My grandpa doesn’t understand how hard it is for me to get up in the morning, to not hyperfixate, to not be emotionally unstable.
My friend says it’s normal for him to be like that and makes excuses and defenses for him.

Honestly, that attitude of his is holding down who knows how much trauma. If he let’s down his walls and starts feeling things now, who knows how much is going to flood out. Guarantee it’s way more than you expect
Luckily we’ve been raised in a time where we could express our emotions, at least to some extent. He never could. Men had a standard to live up to. Crying wasn’t something allowed.
Not saying it’s right. Not saying it should be tolerated. But I’ve come to accept it’s just a product of the times and work my way around that.
Wish I had better advice on how to overcome that.
