am i the only one who has a problem with crying?? since puberty i have only cried in front of other people like 2-3 times.... twice for football and graduation a little bit... I would not even allow myself to cry at my grandfather's funeral... i think it comes from the way i was raised.... my dad always raised me to be tough and crying was considered a sign of weakness... I have only seen my dad cry once and i never saw my grandad cry.. not even on his deathbed.... I guess the way i was raised..there were just certain things that a real man was not supposed to do and crying was one of them...I don't cry and i don't like to be around people when they crying...I have never cried at a funeral...so how do u feel about crying
when i saw old yeller second grade...and they shot that damn dog....i got soooo emotional :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
old yeller he was just a bit crazy he didnt do anything to anyone...
WHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
*putting up black power fist* :cry:
nah I dont cry..it shows your weakness...and if I do cry its not in front of people, its in private..but I dont mind bein around folks while they crying, I 'll console them or whatever...
I don't cry in public. I usually go somewhere private like the bathroom or my room. Then I get cleaned up and go about my business. I don't like people to see me cry.
Okay as a male we shouldn't cry because it is a sign of weakness but If you must cry than u gotta do wat u gotta do... The last time I cried was at my grandma's funeral... She was like my mother so she deserved a couple of tears... Now if a **** cry ova sumptin dat dumb den he a hoe cake..

I actually think the fact that u wont cry makes u weak :?
U know i gotta cosign with what choklat said. If u cant even open up and show ur emotions, then how are you gonna expect someone to show theirs to you? My bf said he wasnt gonna cry and if he did it wouldnt be in front of me....cuz he is a "man"....needless to say-i have seen him cry and heard him cry while we were on the phone.There is nothing wrong with showing emotion-me, i am a very emotional person....even though i do not like to cry to a lot of people because i dont like people to see me like that-but if i gotta cry, then imma cry-plain and simple. :cry:
I have this complex where I beat myself up if people see me cry. I hate it with a passion. I think only 7 other people besides my family have seen me cry. I wait until I'm by myself to cry becasue I put up this strong front for everybody around me. My freinds usually depend on me to cheer them up because I am a naturally cheerful person. If they see me cry the automatically think something terrible has happen and they start to freak out. My boyfreind has seen me cry once, when we broke up, but other than that...people don't see me cry. Nothing wrong with crying, I just have a problem with crying in front of people.

On the flipside, if all of the non-criers started crying and expressing themselves all the time, then who is going to hold up the rest of you all? It's an unfair burden, but someone has to do it. There is nothing wrong with stoicism and quiet resolve.
It would have been devastating to me if I had ever seen my father cry. I respect him for not allowing the deaths around him (from combat duty), the deaths of two brothers, three nephews, both his parents, and a mother-in-law, to lose his focus. I will continue the same with my family.
Crying does not equate being weak....At some point and time we will all go down that road.Why do we have tear ducks if we have to show how strong we are all the time.And most people cry in the dark....Remember that.
