Anyone mocked for having emotions is being abused. I can't speak for anyone else, but I would find far more contentment being alone and free to cry when needed than being afraid to show emotion around someone who is supposed to love and support me. I suppose I'm lucky to be with someone who has expressed satisfaction at the fact I don't bottle up my emotions. permalink fedilink source parent [–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago If you can't put down your arms with the people you love, it's not true love permalink fedilink source parent
