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.

As someone who has lived in the Midwest, the biggest distinction is if I'm in a city, a suburb, or rural town. People in cities can't emotionally afford to be genuine to everybody they meet. Rural folk are suspicious of outsiders, but will help you hide a body if you're in the group. Suburbians can be a happy medium, at least in my experience.
