WHen guuys learn to repress their emotions they become insecure and dont feel comfortable in their place in the world . Girls in a sense have it easier than guys. They are encouraged to feeel the broad range on human emotion because its "feminine" to feel down-depressed-sad-unsure. I was raised not to feel that, so its hard to learn its "ok" to feel those things around others.
Some of u might laugh but its the truth.
i'm still trying to figure this out. (no offense btw)
blacks in the ghetto go to greater lengths to make their kids hard & raw. fundamentalist muslims are very strict with their kids. i think the chinese are too, as are many 3rd world countries.
in america, in the suburbs, we have 'time outs' instead of backhand slaps.
i think the world would be better if communication were free & open instead of repressed & contrived in an effort to fit in, but white kids are not hard. trust me. we don't express ourselves, but we aren't hard.
the thing is, i can only be open in a romantic bond. and that sucks. i would like to have open free communications in all my interpersonal relationships, but i can only do so in a romantic one. so, i guess you're right about that. but white kids are not raised to be tough. they are raised to appear normal by any means necessary.
