Why he doesn’t want to show emotions?

[Anonymous]

My older brother really liked one girl. She liked him too. They kissed few times and went out. I thought they are already together. But she turned him down. It really hurt him. I always tell him that he can talk to me if he needs to. But he always says it is fine. But i can see it is not. Obviously. On weekends he only drinks with friends. He is lot meaner and his smile is different. I think he is handsome and i know girls that would like to get to know him. But he just doesn't care anymore. He says he is done. I also think he is too hard on himself, he blames himself for that and that he screwed up.

There could be many reasons why someone may not want to show their emotions, but it's important to remember that everyone is different and deals with emotions in their own way. It's possible that your brother may feel vulnerable or uncomfortable sharing his feelings with others, or he may feel like he needs to be strong and keep his emotions hidden.

In this case, it sounds like your brother is going through a tough time after being turned down by someone he really liked. It's important to continue to be there for him and offer support, but also respect his boundaries if he doesn't want to talk about it. Encourage him to take care of himself and find healthy ways to cope with his emotions, such as exercising or finding a new hobby. Remind him that it's not his fault and that sometimes things just don't work out, but that doesn't mean he should give up on finding happiness.
