Rant #16807

I hate being emotionally constipated (?) I don’t know if that’s the word I want to use but our whole family is not good with expressing emotions and don’t know how to comfort people. My brother has attempted several times and our parents truly don’t know how to comfort him but instead calls him crazy and thinks that’s going to help him. I’ve tried my best to comfort him but I sound so choppy and awkward I don’t think I come across caring enough
