Why do I get judged for opening up about my feelings?

It is hard to, so I do it here and with the crisis text line, so it is anonymous. But, I am judged no matter what I say or where.

Sadly many see that as a sign of weakness. A sign that we were content to leave ourselves vulnerable to hurt and for inspection by another. Mainly by men as men --ok boys- have never learned tr open up to their feelings. much less express them. So they see prey when one that does talk of then do. Note that IS boys. Men--who have advance past the Cromagnum and Neanderthal stage of life and are content in their being and have learned TO FEEL--and to FEEL for another--are a different story. They have more compassion.

I speak of my feelings all the time in my stories. they do not get read-but I do not expect them to.

Sorry this happens to you .
