how to become more manly in terms of emotions

r/

basically i feel i am a very sensitive person. i can get upset or mad slightly easily, and when that happens, it’s very visible. i really don’t like it and i just want to be able to keep those feelings inside without showing them/having them effect me, while still sorting them out myself. i know some people may say it’s not a good thing to do this but i don’t care this is what i want

    Depends on your age. Your experiences in life will help you be less emotional. Because you start asking/telling yourself, you’ve been here emotionally already. And the last time it didn’t go well, or you got upset for no good reason. As cliche as it sounds, be in the present and think of the future.

    Depends on your age, once you reach a certain age some of this goes away.

    Showing emotions has its time and place, but its not frequently especially as you get older.

    You’ll have to mature mentally & emotionally.

    Real men according to tv shows, don’t have emotions. What you’re feeling is completely normal. As a matter of fact, that’s healthy.

    You might be able to control yourself but people will be able to read you.

    I am like very emotional and I laugh a lot and to tears almost and lots of things make me tear up too but if I am angry or upset or whatever I am very short with people and like direct.

    You can try but I think putting all the emotion out of it and just being or getting that kind of mindset would be the main thing.

    Some stoicism. Its a good idea to distance oneself from whatever, first and foremost own stupid thoughts

    Do not put those emotions away OP. Feelings demand to be felt and they will come back in uglier ways. Not only for you but everyone else around you. It can also damage your body, holding onto all that stress and energy.

    What helps is writing it down in a journal. Let it all out. It can be gibberish, doodles, writing how you’re feeling, it doesn’t matter. If you do art, that’s another big one too.

    Ideally you want to get to a point where despite the emotions you feel, you are not swayed by them. Like an oak tree in a thunderstorm.
