I agree too.
Many people don't even like any kind of emotional issue. They do seem to think that we are deliberately trying to annoy them by being upset.
I now have difficulty even crying when it's appropriate, esp. after my aunt died because I was so afraid ppl thought I was just "being dramatic" and not "manning up" to my grief (or woman-ing).
thanks,
