Men and women can both be over-emotional. Men just don't see getting angry as an emotional response for some reason.
Like honestly how you gonna break a controller and say that wasn't emotionally driven?
Yessss this. Why do dudes act like explosion of anger are less emotional than when women cry or whatnot. At least we don't break stuff and hurt people when we're emotional.
In my experience it's more of a matter of stability. Men tend to be stable until they explode. Women tend to cry more and generally express emotions more but they rarely go apeshit the way men can. But men don't only express their emotions outward, it would be unfair to say that men just go on a rampage when they finally snap, the number of suicides is higher among men as well. It's imo due to upbringing and generally just the culture of "men gotta be strong, men shouldn't cry or express a lot of emotions etc". But it's better for one's mental health not to suppress emotions and to seek professional help when one suspects mental health issues (and it's better for others too, fewer emotionally bottled up people means fewer fights and abuse to their loved ones).
Honestly, these gender roles that cause all this emotional tension in men just need to crawl into a bush and die. They're not good for anyone.
I agree that there's definitely a gendered difference in how people process emotions, but I disagree that not wanting to emote all the time is itself a reason for the differing suicide rate and such. There are different ways to deal with emotion, it's not a one-method-fits-all thing.
I agree with that but I think you missed my point (or maybe I just didn't express it well enough), your internal preference to hide your emotions is fine, there indeed isn't a one size fits all approach here, but what's driving men to suicide and anger explosions is the external expectation and pressure not to show emotion. Being told by other people that you shouldn't show emotions even when you really want to because you were born with this or that between your legs is what's the root of the problem, not personal preference.
