Why did Tahjicc Smith break down into tears? 'Temptation Island' star opens up about his childhood trauma in unseen bits
MAUI, HAWAII: 'Temptation Island' Season 5 single Tahjicc Smith might seem too cool from the outside. But is he really that cool? Tahjicc seems to be a softie from the inside.
The one reason that he is not able to pen up easily to people in the house is because of his childhood. On Wednesday's episode, Tahjicc breaks down into tears as he opened up about his past.
Tahjicc has been seen bonding the most with Christian Tesoriero in the villa. And, recently as Christian opened up about his feelings, it came easy for Tahjicc to talk about it.
Tahjicc revealed that he has not been "vulnerable" in the villa. And, the reason behind it seems to be as emotional as Tahjicc broke down after telling the story.

Why is Tahjicc Smith crying?
When he was asked why Tahjicc and his friend Christian have not been vulnerable, Tahjicc replied emotionally, "Never having the answer or never getting the conversation..." He then tried hard to control his tears.
Tahjicc wiped his tears while Mark L Walberg said, "It'll be impossible for you as a child to think if your father was not around it wasn't your fault." Mark tried consoling Tahjicc by saying, "It's not your fault."
Mark then explained to Tahjicc, asking, "You know how much I admire men like you?" Tahjicc nodded as Mark continued, "Because when you're a child, you are trying to learn everything."
Mark then explained that a child's brain makes illogical choices when he can not understand what's going on. Indeed, Tahjicc either hides his feelings or pushes them away other than showing them to the one he loves.
