    22 Struggles For People Who Never Cry

    Do we have feels? We DOOOOO.

    1. People think you’re heartless.

    2. When everyone else is crying, you're just sitting there nodding sympathetically.

    3. Just because you aren’t an emotional show-and-tell kind of person doesn’t make you an emotional corpse.

    4. In fact, you have feelings too. Deep feelings.

    5. Sometimes, trying to get the tears out seems impossible.

    6. In fact, it would just be easier to cry because you would instantly feel better.

    7. But you can’t, and so you’re stuck sitting quietly, and feeling like a miserable jerk.

    8. Sometimes people call you out on it, saying you’re acting cold or that you don’t understand how they’re feeling.

    9. But you DO understand, it’s just pouring out of your eyes. Instead it’s all swirled up inside of you in a big confusing jumble.

    10. When your friends finish their crying jag, they feel refreshed and better, but you still have to carry that unexpressed emotion in you for hours, even days.

    11. Goodbyes are the absolute WORST because it’s a massive sob fest while you sit with your arms crossed, smiling weakly.

    12. Big events like birthdays, weddings, or graduations will have you making awkward jokes or small talk to try to mask your dry eyes.

    13. In fact, reacting to “regular” stimuli seems foreign, and instead of reverting to tears in situations like sadness, pain, or frustration, you go straight to anger.

    SO ANGRY.

    14. And then people don’t get why you’re angry, and make you feel bad about it.

    15. And you’re like “Excuse me, just trying to express my emotions the only way I know how” and then it feels like you’re getting punished for it.

    16. I JUST WANT TO BE LOVED TOO.

    17. In fact, it’s stupid, but the only things that bring you to tears are the little things like tv shows, or getting frustrated.

    18. Big sob fests are semi-annual or even annual occasions, which exhaust you for days afterwards.

    19. Your friends, however, can cry at the drop of the hat, just from stress or having a bad day. This sort of makes you jealous.

    20. When you DO finally cry in front of people who’ve never seen you do it before, you’re greeted with shock and awe, but not a lot of comfort at first. People have to recover from this alternate reality they find themselves in.

    21. IT’S JUST ME.

    22. Because deep down, we’re the same, we just can’t express it.

    Who knows, you might pull a Chandler Bing someday.
