I honestly think that crying is a very layered act, as it can be linked to so many different emotions, scenarios, motives and so on... I don't feel ashamed when I cry now, I felt ashamed when I was a teenager (as most boys would tell you) because I was conditioned to think it was inherently wrong and because I was bullied as a kid for doing it... I would say that I support crying wholeheartedly and I hold it in very high regard, especially because I can't properly do it myself as much as I'd love.
I hope I cleared your doubts and explained myself, I'd love to talk more (privately also) if you have any other remarks or questions!☺️
Everyone should be able to cry and be able to feel things deeply without fear of judgement. I’m really glad you shared this personal piece- it shows your emotional resilience for sure. Sometimes we learn to adapt so hard that we don’t remember how we were before. I’m glad you remember your emotions and feelings and what crying feels like. You’re rebuilding- starting slow- and that’s so important. As a side note, I was reminded of Cameron Diaz’s character in The Holiday (she too could not cry).
Oh Davide, I believe someone will come, someone who will hold you, and in their arms, you’ll finally let it all out. You are a strong soul, my guy, and sometimes the world is unbearably cruel. I’ve felt it firsthand. But we have to keep going. We must keep going. So proud of you. This was an incredible piece.
I am simply in awe of you my man!!! I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for having someone like you who actually takes the time to read and support me every single time and I feel soo lucky right now! Thank you for the incredibly kind words , as always, they really mean soo much to me🫶🏻😭
"I felt victim of a robbery, one in which the stolen goods were forgotten by their very owner, who realised they were his only after the theft"
This qoute cuts like knife! I can really feel the struggle that you went through and continue to go through! This is sooo well written
It made me feel emotional for you!! It's crazy that we don't as a society make more space for male emotions!
Too many people view crying as a weakness! But it's really not! I even as a woman have been crapped on for crying! It's crazy to me!
I usually cry out of frustration rather than sadness lol...I have always struggled with sadness and grieving, In the past It was a luxury I couldnt afford...but what would make me cry is having to hold back my anger LOL it probably sounds weird but it's true!!
I am now better able to process my emotions but for the longest time I couldnt let myself be vulnerable to sadness or grieving!!
Great article!! You got me thinking and I empathize because crying is a great stress relief!!
Thank you for these kind words and for your compliments, they really made my day! I do understand the frustration aspect, I relate to it, I know so many people who feel the same way
its okay. from your voice i feel i am picking up on a lot of shame and anger for being a crier. shame for the past and anger for acceptance you were never granted, while also recognizing people still hold outdated views on men crying. im a bit confused as to where you stand on crying, retorical consideration; are you advocating for your emotions or redirecting them?
also i feel crying is more than salty tear and hormonal regulation. i feel sadness is the driving force of crying and better understanding of emotions would be most important to me at least.
i enjoyed reading this, I've spent a long time pushing my feelings down down down. and this was a refreshing account of someone completely different from me c: thank you davide
this was so vulnerable and so beautiful, i was shamed constantly for being a crybaby growing up - but i can’t imagine what it must’ve been like to be expected to never cry at all. thank you for finding the strength to express your emotions in this piece and share them

Hi twin, thanks for taking the time to read and comment, I always appreciate your kind words and this time around they were very touching and warm🥰🥹
I haven't watched The Holiday in such a long time I hardly remember the plot, I'll definitely check it out again now that you mentioned it!☺️😙
