Search Results: tell him i have feelings for him

So I love horses and I did a horse riding lesson once. However, I’m so scared of heights that I needed assistance with getting on the horse & they just had the guy pull on the rope tied to the horse to lead us around the corral.

So technically I wasn’t doing the actual horse riding lesson. I’ve always had someone pull on the rope tied to the horse whenever supposedly there’s horse back riding at tourist attractions. But this horse riding lesson was supposed to be English horse riding lessons. The instructor told me if I was still feeling scared or uncomfortable she wouldn’t force the actual horse riding lesson. I think I’m just scared of falling from a horse especially when it’s so tall & I’m high up.

I want to ride horses but this fear of heights or the fear of falling down from a horse is stopping me. I want a bond with a horse someday.

To add more detail to this, women are taught that they’re “emotional” and that their emotions are inherently a problem so they’re taught to internalize them, not in a “keep it to yourself” way but in a “You need to figure this out and stop making people feel bad” kind of way. Meanwhile men are taught that their emotions that are sometimes mocked are often best expressed through means of external factors such as a kind of grandiosity or addiction (ie becoming horrendously drunk when depressed or angry) and in response are told that their feelings matter.
