Emotional Bleeding

Why is it considered weak to portray emotions? Isn’t it supposed to be a display of strength? For a while, I have had this dilemma of why when a person bleeds physically, people get really worried and sympathetic, but when someone bleeds emotionally, no one acknowledges that. Even when physical bleeding heals faster, and emotional bleeds take ages. Emotional bleeding is like those cracks on Earth that cannot be healed by just fixing the upper layer on it. Something stays broken when you bleed emotionally, and often, it’s very hard to repair.
I really want to go back in history and relive the moment, when the first person shunned an emotionally bleeding person away, and it became something almost forgotten. I want to see whether it was Adam who did this to eve? Or was it the social beliefs related to patriarchy? I am not a feminist. Trust me, I am not. But something seems to be broken in this society. I mean somewhere, some alien invaded, and humans went all wrong.
I mean when did we start associating muscles as symbols of strength and emotions as weak? Oh, yea. That was probably the Greeks. Maybe Greeks were aliens? Or maybe it really began with Adam. I want to visit the exact point in history when someone first shoes away an emotionally weak person because they felt it was irrelevant.
Well, I think all of us are constantly bleeding emotionally and a part of us is broken and cannot be repaired. Like the part, where we dissed our beloved crayons for the herd mentality and our unending need to fit in. Ever since the time, we decide that going to be an adult is going to be the shit. Or when we are troubled teenagers. We are constantly bleeding emotions.
