I want to cry but it won't come out.
I was like that for decades and experienced thr death of a parent, of a beloved pet etc and while I felt sad I kept supressing it subconciously.
It was only after therapy and learning to identify my emotions clearly that I allowed myself to be vulnerable enough to connect with them.
These days I'm comfortable enough to sit through a sad bit in a film in the cinema with tears running down my face. They are my emotions and I'll feel them if I want to.
I do feel more complete as a person because of this.
