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.

I feel comfortable expressing my emotions, but I’m less expressive than I might have been due to my upbringing. It usually takes me a little more time to really ‘lean into’ what I’m feeling as well.

I’ve been working on shifting my perspective a bit from my default feeling not being ‘nothing’ but ‘openness’ and I feel this has been having a positive shift for me to embrace what I’m feeling and even what others are feeling.
