Prince, I appreciate your detailed and insightful response.

And call me a "why" woman, but for me, I am curious about why...
1) some (all?) emotions are unwelcome (who said they should be, in your life?)
2) expressing them is seen as a negative thing (again, who taught you that?),
3) and why all feelings need to be explained clearly? (I don't think they do, at all... in fact, in my experience, sometimes it's much better to express an emotion, even without understanding it, and have someone comfort you without a word...)

Do you think your reasoning re: emotions is a guy's-brain thing, or just something that any gender could inherit/learn, given one's upbringing?
