I've always been quite "over-emotional" by male standards. It was a curse when I was a kid, now as an adult I don't see it that way at all. I no longer feel "weak" for crying, though I did still feel "vulnerable"... isn't that part of what sharing emotions is though? Exposing a part of yourself, being vulnerable to them (if they were out to hurt you). It's through sharing yourself with someone that you find those worth being with.
