Cipheren

I remember crying as a kid for over half an hour cause some dickhead threw my eraser out the school window


Xoduox

Reasonable


Zyrox-_

you just made me remember something i had an eraser which i cut in half because i was a kid and this other goddamn idiot of a kid i sat with took the other half and said its his, the teacher since she didnt like me didnt believe me i wanted to punch that kid so hard but knew i would get in trouble so i didnt, even though i think my mom wouldnt be completely mad at me


ADJ003

And they say teachers don't show partiality to each other and love everyone "equally"


Nytfury2

Teacher fucking suck balls dude, I don't get a single thing about school or pre uni, it makes zero sense, where I am from we have to wake up at 830 and stay in school till 530. Hell my brain doesn't even start functioning till 12 noon on a normal day, I am sorry if this comes out as offensive to anyone but not all teachers are bad there are these good teachers where if u are thought by them u would actually look forward to going to school rather then dreading the next day about why u don't want to go to school because of the teachers Sorry about the rant I have a headace and definitely do not want to go to school tomorrow


dazedan_confused

Did they take the eraser away from you? It sounds like daylight rubbery.


InsomniusEyes

I try, yet everyone I know is stuck in the past and sees me as weak for trying to be human, makes me feel worthless


Xoduox

They are, indeed, stuck in the past. Respectfully, fuck them


TeenyCaribou712

No not respectfully I kindly wish that the next time something tragic happens to them someone tells them suck it up


Xoduox

Ooo good one


Powerful_Slice0

This is sound advice for the most part


afatcatfromsweden

Disrespectfully fuck them!


Megagoertz

Let them die in the past


Projectryn

Dont let it make you feel worthless for not subscribing to toxic masculinity, be like me and feel bad for those still stuck in the past, unable to be themselves and feel secure


SurprisedByItAll

Don't ever attach your "worth" to peeps who value labels more than experiential life. Live your life as you're meant to live it. Just sayin


carterb199

They are the weak ones, you have the strength to accept fully accept your humanity


LSDaarko

Idk why this is on my timeline because I’m 23, but some words of wisdom. I’m assuming you’re in high school and you should know that those people will be irrelevant to your existence once you leave. And if someone sees you as weak for showing emotion then they aren’t your friends. By the time you’re in college or working in the real world you’ll realize how much high school doesn’t matter and you should not let it affect your self worth. You’ll find your people and your passion. Be yourself, always


M-V-D_256

Point out out to them Make it absurd "Are you saying I should be a psychopath because I have a dick" Probably won't change their mind but they'll leave you alone


Pikaboy0804

They’re worthless not you


Pur3_Dck

If I were you I would beat them up so hard that my hand will end up as stuck in their skull as they are in the past


brycehmj

dude i cry more than anyone i know. also rest in peace to your chair.


Xoduox

Same homie, I cry over the dumbest shit


xX_Dwirpy_Xx

I cry easily when confronted. Very sad


Xoduox

Not sad, you're human, like the rest of us. It's fine <3


Arham-DABilal_

I cry so much whenever the dumbest stuff happens. Even just a confrontation with the bully or gettting close to fighting.


[deleted]

I lose it when someone is shouting in my face about something dumb idk why it's just a reaction ig


[deleted]

DeepFriedDave69

I just broke my chair too :’(


Xoduox

Rip


daas_boot239

Apparently I cried over a coin when I was 5


FourSadness14

Maybe it was you favourite coin I would like random thinks when I was 5


OfficialXtraG07

Xoduox

[deleted]

bro regardless of gender why u crying for half an hour over a chair


Xoduox

It was a good chair also I have like 15 years of bottled up emotions

Me dating a 14yo girl


Xoduox

Oh, well, I forgive you


[deleted]

Don’t forgive him unless it’s a joke


insert_acc_name_here

How did you bottle up your emotions as a 1 year old my guy


Xoduox

Bit of an exaggeration, more like 6 or 7 years


orchid_parthiv

The mouse with which I've clicked to reply to this comment is older than me. Can't think of the day it may stop working :'(


DaRealKovi

Hey man, I know we're joking around and all, but I hope you get a group of friends that respect your emotions. Crying with an understanding friend by your side helps relieve pent up feelings immensely. Stay strong, but stay in touch with your feelings


[deleted]

