All right, so here's some info about me. I'm 20, and I have ASD, ADHD, and depression. Throughout all of my life, every time I get extremely sad over someone yelling at me incessantly, calling me names, getting hit by people (like what my stepmom did last year over missing one spot after sweeping the floor), I often tear up. And sadly, I still do it today. I realize that, as a man, we're supposed to (usually) be the care-takers and protectors of society. We're supposed to be strong, steadfast, and muscular in order to protect other people (such as their wives, significant others, and/or loved ones), and here I am, an emotionally weak guy with a huge speech impediment and lack of conversation/social skills.
I also lost my mom back in 2014 and had to deal with an abusive stepmom, so that didn't help my depression.
How do I become more emotionally strong to people (and hopefully my future love interest)?
