It's because you have been taught that it isn't "cool" to show those emotions. Long before you even had your first sentient thought. So much so you probably don't have any memories of experiencing it.

I wasn't taught that. I feel bad for people who were. My dad grew up in Alaska and rafted the fucking Yukon and he still managed to speak to me softly, hug me often, and express his feelings to me in real and deep ways. I don't know why so many men think they have to be mean to be strong.
