I don't cry very often either, and when I do, it's for maybe a minute. I definately do everything I can not to cry infront of people. I hate feeling vulnerable. It makes me feel weak and stupid. This is really hard in therapy, when I feel like I need to cry, but I can't. I shut off my emotions so much, that I'm beginning to wonder if they will ever come back. I don't even try to stop myself anymore, it just happens automatically. It feels like there is so much burried inside, that it's suffocating me. I wish I could cry in therapy now, but I also don't feel safe enough to. I'm not sure how to fix it, just know that you aren't alone in this.
