Being a male and a nurse, I have become especially proficient in compartmentalizing my emotions so I can process them in my own time. The middle of a code where everyone is covered in blood and desperately trying to save a life is not the place to pull Becky aside and tell her how fucking rude and idiotic her comments have been for the past half hour. And Becky hasn't ever learned how to do this because she hasn't needed to. All the women in my unit seem to be able to freely vent and express their emotions and it's viewed as normal. Therefore the angry verbal abuse I catch is just normal and I'm the bad guy for not wanting to put up with it. So, after my shift I hit the gym and I let it all out on the barbell or machines. Then I usually feel embarrassed for having these emotions so after I usually go for a hike to calm down. At least this unhealthy process of pretending to not emotionally react to anything is balanced out by physically healthy exercise.
