The Part of Me Nobody Sees
Strangers think I am not approachable because of how my face is always stern whenever I am walking on the street. Neighbours think I am gentle because of how I act around them. Close friends think I am easy to interact with, while my family think I am nice but stubborn. But no one knows about the vulnerable part of me because that is a part I refuse to show anyone.
I might be going through heartbreak and pain, and you will see me, tell me about your problems, and I will comfort you. You will not know that I am also going through a heartbreak because I will put my problems aside to attend to yours.
I have always been like this since the moment I became old enough to be independent.
But I am a totally different person when I am alone with no one watching. Who says men do not cry? I shed tears when I am alone. I let the hot tears flow freely because, at that moment, it is just me and God. I do not need humans to comfort me. God is capable.
I remember some years back, I was going through heartbreak and my elder sister saw me and asked what happened to me. I said nothing. She is someone who can tell when I am sad or when something is wrong just by looking at my face. I guess she can read my facial expressions well, no matter how hard I try to hide them. But then, I never tell her.
She was always right, just that I do not like to share that part of me with her, and not with others too. I go quiet and stay alone when I do not feel good, and when I am happy, I go out again to meet my people.
So, in private, I am someone who lets his guard down, stops pretending to be strong, and lets his emotions get the best of him.

I burst out laughing when I read that first line because that was literally me a few years ago 😂
Of course men are allowed to cry when they're feeling down. Honestly, nobody can be strong all the time. Sometimes we can’t keep bottling everything up inside there, Sometimes we just need to talk to someone around us. Even if they can't fix the problem, just saying it out loud already makes you feel a bit lighter.
I'm usually the type to keep my emotions and problems to myself, but there are moments when I just have to let it all out, and I always feel better after. And yes, I cry when I need to 😂. So, Men are not demigods or something. They break down too. They have their own struggles and they feel things just like everybody else. So yeah, it's totally okay for a man to cry.
I still have people tell me that I frown a lot when I am walking outside, I guess there is nothing I can do about it lol
Hmm your type is rare cos ladies don't often keep their emotions to themselves especially when they have someone they can share it with, it is mostly men that hide it ...
My wife would often say she would like to see me cry cos she is yet to see it, I would just smile lol
Hehehe, Of course I know people like that, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it, but when you meet those people, they are actually nice, so I have people like that too.
Maybe the reason why I can manage to do that is maybe because I’m not the talking type. I never can tell, somehow I just manage to
Your wife is funny 😂😂, I think most men won’t cry in front if the women, no matter what, because if they do, that means that water don pass Garri, buts it’s rare sha.

That is a strong one, you're absolutely right,men do cry, the difference is that men are highly blessed with endurance and self control.
Yea I agree with you
Man also cry and I have seen many. Crying after a heartbreak is normal but I think very few people can open up the issue with family. So, I can understand for not choosing to share.
Yea, as a man, I prefer tackling my problem on my own than share especially when I know they can't solve the problem...
It's okay to cry and let your emotions down ....buh don't let it weigh you down forever . get up and keep moving
I think we all have that one person who just looks at us and can tell when there is a problem.
