    It’s funny how showing emotion to them is always crying. Like that’s their default for any emotion?

    I can’t remember my dad or grandpa shaming me for crying as a kid. It was usually “ yeah you did something stupid and got hurt. Suck it up and move on” is that really “shaming”?

      I don’t think so. That’s how I was raised to. I feel like they over exaggerated to a point to where you will empathize with them so they can feel better about being overly emotional

      Very much this, why is crying the gold standard for showing emotions?
