend like that is tough.

I dunno, I might just be a dog person. Don't get me wrong I was sad when I lost my friend and my Nan, and I'm not one to try to compete one sad event against another, I just didn't cry at those events, and did when my dog passed. I dunno.

Cheers for the comment mate. Got any dogs yourself?

That's understandable, sometimes you don't feel like crying, just saddened. Depends on how close you were and stuff. It doesn't make you tough or not tough to cry though at those times.

I don't have any dogs, but I like all animals and I understand the pain of losing a pet. We have cats right now, and I've watched two go so far. The last one was my best friend, and so it made me very sad to lose him... he was more dog than cat sometimes. We got a new one that was similar and it really did help. I've also lost mice, and if you've ever hand raised a mouse to be your friend and love you, losing them sucks.

There's a potential for a personal bond there, regardless of the animal, unless it's something like a goldfish but even then some people get attached to their fish.

And giving that dog a loving home is a wonderful thing to do. Especially for such a gentle looking giant.

I don't know what the thing is with dogs though. Maybe it's the unconditional love they give you. Maybe it's the un-touched innocence in their eyes. I don't cry for much but when it's about dogs I lose my **** 10x more easily.

This is how you give a hand to a man hanging onto an edge of a bottomless pit and then release him when he needs you most. As the surface vanishes from my view I lose any attachment to humanity. And it feels pretty good...

Had a smiliar experience, though my case is probably even worse because I'ma bloody 22-year-old virgin. Finally in grade 11 I think I managed to work up to courage to ask out this one girl I really liked and who was always really sweet to me. I merely wanted to clear things out, see of she was really only nice or if there maybe was something more. Well, she shot me down, not necessarily in a cruel, but definitly ****** manner. Since then I never again worked up the spine to ask anybody out. And so far nobody has ever even really flirted with me. Guess I'm not relationship material.

I've been confessed to several times in my life. Every single time was a prank attempting to get a reaction out of me so they could laugh at me. The first time I fell for it, the other times I caught on to it, and by this point I find it impossible to even imagine someone actually liking me.

What's kinda funny though is that once she shot me down the rose-colored glasses were gone and I realized a whole lot of flaws about her that I never had registered before. Kinda interesting what hormones can do to once perception. And while there are certain hours, especially late at night, where I get these blasted depressive thoughts and feel terribly lonely, all in all I have to say I've come to appreciate all the time I have at hand, and all the peace and silence. I noticed after a while that I'm probably somehwhat introverted or just a cave-dwelling gremlin, whatever and that I in fact need a lot of time for myself, for thinking and stuff, and can't stand hours and hours in the presence of other people. So I suppose my solitude also has some positive sides. And after hearing several rather unpleasent stories from several friends of how relationships which once looked so fine turned to **** rather quickly and brutaly I wonder of staying single isn't actually the better option...

I read a ******** . I've read at least 30000 pages worth of books in the last year, and have somewhere around 150k pages of books on my plan-to-read list, with some of the series on that list being ongoing.

So, unlike most people seem to complain about (at least 75% of people I know make it seem like they need to get completely drunk/high to enjoy themselves), I have more than enough ways to kill time alone, meaning I also don't care that much about not having a gf.

I mean, crying in public because you failed a test, or you fell down and scraped your knee is some fag **** .
But if you found out that your mother is dying, or that your dog just died, then its fine.

why should I express my emotions? crying never got me anything in life, and showing anger in public is a good way to get filmed and called an asshole on the internet. Dealing with the issue is usually a far better way to go.

If I can't solve an emotional problem by myself, then i'll find a therapist.

It isn't emotional repression, it's self discipline.

Some emotional issues you can't solve by yourself, as you said, and so it is good you see a therapist for some things but..

If your most beloved dog or best friend suddenly dies, it's far cheaper and far more fulfilling to just let the hurt out, and cry.

Crying is healthy sometimes. And perfectly normal.

Nobody's saying a man or a woman should cry at every little problem. But some things are worth shedding tears for your own sanity.

When I'm angry I usually just shout at thin air or slam my fist down on my desk
No need to let it out on others

I don't cry, I'm a man
Men repress it and weep or have a mental breakdown eventually

And if I'm feeling down I just go to sleep earlier

so according to you, the only emotions existing are "crying" and anger.

therapists cost money and sometimes an issue cannot be dealt with.

find some ways to properly express emotion or it'll all come out violently one day.

people seriously, there is a difference between crying and whining in public and at least showing you actually do give a damn once and a while. we call some people over-emotional for a reason. it is okay to show some emotion.

