A mask of feelings...
Remember how you treat with people. Do you communicate with everyone the same way? Usually with a partner of life in one way, with children - another, and with parents - a third. And don't forget about friends, neighbors, colleagues, coaches, baristas and other people.
There is no universal "man". We all communicate differently. And what does it mean? I think there is no universal behavior, because each person needs a different communication. For example, if I communicate in the same way with sister as with my mother, then there will be issues with both.
Each person has a different character: the same words can encourage one person, and hurt another.
And now let's talk about something else. About the mask. About the mask of feelings that each of us has worn at least once. When you don't want to say what you really feel. However, you put on the mask for people: "I'm fine." But if you are with such a person not for a couple of hours, but longer, then you can see apathy, sadness, tears, and possibly depression.
Open up. Speak up. Cry. Laugh. Remove the mask. It is not a shame to tell. It is a shame to be alone when there are so many people around. Remember that you are not alone.
