You can't just suddenly stop being something that's been drummed into you from an early age.
I hate to say it, but no way would I cry in the presence of another person.
And I'm an emotional guy.

I remember feeling the same way when my son was born, but the emotion had to be suppressed.
Of course it's typically Northern and it's probably the same in other places around the world.
For right or wrong, for me at least...that's the way it is.
