I recently had a situation with my best friend. We were both very hurt, angry, sad... all of it. I cried at home about it but didn't want to let on. But, I cannot control when I am going to cry, it just comes and I can't stop it. I am on the other end of the spectrum and wish that I could stop it. So, we met up in a restaurant and basically "duked it out" and I am still so hurt about things she did. I cried in the restaurant and it was so embarrassing and she sat there and stared at me. No emotion.

I don't know if I find that strange but it's hard for me to understand how that feels.

I do think that since you grew up without an emotional mother, that has a lot to do with it. Mine cried all the time so.... makes sense, right?

We are all different and I don't think traits like this should be negative. It's part of who you are. You feel for others and feel bad about things but just because a tear doesn't come out, doesn't mean you don't feel a certain way.

Dang, this was long!
