Emotions

Some emotions can be easily expressed while others may be difficult. I am a typical male who does not like to share or show certain emotions. A few emotions that are difficult for me to share are: Pain, Sadness, or Sickness. I feel that if the people around me see me like one of these things they will think of me as a weak male. When I have people who care and depend on me around me a lot the last thing I want them seeing is me hurt, sick or sad. I want to be in good health, strong, and always in a good mood. I think that society makes us feel this way. Society makes us as guys feel as though it is a bad thing to show our emotions. In some ways maybe I could be a little more open with them but as I stated earlier I don't want people looking at me and thinking that I am weak. I do have an emotion that I show quite easily, and that is frustration. I tend to get frustrated and upset quite often. I feel that this is because of the amount of stress I have in life. I work full time, go to school full time, and have a girlfriend that I live with. This doesn't sound too terrible. And its not... I make it more stressful than it needs to be and therefore get frustrated when I don't get enough time to myself. This is something that I need to work on. I need to create more time for myself so I do not get the feeling of overwhelming stress and frustration so much. I think having more time to myself will eliminate some of that stress and overall make it easier on those around me who have to deal with this frustration.