Men aren't really allowed to "cry", but in very extreme situations, releasing tears is permitted, and I would recommend it. But make sure to do everything in your power to avoid showing it to the public when you're in public.

But when these extreme situations arise, this is when you turn to your girl for comfort when available. Literally one of her natural skills as a female is to comfort, don't waste that.

You can cry when laughing, yawning or at a funeral.

Yeah I guess. Also a funeral falls under a extreme situation. A person you cared about died, that's extreme.

I don't get why it's wrong for guys to cry.I get why it's wrong for anyone to cry about half the ******** idiotic teenage girls cry about, like ruining shoes or because they hadn't got a text back in an hour

But if your dog just died, you watched a REALLY ******* sad movie, you were at a funeral or had just witnessed some other kind of severe emotional trauma...

It's more than okay to cry at these times, in fact guys who say they rarely show emotion scare me.

How on earth do you stay sane bottling up the BIG **** life throws at you? If your mother just got injured by a truck and assuming you had a good relationship with her your whole life, and you DON'T cry... you're not normal and you should seek counselling.

When my grandfather died while I held his hand, I shed a tear.
Ive had 3 dogs in my life. Ive held each in my arms as they were put to sleep. I shed a tear each time.
When the love of my life crushed my soul and left me, my eyes welled up more than once.

But I have never openly wept or cried.

My grandfather taught me to be strong. Balling at his passing would have been disrespectful. I kept a stiff upper lip. For him.
When each of my dogs died, I didnt break down crying because they were already scared and hurting and weak. They needed me to be strong for them.
When my wife left me I refused to give her the satisfaction of breaking me.

Men don't cry because being a man means being respectful, being strong for others in need, and keeping your honor above all else.

Some things are just more important than having a cry.

And it doesn't make you strong to hide your emotions.

If anything, it makes you weaker. The hurt and pain are what make you stronger, denying those feelings only leads to cracks in your armor.

The world is a harsh place. Its full or hurt and suffering and pain.
You can't change that. You can't control it and you will go insane trying.
What you CAN control is yourself and how you react to that suffering.
You can break down. You can give in and give up and let the tears rain down.
Or you can look life back in the eye and say "NO. You will not break me. Not today".

My grandfather endured the death of two children and a wife. Faced down times starvation and poverty. Lived through a war and a brutal car crash that left him scarred and hunched. Never once did I even hear of the man giving in to self pity.

To my dogs I was the center of thier world. If I was hurting they were hurting for me. So when thier time came, and they looked up at me scared and hurting, the very least I could do was hold it together for them and let them know it was all going to be ok.

Life is hard. You have to be harder. Is it easy? No. Does it feel good? No. But the alternative is to bow your head and give in, and thats unacceptable. Especially when others are counting on you.

Your sanity is more important than "honor" sometimes.

Sometimes the strong should allow weakness through for their own good.

Your wife, that's reasonable. Bitches are bitches, both male and female, and not worth crying over.

Your grandfather, that's reasonable. Respect and all that, plus you did let the weakness show through just a little which is healthy.

But your dogs man? After they died and were gone, I'd be bawling. And it wouldn't be wrong to bawl at that moment. It'd be perfectly normal.

I'm a girl who is there for all my friends, even for the most stupid of ******** that makes them cry. I know what it is to be the strong one. But sometimes even I know when it's stupid NOT to cry. When my grandfather who was more of a father to me and a best friend to me than my actual father died, I cried. I waited until he was gone though. No sense in bawling through his last words like my grandmother.

If I didn't cry, I'd be completely useless to help connect and comfort my grandmother, who herself was ashamed at the scene she was causing.

Plus... that man was who I looked up to, who I wanted to be like. He was my first true friend, so saying goodbye to him hurt like a bitch.

My brothers held in crying when my dad left and both of them ended up having issues they needed to be sent to a therapist for.

It's not good to not cry sometimes.

I think guys should cry and show emotion more than what to they're told to however I don't believe they should be brought up basically as girls either. They should have a good balance of manliness and regular human emotion.

call me old fashioned but I dont like it when people show excessive emotion, good or bad. Im a reserved type of person because I was raised that way, not shy or anything. People always ask me why I dont emote, its because I can control the expression of my feelings without resorting to emotion. When we were little and we fell we would cry because pain. Now most people fall and don cry because either they have felt it before or they know its not a big deal w/e. This is the same exact **** . You can convey what you are feeling through words and facial expressions. My major generalizing complaint about women is that they are too emotional and now men are starting to do it too. Be more professional and quit reacting to everything like a teenager.

tl;dr everyone today is ZOMG! or T.T and I hate both. Just dont make everything such a big deal, you big babies.
