I write about men and their experiences and the one you describe is that of most Normal Males. The problem...most don't know that it is normal...what they think of as normal is represented by all of the hooligans out their that reality tv displays. You are correct it can be a very isolating space and one that we should all know is normal. Great Thoughts!<br>Dr. Rod<br><a href="http://thenormalmale.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">http://thenormalmale.wordpress.com</a><br><a href="mailto:drrod@thenormalmale.com" rel="nofollow">drrod@thenormalmale.com</a> Thank you for the honesty that came through the post.

I stand up and salute you, my brother, for letting it all hang out. Breaking through the macho B.S. that says guys shouldn't feel so deeply, or show those feelings, is a huge step for men. I'm still working on it myself, every single day. Thank you for sharing this with the world. This post rocks!

I could feel every single thing you talked about - whew! And you asked the question - Can feeling too much shut you down? I know you probably meant it rhetorically, but I'd like to throw in my perspective. YES, it can! The body is only effective at "being with" unpleasant emotions for short bursts (like 20 minuets at a time). After that, it's important to bring pleasure back in. While it's important to "be with" the past, it's pleasure that gives us our passion for life, and pleasure heals the past. Most of us don't know how to feel in such a way that the feeling can get complete. We either feel and feel and feel, and make ourselves miserable. Or we shut it down. But there are really powerful tools for actually finishing the job of feeling. (You know where to find me if you want to talk more!). And finally, on behalf of the Goddess, THANK YOU for being so real! It gives all of us the freedom to do that too. Lots of love, Ellie Michael, thank you for such beautiful writing! I could feel every single thing you talked about – whew!

And it's nice that this can be shared honestly, without a stigma attached. Surely Michael, in my opinion, sharing this only makes you a tougher and wiser man.

The only difference was that I was on a camping trip with two friends and there was no where for me to hide! I went so deeply into myself that I shut these other two people out. Only now, 5 months later, am I beginning to open back up. It came from not wanting to be closed-hearted anymore. I called my friend and apologized for shutting him out. I also asked him for help and patience as I begin practicing being more responsible for my own state and letting my loved ones in rather than shutting them out. The hardest part is being vulnerable. That takes courage and strength. Thanks for your courage and strength Michael. many blessings to you I had a similar ’shut down’ this summer.
