>Wow, that sounds familiar....That's exactly how I feel, often! I used to cry so much as a child, and finally I made myself stop because I couldn't stand being called a baby anymore, and now it takes a big, tempestuous grief for me to really cry - I hide my feelings too well now, even from myself.
Just on the lighter side for a moment - have you ever heard of Jack Handy's Deep Thoughts? This is one of my favourites:Today I accidentally stepped on a snail on the sidewalk in front of our house. And I thought, I too am like that snail. I build a defensive wall around myself, a "shell" if you will. But my shell isn't made out of a hard, protective substance. Mine is made out of tinfoil and paper bags.