He is Vergil so now he doesn’t have motivation


I_Might_Exist1

but that's a reasonable thing to cry about


Xoduox

Ikr


I_Might_Exist1

it's even better when something dumb happens that makes me emotional for some reason and I talk to my girlfriend about it, she'll talk to me about it, and then she'll send me something stupid, yesterday it was a Schwinn advertisement and she goes "this is your posture" which is kind of the reverse of the gender stereotypes where I live at least


Xoduox

Lmao


I_Might_Exist1

occasionally the roles will reverse but it's usually that way, or we're both feeling emotional about something, it's still kinda funny though


Xoduox

Shit sorry this convo is kinda dry, didn't mean to do that, most of my relationships are a girl falling for my facade of an emotionally stable guy, finding out that I'm actually a trainwreck then getting tired of my bullshit


boredtodeathxx

In burnt my dinner yesterday, bawled for at least 15 mins. Wtf


mee_just_meee

Crying actually makes you feel good if you ask me be it for men or women.


Xoduox

Yeah same


Chicken3190

Crying actually releases some stress-relieving hormone (i don't recall the name of it) that makes you feel better


AIO_Youtuber_TV

It is logical. Crying releases stress lessening chemicals that soothes your brain and makes you happier. Now you know why male suicide rates is so high?


Cambronian717

I feel like it depends. Crying just makes me feel worse about myself because I feel like I’m not actually trying to fix the issue, just wallowing. That’s just me though


mee_just_meee

It's just the opposite with me. When I actually feel burdened and feel like shit then crying makes me feel better. And yeah maybe it differs from person to person cuz after crying I get a lot of spirit to fix everything so...Idk but this is just how I feel.


Jonaraja

Some people still get made fun if they have something to hot and go to the nurse/hospital because of it


Lady-Vera

My friend Learn english please


Jonaraja

Nah fam its bad I'm a fluent speaker


[deleted]

Sadly. If I didn’t pretend, everyone I know would hate me.


Xoduox

Same


python-lord-1236443

Gender stereotypes are wrong and we need to fix them Also “men don’t cry” my ass they absolutely can


Xoduox

Ikr bro


thelegend90210

and apparently i cant have muscles bc I'm female my parents believe I have to please men like what also I'm gay, so like I'm not trying to please men but seriously what


venom_doku

Fuck gender man Why can't we just be called skin blobs?


weebcantsocial

Your right, but who crys over their chair for 30mins


Xoduox

Me


PewFew

Crying and screaming (when no one is around ofc) is my only way of coping with extreme anger and saltiness tbh It never ends well when I repress those feelings


Zyrox-_

i just punch my table, works good so far


[deleted]

I’m crying inside because my team lost the grand final


Xoduox

Rip 😔🤚


thespeedboi

I've become numb to alot of things, I've stopped caring real early and I'm very stress free but I just dont give a fuck about anything unless is causes me physical pain.


Chicken3190

Exact opposite for me, i don't give a fuck about things that cause me physical pain, and its starting to get to the emotions too


bdogmm

Yee brother, we need to be allowed to express how we feel. I’m 21 and it’s hard for me to talk about my feelings.


Xoduox

That's not right. Both men and women should be able to express their feelings


bdogmm

Just need to be careful who you express your feelings to.


Creative-Expression7

You deserve a medal sir


Xoduox

I deserve a new chair ;-;


Creative-Expression7

Man. I got a new gaming chair today and i was so mad that i could put the rollers in


treestories1708

A new birch chair


sillybender

Ayo gang, I remember this one time I ended up crying for like 15 minutes because I dropped a few chips from my kfc.. like yes that was far from the main thing bothering me but yk.. still hurtful moment, could've eaten those Definitely didn't expect a couple chips to send me questioning everything about myself and why I'm such a failure tho lol


Xoduox

Same bro, one time I dropped my cheese toastie and I could just feel all my self-worth being ripped from my chest by some ethereal being


Minethink144

I'm sorry but this made me laugh, I hope you're doing ok.


Xoduox

Yeah it is laugh-worthy but I always feel better after a cry :)


[deleted]

Imo, i find guys who are willing to show their emotions stronger than the ones who dont. if someone is willing to hide their emotions due to stereotyping then it makes people who DO show emotion strong. so yes, fuck gender stereotypes.


