Is it right?

Is it right to believe that crying shows weakness? Im constantly trying not to cry about things as I believa it shows weakness and I feel ashamed and pathetic. I was wondering if it was ok or not.

Yes its ok to cry you have to let your emotions out somehow, if you don't want to cry in front others then go to your room.I hate crying in front of others myself, it embarsses me.But yea its ok to cry.

But I don't even want people to know im upset. I believe again that it shows weakness.

Yeah, there's only one of my friends that has ever seen me cry, and that was only because she told me to, she knew it would make me stop hurting just for that short time. It's then that people know how much I am hurting, just because its such a rare site.

Well then if you think it shows weakness then don't cry.But I will say it helps getting your emotions out. But its all up to you.

thats a valid point bob and has made me think....

ok i would probably cry if i got bashed! coz it would fucking hurt!!!!

in my opinion, crying is another form of expression and stress relief. i tried so long not to cry and just kept it in, that now when i really need it, i usually cant. ive wanted so much to cry rather than cut or si or any other thing like that, but often times i just cant. so now whenever i cry, i savor it because i know it is one of the only ways for me to break away from all the stress.

crying in my opinion is not a form of defeat, or weakness, but instead a way of expressing real true feelings from the heart and soul that is my opinion, i know it isn't that great, but it's something.
