Stop Apologizing for Tearing Up

This episode features a passage from Tom Gentry. Read more like this on Substack.<a target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3X8vYvh">Subscribe to Tom’s Substack publication:</a><a target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3X8vYvh"> The Manifest</a> For the most part, we're losing the argument that men should embrace their emotions. It doesn't matter how many football players go on television and tell us it's okay to talk about our feelings if we never bother to challenge the belief that to have feelings is to be weak.To be emotional does not mean to be a mess, or to be weak. We don't have to choose whether to be strong or to feel. We can do both. It's a false choice.No matter what we believe, no matter what we're taught, shedding tears, or, for that matter, having emotions in general, does not make you weak.In fact, when you're living in a culture where you're raised with that message, where the societal standard is to act as though you are not emotional, to refuse to adhere to that norm is an act of bravery.So, Just a Thought. Rather than asking yourself, should I feel or should I not, ask yourself, would I rather be an impostor, or would I rather be real?Do I want to be an emotional cripple, or do I want to be myself?<a target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/2ISXlFp">Visit </a><a target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3X8vYvh">tomgentry.net</a><a target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/2ISXlFp">.</a> © Copyright 2023, Tom Gentry; Music: Worky Worky by Andy G.

We Can Be Strong & Emotional at the Same Time

This episode features a passage from <a target="_blank" href="https://tgentry.substack.com/p/dispelling-the-myth-that-for-men">The Road to Hell is Paved with Suppressed Emotions</a><a target="_blank" href="https://tgentry.substack.com/p/resisting-painful-emotions">, by Tom Gentry</a>. It was published February 24, 2023, on Substack.<a target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3X8vYvh">Subscribe to Tom’s Substack publication:</a><a target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3X8vYvh"> The Manifest</a> There's nothing courageous about pretending not to hurt, and swallowing your tears.We act as if a man only has two choices. He can either be a basket case, or he can be someone who never feels at all. It's just not true.There's a way of being in which a man is strong, and expresses sadness. It's not one or the other. I do it. My son does it. I know plenty of men who do it.We're given a false choice. We're taught we have to choose whether to be emotional or to be strong. We don't. In fact, we can't. Emotions are not really a choice. Either we choose to feel them, or sooner or later they have their way with us.Because we pretend that men don't or shouldn't have emotions, there's no opening to teach men how to have emotions.So, Just a Thought. Ask yourself. Do I fall into this trap of black and white thinking when it comes to emotions? And if you do. Try to be more objective about it. <a target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/2ISXlFp">Visit </a><a target="_blank" href="https://tgentry.substack.com/p/dispelling-the-myth-that-for-men">tomgentry.net</a><a target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/2ISXlFp">.</a> © Copyright 2023, Tom Gentry; Music: Worky Worky by Andy G.
