I wish I could post a picture of myself here so you guys could see me..I'm sorry Chickenzilla, that sounds horrible. At times I have felt the same way - lonely, needing to cry, but feeling blocked and unable to release it.
Can I not cry because there's a man in men? Only girls have the power to make me cry on the spot..
Anyone else? Stories? Or just whatever.. It was odd because I hasn't done that in years.
I can cry, but generally about trivial things. To my eternal shame I wept like a baby when I took my niece to see High School Musical 3 - I'm not sure if I'm more ashamed of seeing the film, or crying! ;-) I cried when David Bowie died. But I didnt cry when a friend died a few months ago. Weird isn't it?
I think as men we are socialised into not showing certain emotions. You aren't alone in this.
