Sorry for the bummer question!

saw something that mentioned this being an AMAB-thing, but it definitely happened to me as well, and it just made me wonder how unusual it was to be punished (physically or otherwise) for crying as a girl

you can just yes/no, you don't need to get into it unless you want to

(feel free to unload, probably I'm not the only person who will relate)

Yes. And for being emotional otherwise too. Was also bullied a lot in school and learnt fast to not cry then either or it got so much worse. Can't say I have cried much as an adult as a result, or it might be because I am audhd.

I do believe this is one reason why neurospicy people like me get labelled as not showing emotion. The emotion is very much there, but it's supressed.
