Guys, how sensitive are you? How much of the "tough guy, doesn't cry, masculine, etc" is really true?

Question

Guys, are you more sensitive than you let on? How much more?

Also, is there one thing a girl does that tends to hurt your feelings, but you don't let on that it does?

Any feedback (mainly from guys) is appreciated. Thanks gentlemen!

Answer 1

I'm very sensitve to any critcism. And in a relationship with a girl, if the relationship ends and I don't want it to, then I'll act like it doesn't bother me, but it is the most painful thing in the world being abandoned. I'll cry after a relationship ends. And I cry because I am in conflict with myself and whether I believe in God and I feel lonely without God but I don't feel like I can live with a God either. I'm kinda lost in a way. I don't like being held down by God's rules, so I try to make myself believe that I have a different God who doesn't judge me and loves me unconditionally. But I never feel like God is really there and all I can picture him as is a punisher who hates me and wants to control me. So I never sleep because of that.I am comfortable being feminine and masculine at the same time. I don't like the whole macho culture. I like art of any kind.
One thing that really hurts my feelings is when a girl doesn't appreciate how nice you are to them. I hate it when I go out of my way and she doesn't care.

Answer 2

I am a guy, and gay. I tend to keep most of my feelings to myself, unless I am joking around. I tend to have either a deadpan sense of humor, or at the other extreme a foolish sense of humor.

It has been a long time since something made me cry, but that was because of my grandmother dying. She suffered a stroke and had internal bleeding, but we didn't know until after her death. She spent less than five days in the nursing home, but I was with her alone one time. I got up close to her face, and her eyes were opened, and I sang "The Old Rugged Cross." It was the only song I could think of at the time that she would know.

When first I saw her in the casket at the funeral home for the rosary, I was steeled against feelings. But when my mother arrived and I was standing at the casket with her, I really broke down and was uncontrollable.

My psychiatrist told me I had "complicated grief" in addition to my regular diagnosis because of the suicidal thoughts I had been experiencing.

Although I have bipolar disorder (formerly known as "manic-depressive disorder"), I do not cry. This, of course, could be due to that fact that I am on medications.

All human differ only in sex. Physical strength of man is not matter when both are carrying emotional burden. What woman feels feels also by man. Everybody can be sensitive but it depend the situation.