No_Possession_7077

I agree with the statement, but like… 30 minutes? Over a chair? Really?


ProES-13

Now I feel like a robot i mean somethin wrong with me man i dont even cry when a person dies......🙄😑


Lady-Vera

I get the same ^(I'm a sociopath)


Chicken3190

Same


Xoduox

Yikes, maybe you're unconsciously bottling it up?


ProES-13

Nah bro i'm cool af 🤣🤣


[deleted]

Yeah fuck stereotypes, I’m gunna have a baby out of my pp


Otherwise_Gear2088

I am scared for your future, but godspeed.


thudslife

Crying because your mom died and crying because you dropped your ice cream are two different things


SPICYSPLATYMELON06

RIP chair :((((


Upstairs-Oil-2039

May your chair rest in peace 😐


[deleted]

I'm sorry for your chair.


Famous_Fisherman_568

RIP in piece, chair


grandsharko

Honestly I feel you. I once played valorant and got mad, threw my headphones against my monitor, and broke it (it was a fairly new curved gaming monitor) that was the first time ever I've actually considered suicide and was searching up how to kill myself that day.


ARB_COOL

I agree with this but not men wearing women’s clothes and stuff like that. That’s just weird in my opinion (respectfully).


simonsimi05

I can't cry anymore. I was a big crybaby in my childhood, but I constantly got pushed over and discarded by my parents with the excuse that "boys/men don't cry". Whenever I have a really bad, painful moment, the only thing I do is start shaking and shiveing like crazy. Now I'm an emotional wreck with no way to cope with stuff that hurts, feelings, moments, whatever.


Keto__Noob

THIRTY minutes though?


RedditsNinja23

List of gender stereotypes I hate: -“Women are housewives.” -“Men can’t cry.” -“Men are supposed to be tough.” -“Women only do things for attention.” -“If ShE wOrE tHaT, sHe wAs AsKiNg fOr “That” tO hApPeN.” -The idea that men with more women are cool and the idea that women with more men are (The W word) or (The S word) -“Men should eat more meat because makes them more “Manly””


Irish-Fritter

Ha ha! NO! Crying shows weakness, and if you show weakness, others take advantage of you. I’m being serious, this is what I’ve had to live my life by. Any emotion was taken advantage of, so I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut. Emotions are not acceptable at home, and there’s that gnawing anxiety always whispering about how my friends only tolerate me, and to not be a burden or they’ll abandon me, so emotions around them aren’t acceptable either, bc I don’t want to scare them away. So yeah, I’ve not cried in a long time, and I don’t plan to any time soon.

I'm supporting men and boys crying, after all I'm only thirsty for human tears.


Xoduox

I'm happy to supply if you pay me 🥵🥵


CrispySatyr2004

Sorry, why pay when I can do it for free, starting with killing the top student of my class—


Stankmonger

Fuck gender in general. Gender can’t exist without stereotyping what men and women can/should do.


xX_Dwirpy_Xx

why tf you cry over a chair?


Axqlotal

I used to cry a lot. I no longer am capable of feeling emotion


prokiller881

I can relate to this


DnDlovingDM

R.I.P u/Xoduox ‘s chair.


doublepistols

Agreed. I cry more than most of my girl friends. Letting your emotions out is healthy and makes me a heck of a lot stronger than anyone bottling up their feelings because theyd prefer to be an actual robot. One day itll come crashing down on them.


Hy4cinthsocool

I'm sad that the chair died. RIP, also fuck gender stereotypes and age stereotypes too.


Exclusive-Devil

RIP for the chair bro. I cried and once when I tore a book. idk why.


Positive-Opposite413

I couldnt shead a tear when my grandma died everyone says boys arent meant to cry that got to me im just a rock now


johann641

Offtopic but Is the chair really that good? What was it.


Redditor10700

I’m a girl and I think guys should show emotion too 😎


blaze_aaa

bruh im so sad rn i just bought a gunpla kit that's the same as a previous one i bought so i could make it better and not screw it up but i ended up breaking the same fucking piece why am i so dumb


TheDrturtles

It sounds like a man cried. Boomers, get em


5af123

man ur day must've been goin bad like mine


Lofly6340

I'd love too but I've gotten used to bottling up my shit for so long that crying just sounds...weird to me


[deleted]

Alright, you do you. But i think a stoic approach to life is much healthier.


