DarknessIsMyFriend, if you don't think it's a bad thing, and like the way you are and how you live emotionally, and see no problem with it, I'd say you have your answer. It doesn't matter what other people think. That being said, you bring up an interesting idea. I wonder if it is the times we live in, that everyone is being more open, more emotional, etc. I am very open, emotional, talk about my feelings, etc. But there is more than one way of being and existing in the world. If you're not hurting yourself or other people, I don't see a problem though. And if you were hurting yourself and wanted to, I suppose that would be your prerogative.

Honestly, looking at myself, I tend to be the kind of person who is like, "therapy helps, everyone should go to therapy and talk about their problems and issues and thoughts and feelings." So that's an interesting bias I notice about myself. But nobody can force you to be that way. And obviously you don't have to be that way if you don't want to be.

You said something about people a long time ago like the greeks and romans not being emotional. Is that true? I read somewhere that our ancestors (this might have been before that time) had a ton more testosterone in them, and they fought all the time because of it. I think it was when we started to civilize and get closer to each other in physical proximity, that the testosterone levels started going down. But I just assume that people must have been quite emotional with each other if they were fighting all the time. I'm thinking now though, that you probably mean talking about emotions in a civilized way and like, "working things out," being aware of ones thoughts and emotions.

I see that there are more responses in this thread, and I have not read any of them because I am lazy lol. But I will probably read them after posting this.
