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
Yeh I do..Im real sensitive like that...
I've never cried over no boy..nor has 1 made me cry...
I've never cried in front of my friends..wait it was this one time..but she's my best friend so it dont matter...
I've cried because of basketball games we've lost...
I've cried out of pain of running in the snow for 6 blocks; we were being punished for about to fight these cheerleaders the day before a big game...
Uhh I cried when they tried to kick me outta school lol...
And I usually cry because my mom will do sumthing stupid/say somthing stupid to me once n er'blue moon..I cry any time she yells at me :cry:
Im jus a big wuss.. :roll:
Oohhh and i cried when i was about to fight this gurl at my school for calling me a bytch..those were tears of RAGE tho..it took 5 ppl to hold me back :evil:
The only time I cried in public was at my grandmother's funeral awhile back and that's the last time i remember crying period. I don't look at crying as a sign of weakness but nothing that's happened since then as touched me deep enough for me to start tearing up.
no I dont my dad had an affect on me growing up he only cried when my grandmother died and when he was injured at home in serious pain. He taught me when i was younger real men dont cry, my mom kinda backed that up, it may sound macho but i dont cry unless its a serious thing last time i cried was when my uncle and grandma died last yr and that was in private altho i do choke up when i see a family seen of a child with his/her father or grandma or uncle but I dont cry other than that. I'm somewhat cold-hearted most times i dont allow myself to feel.Not trying to sound macho its just how i was raised.
i cry a lot over really dumb things...but i dont like people seeing me cry i find it to be embarrsing...im somewhat weird in that its hard for me to show those type of emotions. im not very good at consoling people its awkward to me
nah i don't cry in front of people either i stopped when i was young. i guess cause it gave me a headache and my mom would get me cause it embarassed her. the only time i ever do is when i'm hurt or at my grandpa's funeral. i think also cause i think i make the ugliest faces and it's just something i've gotten used to not doing. i just thought about at a track meet when i did horrible and i started crying that and a time at work i hate those times. i cringe when i think about it makes people feel sorry for you and you feel embarassed later on.
ok i'm done
Well, from the looks of things...it's clear that the majority have a complex of crying in front of people, or just crying in general. That ain't healthy yall. Let's see if i can put a lil of this edumacation to use :wink: ...social research shows that men's lifespan (especially black males) are much shorter than that of women, due to high blood pressure and other heart failures, which can be linked to stress. Stress that can be released with something as simple as tears. Bottling up all of those emotions causes a hormonal imbalance. Contrary to what society teaches you, you are not WEAK for crying, you are HUMAN.
As for me, i wouldn't say that i'm a super emotional person, but i know when it's needed. If i'm just feeling highly stressed or just like the weight of the world is on my shoulders (which is not very often) i release & let it out. Crying is healthy people. Oh, and i won't lie, i will shed a tear at church with NO shame. No need of trying to be hard in front of Jesus. He's worthy of my tears and much more than that.
I actually think the fact that u wont cry makes u weak
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.
I don't think crying is some kind of plea for help. Most of the time when i'm crying, i just want to be left alone. To say that because i'm crying, i need "someone to hold me up" is an assumption that i am some how weaker because of my tears. You can cry, and still be strong for those around you. I have seen my mother cry on more than a few occassions, and as a single mother, sibling of 8, and hard worker, she is one of the most resilient human beings that i know. The ability to be able to encourage and uplift others, even in the midst of your own pain & tears...in my eyes, that is a true sign of strength.