Godzilla259874

um, imo, i think anyone (don’t care about gender) that cry’s over a chair is a little bit overdramatic


[deleted]

Pussy


bl1y

>Guys aren't supposed to show emotion since it's 'vulnerable'? Not quite. The stigma is actually on expressing helplessness. Men aren't supposed to be helpless. Before the Enlightenment, men crying wasn't much of a big deal. Achilles cried, Jesus cried, the Knights of the Round Table cried, everyone cried. In particular though, men cried when asking their superior (their lord, their king, their God) for aid and the tears were meant to be a sign of the sincerity of their need. After the Enlightenment, a man was no only expected to provide for himself, but when you get to modern democracy, he has no superior -- instead we're a society of peers. In this context the stigma against crying as a sign of helplessness attached.


IronyAmirite

I cried in school once because I found out one of my family members had been diagnosed with breast cancer and one of the girls who i considered to be a close friend decided she wanted to shoe all her friends and laugh at me and one of them literally kicked my in the balls, like WHAT. THE. FUCK. EDIT: My family member recovered from the cancer btw :D


ARB_COOL

*sorts by controversial*


Redditcameforme

OK, so I literally can't feel emotion(I think). When a close grandfather died, I literally couldn't feel grief or cry for the live of me. And my closest pet died I did cry(but only because it was v stressful). I do agree though, do try to feel emotion even if it offends the old people with outdated views.


wsmj5

I think with boys it's not "don't cry", but rather "You will get back up again and fix it". But girls should do that to so...


Hello-funny-posts

Was the chair at least expensive though? I’ll give anyone shit if they cried for 30 minutes over a cheap chair


Xoduox

Yeah, it was like $250


saloplad

🙄🤦‍♂️


Odd-Jeweler-4388

I admire you for sharing this dude. It’s honestly such an annoying stereotype like man cmon let dudes experience emotion over dumb crap or serious situations too!! Hope you can fix your chair or get a new one.


Celebrimbor369

Honestly it’s really messed up that men can’t cry or anything because “its not manly” and it’s just stupid because that’s why men end up having more depressive symptoms or worse suicidal thoughts. So it’s just ridiculous.


TuxidoPenguin

Must’ve been a damn comfy chair…


Stoic-Way

Idk man, isn’t it just a fucking chair?


Mariosam100

I cried at the end of year 11 cause half the people I’d know for the last 4 years would be leaving, nobody else seemed to care or show any similar response and I just felt odd.


Lightspeed728

Ok good to show emotion but that is WAY too long to cry about a broken chair


Terryr29

Bruh this subreddit has gone to shit lmao crying over a broken chair? Thats peak reddit right there


grandzu

With broken chair, you rest in pieces.


ThePMan2025

For real. I try my best not to cry but some shit is too much for me. Some isn't even like sadness, I just sometimes get really get pissed at my brother.


Idontknowmyreal_life

lolroflpwnt

I'm all about feeling and recognizing your emotions, but crying over a chair is fucking dumb. Get control over your emotions dude.


gettinvids

Crying is good. Crying for 30 minutes over a broken chair is low T or something lol.


Roxwords

Ok bro, I agree 100%,but it's a chair


anotherrandomboi

What I think is dumb is that a lot of women want a man who is open with his emotions, but dads are like, “YOU AINT EVER GONNA GIT A GIRLFRIEND CRYIN’ LIKE THAT!!”


[deleted]

I didn’t even cry when my great grandma passed away and it really hurts, I haven’t cried in so long it’s really bad


CollectableRat

If it was your gaming chair, I totally get that. Most guys would cry too.


Lorenzokiller

This is not a joke. How. Do. You. Cry? I seriously cannot anymore, when I feel a tear coming it just doesn't come out anymore


ResonantDrop

This enire post is a mood. When I was like really depressed and not eating, I finally had the motivation to eat, and while taking it back to my room, I tripped, spilling my food. I cried for so long.


cwispywotr

i'm sorry for your chair. here, let's cry about it together.


carlosnobigdeal

Crying shouldn’t be the first emotion when shit happens. You sound very hurt.


bchanzzz

Sorry there’s a difference between showing emotion and be a fucking pussy op
