You can feel it; the pressure building up in your sinuses, your throat tightening up, your vision goes blurry, and your face gets red hot. Waterfalls are about to come pouring from your eyes. You're about to cry. Well, you then start to cry and people just look at you, almost like you've got a third eye on your forehead. You're just crying. It's really no big deal.
It seems like this society condones those who are emotional, especially those who are overly emotional and can start crying just from looking at a picture of a little kitten (I'm guilty of this). And if you're easily angered, oh boy, you've automatically got anger issues. Really? Maybe whatever got you feeling like that hit a nerve or was the last straw. Whatever the "issue," don't worry about it. You're allowed to show emotions. You're human after all.
I don't understand why it is such a big deal to show emotion out in public. It's almost seen as deviance just because you should be able to control your feelings. I'd like to think I have good control over my emotions, but sometimes I just get tired, stressed, or just have a bad day. These things happen and, you know what, I usually end up crying after it's gone on for so long or I just can't take it any longer. And if I'm out in public when the world caves in on me, I don't care. I'll cry right there in the middle of the store, classroom, wherever, and I won't care because guess what? I'm too busy being upset with whatever's going on in my life to care about what others are thinking of me and my sudden outburst of emotion.
That's it. Right there. If you're emotional, be emotional. Don't be sorry about it, don't worry about what others are thinking because in the end, all that matters is how you feel. Crying can honestly sometimes make everything better, so if you need to cry then let it out. Guy, girl, whoever. Just cry, or ball your hands into a fist, or scream into a pillow or your book bag. Do what you need to do to feel better (unless it involves causing harm to someone else). Go where you need to go to feel better, too. Seriously, if you haven't done it, cry in the shower. I have no idea what it is about that setting, but shower cries are the most satisfying.
Anyways, don't feel bad or embarrassed because you are "more emotional" than others. Seriously, we need more people like you in the world because we've got too many people who are like anti-emotions. Like, no. Be human, not a robot. So, to all those who cry just from watching a video of a little puppy getting groomed or a kitten wearing a lobster costume, cry away because I'll be right there watching the same videos bawling at the adorableness alongside you.
