Okay so I know it's something women are prone to, being intra-whatever it's called, internalizing everything, chewing on their feelings so to speak.
Guys (myself generally included) view feelings as something to get over with.


However, about 20 minutes ago, I arrived for football practice (we have a game today, yet I still have not gotten my equipment as I've been absent for a month due to Ramadan and fasting)
I panicked like hell going to the locker room the opposite way of everyone else in a narrow hall.
What I noticed was no one was wearing their equipment. Due to this being my first game day, I didn't know that we usually go to a classroom for chalk talk or whatever.

So I got to class about 5 minutes late, and as I stood by the door, a coach coming out and told me irritably to get inside. I was rightfully apprehensive as I saw the class was full and nervously looked for a seat. Everyone looked up at me, I was embarrassed. Another coach (who was lecturing) anxiously said to wait outside. And I was like "Yeah, there's no empty seats". And he was like yeah.

I started panicking, being embarrassed as soon as I was in the hall trying to get to the locker room the opposite way, and it escalated.

What ended up happening afterwards? Something like that is definitly natural to be embarrased about, but it will probably end up getting blown over and forgotten about in the long run.

Just because society/the media views it that way doesn't mean it is true... I try to not live my life by sitcom or reality tv show stereotypes.

Everyone is a little nervous first day of practice.

Just use it as a reminder to always be on time. :)

Not a stereotype. Just biologically healthier due to our natural tendencies.
