By Stefanie, Laura Doyle Certified Relationship Coach<\/em><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re raised to be strong and resilient and, most of all, equal, the idea of becoming vulnerable is low on your to-do list.<\/p>\n

Why be weepy when it can make you look \u201ctouched\u201d–like a nut job with a screw loose?<\/p>\n

Who wants to be sensitive and soft when what\u2019s rewarded in the world is being undemonstrative and competent?<\/p>\n
