    I am part of a non western immigrant family. So maybe I just didn’t get a lot of baggage that is innate to American/western culture.

    Me too, but on my family, the baggage of civil war and early loss left some marks.

      I feel ya there, we definitely have some issues for similar reasons but male bonding and not expressing your feelings didn’t seem to be one of them.
