Hey
I'm a bit of a conundrum here.
I'm trying to write a young (late teens/early 20's) male protagonist character. I wanted him to be emotionally vulnerable, or basically make him suffer from PTSD, but I'm also worried I might've made him a bitch.

For context: he lived a perfectly nice life but then fuckin died. Then his soul was recycled and mind put into a military robot where he was sent off to right in a war while under mind control. He broke out of it and he and a few others became deserters who came back home to America.
Only to find everyone in America is inside a giant gigastructure and has been put in a magic dream dimension VR world (which is also the afterlife), and after morality corroded away, it basically became hell in that Hieronymus Bosch painting, and anyone outside of it became savage cannibals' because they can't find any other food naturally.
All this is going on while he's also being hunted down by their security drones and a shapeshifting flesh monster android that can contort her body on the fly to be effective in almost anything (like the MK II terminator but with gross fleshy shit and more rapid shapeshifting).
He eventually escapes but not without losing all his friends and he's scarred from everything he saw and even grows paranoid.
I was thinking he would emotionally cry (he can't cry cuz he's dead and a robot) only at the end when he finds a group of smaller robots at the end and is welcomed into their group.
It's a normal reaction for a young male to be traumatized by seeing war, hieronymus bosch's version of hell, and losing any friends he has left, and being chased by a shapeshifting flesh monster woman, right?

tl;dr; how do I properly write a young male character who's traumatized from going through a metaphorical hell without turning him into a little bitch? Cuz I'm worried If I do it'll be like Steven universe where people just cry all the time.
