I don’t cry, and it’s troubling me a lot.

I cannot cry, the last time I cried was when I was still a child. Even during relatives’ deaths, I could not cry, despite every other member of the family doing so. I was the only one.
And now, even when me and my lover go through terrible things, she is the only one who cries, I don’t, and it makes her feel like I don’t care enough to cry, that it doesn’t affect me nearly as much.
But it does, I do feel terrible, I do feel like crying, I feel a knot forming in my throat, a pain in my chest, I tremble and shake and god knows how I can describe it all. I do feel things, but I simply cannot cry, and I very honestly do not know the reason, but I really want to be able to cry, I want to start crying, so that I can show my feelings, and so that she no longer thinks I don’t care about her, that she is not worthy enough for me to shed a single tear over her.

From a neutral view, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven This could age very differently in a week.

Not gonna lie, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s where the disagreement starts Interested to see the follow-up.

Putting bias aside, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s the part people are stuck on That part stands out.

Putting bias aside, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that friction is hard to ignore

Honestly, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone This probably isn’t the last word on it.

From a neutral view, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s where people will push back Interested to see the follow-up. Others will probably see it differently.

this solves one problem while creating another and that’s where it gets complicated That’s what makes this interesting. That’s just my read on it.

On the surface, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven That’s what changes the context.

From a neutral view, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s where people will push back That’s what changes the context. This probably isn’t the last word on it.

the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s where people will push back This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

If you zoom out, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which is why the comments look the way they do That’s just my read on it.
