Because you're a guy. It's fucking gay to be emotional.

Because you're male. It's how we are.

Dude, I just got Hatsune Miku MM, a freaking dancing game, and got teary eyed to one of the songs for no damn reason. It was so weird and didn't understand a word in it. I'm still confused desu. Not even sure it was a sad song

Nah, this is why toxic masculinity is a problem now. "Straight" men are afraid to do ANYTHING because they're afraid to be called feminine and or gay. This is why most males breakdown because they are publicly shamed for crying.

Nothing wrong with crying, just don't do it in public. Your emotions are your own responsibility.

Stop being afraid of your emotions. Let them happen. They're part of you. Hell, INDULGE them because as you get older and more jaded you won't feel them as strongly and eventually you will look back fondly on the times you were capable of feeling embarrassment.

There's nothing wrong with crying publicly as long as it's over a good reason.

I'm a chad and don't give a fuck to do it in public

That's true, but good reasons usually only involve death or injury to a loved one. Those are extenuating circumstances.

Never cried at a piece of media before
Zig Forums, recommend me a game that'll destroy me emotionally

Persona 3

999
Most emotional game of Sudoku ever.

Remind yourself that the part of you shutting down your emotions is trying to help. It's a defence mechanism. Thank that part of your brain for doing it's job. Try to start some kind of ritual when you relax and start playing. Get your favourite snack or drink, preferably something healthy. Tell yourself that you've done a good job with whatever it is that you've been doing. Think about all your stressors and visualize putting them down or pushing them away. Your brain needs to feel comfortable. Focus on letting your guard down. A ritual activity will help your brain get the message through repetition.

It's the hrt, alice

cause you a pussy ass bitch

Keeping your emotions bottled up IS NOT healthy. This is why males tend to break down after bottling up their emotions for so long. It's ok to be sad, it's ok to cry, its NEVER ok to break down after keeping your emotions locked up

The other user is right, that is a defense of the brain. The problem is that Americans believe in therapeutic pseudo-science and have forgotten the importance of keeping their feelings to themselves.

>tfw sad stuff ALWAYS gets me misty eyed even if it's derivative as fuck
wtf

Society expects men to not show emotion for any reason.

>Keeping your emotions bottled up IS NOT healthy.
Good lord I fucking hate the phrase "bottling up your emotions", it's such a misunderstood phrase that faggots like you use every time someone isn't being a rampant retard and letting loose on the world.

Ok emotionally damaged user, how would you use the phrase, "Bottles up your emotions"? You fucking retard.

no clue
I am way WAY too overemotional even when I don't want to be and I don't know how I got like this or how to stop it
even good music makes me teary eyed it sucks

That's what I thought, lil bitch

>NEVER ok to break down after keeping your emotions locked up
That's why you calm yourself down and reflect on your emotions, think about why you felt the way you did and realize that's part of who you are. The more you think about why you act and feel the way you do, the better control you have on yourself. It's called self-awareness, something very few people in the modern world have anymore.
Bottling up your emotions is like getting angry and shutting away the reason. You die in a videogame repeatedly enough you get upset and absorbed into the raw feeling. If you're holding on to it and not letting yourself get over it, you're bottling it up.
A person who has better control on their emotions lets the feeling fade. They get upset, realize they're upset, then accept the fact that they're upset. They'll understand if they try again and fail they'll probably get upset again and keep stacking it up. They can disengage or at least try something else in the game to cool off and try again later.
Holding on to your anger like you're doing now:
and getting impatient is more akin to bottling it up.

That's literally, LITERALLY how I used the phrase "Bottled up your emotions" in my posts. You are a genuine retard.

Thats anxiety. Force yourself through it and feel things, its for the best

>I'm a chad
Is this something a chad would say?

>Friend of 15 years kills himself, dont cry
>Watch an anime where someone is trying to overcome their failures and adversity, cry.
Probably because I hate that I fail at most things I try, but still get up try again only to fail.

Why is there a fucking blog thread here?

Believe me, I get it user. 2 months ago, I could say I hadn't cried in 5 or so years. I've cried almost nightly since just from reading fucking slice of life and romance manga. It feels good to let it out, but man is it just weird.

It's good to stay in touch with your feelings OP. Don't just burry them, you can't be honest with yourself or have healthy relationships if you do.

but I can't help the subconscious suppression of it
I just feel so stupid and it makes me want to stop even if I would rather just be genuine
I keep thinking about how I SHOULD feel or react to something more than just actually feeling or reacting
