A short YouTube monologue by James Laughlin urging people—particularly men—to express their feelings and embrace vulnerability. Laughlin argues feelings are personal and cannot be invalidated by others; he encourages listening to one’s gut and accepting that expressing emotions may upset others but is still important.
I know a lot of men struggle to express their feelings, and that's been an age old thing, but it's starting to change. Vulnerability is starting to become more commonly talked about, more commonly embraced. But expressing your feelings is a part of being human. Don't hold your feelings back. And at the end of the day, if you upset someone because you've expressed how you feel, so be it. And just know this. You can say to someone, I think X about the situation, and they can challenge your thinking. But what nobody can challenge is your feelings. You know what I feel X about the situation. They can't go, well, your feelings are wrong. Nobody can invalidate your feelings. Feelings. Your feelings are your feelings. Listen to your gut. It's there for a reason.
