10 Signs You’re An Emotionally Challenged Woman

Women might be considered the more emotional sex, but that doesn’t apply to all of us. Some of us struggle with the whole feelings thing — having them and expressing them. If you’re an emotionally challenged woman, too, you’ll definitely relate to the following:

1. You rarely cry. You can watch a series of romantic chick flicks for your movie marathon and finish them all without shedding a tear. In really rare moments that you do cry, you do it in the shower or any place where there’s zero chance that you’ll be seen by anyone.
2. You hate it when people try to comfort you. When you’re stressed or feeling down, people attempt to comfort you in the best way they can, by offering you a hug or to shoulder to cry on. You try your best to tell them you’re OK and that you don’t need any comforting, but they don’t seem to believe you, and it’s awkward as hell.
3. You loathe emotions, day in and day out. Yes, you know you’ve got feelings, but that doesn’t mean you have to like them. You don’t want to give anyone the “feels” or you won’t let any guy get close enough to you to get a chance to give you any. Thanks, but no thanks!
4. You’re unmoved by other people’s emotional outbursts. A friend just pulled all types of drama in public and all you can do to make her feel better (and stop the annoying public meltdown that’s drawing people’s attention to you) is a “reassuring” pat on the back. You then expect her to calm down, stat.
5. You’re burdened by having to explain how you feel. For you, it’s a more daunting task than cleaning your entire apartment in just a day. You’d rather just tell them that you’re sleep deprived or that you have a stomach ache that’s why you seem quiet and lethargic.
6. You don’t really care if anyone thinks you’re a bitch or cold-hearted. They can make wild and misguided guesses all they want. You couldn’t care less if they get it wrong and think negatively about you, because they don’t know you or your life.
7. You don’t “get” relationships. You can’t wrap your head around the idea that you’ve got to tell someone how you feel, confide your deepest fears to them, and be in constant communication with them. On the flip side, you overanalyze what relationships are all about (but you still miss the mark when you do). This is ultimately the reason why you’re single AF and proud of it.
8. You cringe when you see couples display any kind of PDA. You want to tell them to suck it up and act like adults, but then you realize you can’t, because it’s really not your place, and you don’t know what you have against other people’s happiness, anyway.  Plus, causing unnecessary drama isn’t really your thing.
9. Your laugh is awkward and forced all the time. You’ve gotten used to people thinking you’re a psycho because of the way you laugh, but you can’t help yourself because it’s just the way you are. It’s not that you don’t have a killer sense of humor, just that you’re trying not to be rude when people really aren’t funny but think they are.
10. You have that glorious resting bitch face. And you know people around judge you for it, but who cares? It’s who you are and they’ll just have to deal with it.
