You forgot

*bathe furiously whilst stopping to occasionally glare at the human for inconveniencing me

It’s not just you, fascism sympathizers are on the rise everywhere 😕 How quickly the world forgets its own history.

Lied to about what?

Because anti-vaxxers exist.

Sounds like a solid plan!

It’s a lot of work for sure. Good luck to you 🙂 🤍

Ultimate dream? To have my mortgage paid off so I can have a bit more breathing room every month. I’ll get there eventually, I’m just impatient 🙂

Perfect for that subreddit 😂

Well, that’ll do it…

It’s not a weakness at all, but you seem determined to believe it is. Having healthy coping mechanisms isn’t weak, bring able to process your emotions rather than pushing them aside is healthy and indicates maturity, not vulnerability.

Wow that’s really shitty, I’m sorry that happened to you. I agree with @lady_maria@lemmy.world’s comment, it’s a very attractive trait for a man to express emotions in a healthy way.

I agree, kids especially are far more empathetic and I’m glad to see it. The kids are alright! 🎶

Views really need to change. We’re all human and crying is a normal human response! Sucks you’re surrounded by people who feel that way 😕 it’s not a weakness at all 🤍

Some good ones have already been covered, so I’ll add that, if I were to break down crying, other women would come over to ask if I’m okay etc. (I’ve held a complete stranger while she sobbed in the middle of a store, after she lost everything in a fire) unfortunately men still face a very weird gender bias that society in general still believes - you never show your emotions.

One of mine is obsessed with plastic wrappers. She’ll run from any area of the house as soon as she hears one. She’ll steal them if they aren’t thrown into the garbage can with a lid. She’s always sad when I won’t let her have it… she doesn’t understand it’s for her own good 😭

The Mummy, The Princess Bride, The Devil Wears Prada and Jurassic Park never get old for me.
