Unfortunately in some relationship dynamics, it hinges on someone being their rock. That rock can offer mental stability and when that’s threatened it can change the dynamic in that it changes the way you view that individual. It really relies on big change from the normal, It’s sad, but common. You can lose interest in someone based off of their insecurities.

I’ve come to learn that crying has never done anything except make more trouble and doesn’t solve the issue. It’s not that I don’t get sad, I just don’t care to let others know(kind of care free). Unfortunately a decent amount of people I know (guys) would likely avoid you if were emotional.

Maybe that crying is considered to be emotionally immature. I know it’s wrong, but it’s how I feel about other guys showing anxiety/crying. It’s toxic and should be stopped.

Same with blowing of steam/venting (I may be biased from my work culture) where grinding out work is the normal and complaining is frowned upon.
