I just got back from my first dose at a clinic, there were lots of people there. I was feeling a little emotional thinking about everything and how crazy it is that they actually made a vaccine, but I was holding it together. I was grateful for my mask since it hid most of my face.

When it was my turn, the RN was very nice and seemed concerned that I was nervous. When I told her I was fine and she asked “are you sure?” I tried to tell her how I was feeling and I just broke down and started crying. I could tell she was professional and prepared for that and she helped me through it, no big deal.

I’m a man in my mid 30s and I’ve only seen another dude crying in public once. Not embarrassed, I’m actually happy that I can feel stuff and appreciate that things seem to be getting better. So many times last year it felt like the literal end of the world.

I just wonder if others had a similar experience? If you got the shot, what kind of thoughts or emotions did you have at the time?

No, the only time you can cry as a man is if someone important to you dies.

Anything else is being a giant fucking pussy.

This might sound like a cliche, but when I smoked DMT I felt the purest love and I broke down crying when I came to my senses.

I covered all the cases.

Such ego to assume you know it all. Good luck on your journey.
