There’s a taboo against crying which makes it dramatic when we do. You better have a good reason for doing it or you may as well kill yourself like the others.

I don't see anything wrong with men showing their emotions.!!!I wrote a blog about this a while ago and was heavily criticised by a certain member here who is against feminism.

pedro27: im on anti depressant's since 2000 in my sorrow and sadness I had bouts of weeping and whaling I am unashamed too say.
my story could help others to beat sadness and sorrow
Pedro..there's nothing wrong at all with crying and if you're sad and depressed it's a way of releasing those emotions.my story could help others to beat sadness and sorrow
Better than keeping it all bottled up!
Tears are cleansing!

aries1234: Yes I agree with you but also at sadness unhappiness joy happiness, i have been known to cry over a particularly poignant movie , but quietely.
Yep, get what you say again...and I will admit to not watching a couple of films or looking away at others because I'd find the content to distressing...some music can have a similar effect...when I was a teen, I bought an album called 'octoberon' by Barcley James Harvest, the closing track was called 'suicide' and featured a 90 second outro of someone preparing to take their own life...my gf and I were in bits over that....also, some classical music gets to me...------ This thread is Archived ------

The sort of opposite is true for women: studies have shown that the more oppressed women are in a society, the more likely emotions like anger are expressed by crying.
The last thing you want a group of oppressed people to do is get angry as they are more likely to rebel.
The 'boys don't cry' rule has been said to have evolved in fairly recent climates of world war. The last thing you want soldiers to do is empathise with other people.
In situations where there are 'feeling rules' we have to do a lot of 'emotional work' to suppress our true feelings and express ourselves in a way in which our societies deem appropriate. As mentioned above by Lulu, this leads to physical ailments. As well as that, it leads to a disconnect with our emotions, emotional issues remain unresolved and we end up mental health issues, or inhibited personal development.
It took me a long time to realise my tears were very often an expression of being really, really pissed off. Once I worked it out and I became more in touch with my anger, it became a lot easier just to say, 'I'm feeling pissed off...', or 'I'm so angry...'

Arthur,What do you think of Ludovico Einaudi’s “Berlin Song”??

That's a conversation you should have have with my eldest girl, she's a pianist and is mad for Einaudi and Michael Nyman (I'm a philistine, Hans Zimmer), but really, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, the romantics... Oddly enough, I posted in the music section a song by the Enid...the composer, Robert Godfrey would be a man cast from that musical time...in truth, anything that stirs the emotions... This thread is deeper than one would at first think... Lots of things worthy of consideration...What do you think of Ludovico Einaudi’s “Berlin Song”??

I’d enjoy discussing Einaudi. I spoke with him after his performance in Riga. He confirmed what I had suspected - that he paints with music connecting sound and sight > Chromesthesia.
The retuning of the instruments also contribute to the physical response people have in listening to his music.
Yes, men were crying.

pedro27: Ranaldo got a red and he cried, now everyone in social media calling him bad names for it
also consider suicide is the biggest killer of young males, from bottleing up their emotions
I would hope that it's acceptable now, Pedro but there's a different between Ronaldo crying over his million dollar contract being in jeaopardy and a man who's hurt to the corealso consider suicide is the biggest killer of young males, from bottleing up their emotions

My apologies, when I said about talking to my daughter, that's not a thread... R***** has been to see Einaudi as well, is he the composer that did the music /war performance? or is that Michael Nyman ... I'd be on unsteady ground here... I will listen back to what you posted...cheers... To which thread are you referring?

Yes, Aries, it is very interesting. I have several students and a daughter with it. Several of these students have been erroneously labeled as having mental and emotional problems.
They have a physical response to sounds such as the stress or anger in a person’s voice. One child couldn’t handle the math teacher’s red voice. Another can’t play sports because all the angry voices paints her visual field red and she winds up injuring herself crashing into things!
Other people are sensitive but don’t see the colors anymore. Kind of like a perfume that “disappears” after a few seconds due to desensitization. We still feel it (the color) but can’t see it any more.
It is normal to have physical responses to our surrounding environment.
