to be more precise when i say im the masculin son by that i mean that im the one who does outside work with my dad and fixes things when they need to be and stuff like that which my dad likes(or at least that what my mom says) soi just feel like a failure

Please understand that this is your dad's problem, not yours. He has difficulty showing emotion. You are more sensitive (which is a good thing!) You are not required to be exactly like him, nor should you feel bad about just being yourself. Talk to your mom if this continues to bother you. And try to be understanding of your father's limitations, without taking it personally.

try not to let it bother you. the problem lies in yer dad. He is expecting you to be like you instead of accepting you as you are. Try talking to him about it. Barring that just live your life.
