People who identify as male/masculine, do you feel comfortable expressing your emotions/feelings to people irl? Do people who identify as female/feminine feel more comfortable espressing feelings? (sh.itjust.works)

As a guy, I never really felt comfortable saying those things to anyone irl.

Afab. Never been good expressing deep emotions. Or liked feeling vulnerable. Sometimes stuff slips out if I'm drunk and in company of a trusted person, but I always get a "moral hangover" if it happens, so to speak.

    Drunkenly dumping emotions on family and friends isn’t great. Used to do that in my 20’s. Took some therapy and a great partner to work on my emotional intelligence

    Oh no, never dump. I might vent, or open up and share something I otherwise wouldn't, I'm not a messy drunk and would hate being an inconvenience. I always regret it in the end because I'm not used to letting my guard down. But I agree that it's an issue all the same.
