    I never seek out emotional support. The only men in my life are my dad who I live with and my brothers who live across the country. I have zero interaction with other males besides the casual hellos and good mornings with coworkers. I don't really see what the point would be, they can't help. I have a girlfriend but I mostly don't tell her my true feelings. I learned very young to handle it all myself and it tends to make me resent really emotive people who always want to talk about their feelings because it's like. Get it together, ya know. Hard to relate to people. I'm more vulnerable with people on Hexbear than I am with anyone I know in real life.

      This one got me good. My cat passed last year after sixteen years and I commented about it on Hexbear that day while struggling to deal with the emotions that I normally lock away. I didn't tell any of my friends about my cat's passing for like three months because I didn't want to tear up around them because it would feel weird.
