A hard nut to crack. Heartless. Cold. Arrogant. Stoic. Ruthless.
These words are pretty familiar to those of us who choose to not make a show of our emotions! Oftentimes, people forget that we're humans too! I mean just because we don't put our feelings on show for the world, they assume, and wrongly so, that we've got none!
There are some who are shy. There are some who are afraid to put it all on the line! And then there are some who learn, through experience, that's it's always better to not reveal your true feelings. But the point is, it's our choice at the end of the day and we deserve to atleast exercise it without being judged!
I like to use the example of The Titanic. You know the cruise that was supposed to be unsinkable? It was supposed to be the strongest thing ever made! Yet, it sank. We're no different. People assume we're the strongest. That we don't hurt. But the truth is we do. Perhaps more so than the others. Every time people say mean stuff about us,Every time we're hurt, we feel the pain even though we may laugh it off that moment. We have a real heart, one that is no different from the others'.
Some people are afraid. Afraid, not of their weaknesses, neither of their feelings but afraid of having their vulnerability used against them! I guess that it's not too much to ask for when we expect to have our wishes respected?
Sometimes, we resent the very fact that we've built the wall of resistance around us and as they say, " The worst thing about being strong is that nobody ever asks if you're okay." But the cons outweighs the pros. So, we like to be safe rather than sorry. The hard shell of the egg contains a very soft substance. So is it with people like us! Although, the comparison to egg is a bit tacky, I admit. But you get my point?
