Dark humor is often my way of dealing with gross things like emotions. Sure, talking about feelings and stuff is probably more productive and healthy, but it doesn't stoke that pent up sadness and frustration that I've been balling up in my gut for years. I've worked hard for my anxiety, depression, and the lump in my throat. And you want me to throw that all away and share my feelings? What? You want me to be emotionally well-balanced or something? Come on, Bro, that's outrageous.
