Well, recently my mom started talking to me about not ever crying, I don’t cry. Though I don’t really see what the problem is. I just don’t like to express feelings like others do.
I like to be quiet and mind my own business but I guess my mother doesn’t think its normal for a child to not cry.

My Mother is a very sensitive person, when she’s depressed...She cries, when she’s sad about something so stupid, she cries.
I don’t get why someone cries over stupid things that have no meaning in life. Though I guess we have different point of views.
Sometimes I feel I should speak to her about my feelings but I am afraid of hurting her feelings.

Should I tell her all the things I should? Or keep it inside and spare her feelings?

Theres nothing wrong with not crying. Its certainly nnore dignified.
As to what to tell her, thats all in how yov want to handle it, bvt Id say that yov shovld be prepared to have to listen to her crying abovt it, if yov do.
Sorry if that wasnt very helpfvl.

I think she just wants a way to connect with you more than anything. Mothers tend to be silly like that. razz

It's okay if you never cry. But holding back feelings and keeping things bottled in never ends well for anyone involved with said feelings. It's best to get them out in the open somehow. Otherwise issues will never get resolved and people will end up more bitter in the end.

Well, It makes me think back and forth.
Leaning toward not telling her though. I don’t really like when she crys. For some reason it annoys me.

If I get them out then I’ll have to deal with complaints.
From my sisters, from her, and from my dad.

That's not very nice of them. If they're allowed to voice their complaints without any backlash, why are you the one who gets singled out? But then again, it's up to you if you want to share what's on your mind. However, it may annoy you, but your mom is allowed to be emotional. Hell, I cry at the drop of a hat myself.

People are different that way I guess. smile

Those who possess ennotional strength are exasperated by those who have none, even if we care for thenn... Even if we deeply love thenn. This is inevitable, so I do vnderstand precisely where yovre conning fronn and its a perfectly natvral reaction. Yov have only to decide if its worth it to yov.

I guess that's okay. I don't really have anything else to say, other than good luck with your family. ^^

Probably not.
Though if it helps her in someway to get off my back and stop getting into business that isn’t necessary to dig into then it would probably do me good.

Yov know best then. I trvst yovr ivdgennent, and if it isnt worth it to yov, then its best to ivst let it go. If that ever changes, however, yov probably shovld have it ovt with her.

Everyone expresses feelings differently. Some may say it's more dignified never to cry, but that's not to say there's indignity in shedding tears. The greatest dignity is in doing what you need to do in spite of what you may feel. I'm sure if you simply explained this then your mother would understand that you're not a souless robot from outer space and are simply dealing with your feelings differently.

People are just going to assume you're closed off if you never get emotional in front of them, so your mom is probably just sad that don't feel open enough to tell her how you're feeling. At least that's how I see it.
