@thehighhopes5336 6 лет назад

I never understood why people always say "sorry " when they start to cry. People seem to do that automatically. You just got the worst news a parent can get. There is no need to apologize. You have every right to react any way you want.

@ryancampbell2969 6 лет назад

Patrick Wagener I was about to say the same thing. "Nah, Momma, you're good, nothing to apologize for!"

@misterjakemczilla 5 лет назад

Patrick Wagener well if I were to start crying in front of someone, I would say sorry too because i feel like I would be making them uncomfortable. I know I would feel uncomfortable if someone started crying in front of me

@EriumKross 5 лет назад

So true. I do the same thing. That's interesting that we feel we need to apologize for feeling that way. I guess we feel embarrassed and vulnerable when we cry.

@xander1756 5 лет назад

It's conditioning. Some cultures believe it's impolite or wrong to show negative emotion publicly. Folks give consession to kids for open expression, but we're taught to hide our real selfs as we age. Even worse for males, who are denigrated for being emotional.

Of all the people that do things like this, JJ Watt may be the greatest ever. I am a Giants fan and I have MONSTER RESPECT for JJ. From his help with the Hurricane Harvey survivors to the Santa Fe school shootings to Make a Wish, I've never seen anyone more charitable, with an almost indomitable will to help. My hat's off to JJ Watt. You truly are awesome.

Absolutely moving and beautiful story JJ Watt is the epitome of the NFL. He is the most amazing man ever he gives so much to everybody, no matter who you are. And he doesn't just do it for PR he does it because he loves. I really hope he comes to Buffalo. The bills Mafia has always been about charity and love. We want your love here in Buffalo. If you see this we need you and want you and we would embrace you with open arms.
