I’ve always been a pretty sensitive person, whether it’s with my feelings or with other peoples’ feelings. I think I feel too deeply about things most wouldn’t really care about and can take things personally. Especially as a teen I was deep into the alternative scene because I felt like no one could (really) understand me. I was into dramatical art (theater), music, and writing growing up. but with my love for the feminine side of things paired with my creative endeavors it wasn’t really appreciated. these were seen as emasculating. So i kinda kept my niche interests to myself. I channeled my feelings through artistic mediums instead. Now I am realizing that I still have issues with being overwhelmed and being sensitive. I know guys don’t really talk about their emotions because we aren’t really given the same space to do that compared to women. I think even as a kid my parents didn’t really let me express myself and basically told me to suck it up because I’m a “man” (mind you my dad has been saying this since i was like 13, a literal child lol). I had to deal with most of my emotional issues by myself. So again, I never really learned how to handle my emotions properly as a teenager. Now at 21 I want to be a less sensitive version of myself. submitted by /u/itz_vampy
