I don't like displaying emotional weakness in front of others. By "weakness" I mean; acting like a whiny ass little bitch, being dependent on others, insecurity, being scared, anger/irritated, sad/crying, etc.

I used to do this quite a bit when I was younger and I hate the fact that I ever acted like this. It never seemed to occur to me to keep a lid on that nonsense and how it would make me look.

I am, by nature, emotionally reserved, so it is odd that I would even act like that in the first place.

I've been training myself and learning techniques on controlling my emotions. I do feel weak emotions, but I feel them to myself and in privacy. Its rare for me to expetience weak emotions, though.

With the exception of occasionally asking for advice, I don't depend on others to help me with my problems, that to me would be weak. Instead, I deal with all of my problems myself. I am dependent on myself.

Is this normal?

    Of course it is normal to better yourself and not be emotionally weak. I wish more people were this way. Dependent and whiny people can be incredibly difficult to be around.

    And yet you came here :P

    I wish I was as conservative as you make yourself out to be.

    I think it's fine unless you completely shut off. And there should be at least one person in your life that you can "talk" to. Whether that be a parent or a friend or a girl/spouse.
