How do you feel about people seeing you cry?

I hate it when people see me cry,I think that in most cases crying is a sign of weakness and one should it by himself/herself if possible. If anyone sees me cry,it means that I'm having a nervous breakdown and can't hold it any longer. Thank God,that doesn't happen too often. What about you? Do you cry often? Do you have a shoulder to cry on?

im agree with you. Well.. Cry is something to let ur anger or emotion out so that you can feel better.And the last time i crying was yesterday.. i quarrel with my mom..and i cried. But.. i did apologize.Its my fault. always tend to increase my voice when i talked to her..

When people see me cry, I get really shy and my face really turns into red more and more... I just don't want other people see my cry unless it is my friend whom I trust and confident with

I got the same problem but that's not the point.. I wouldn't want people to see me cry even if I looked like Madonna and that was my best face lol

Not really, when you cry you have to let out things that you have been holding on too for so long that they burst out and won't stop. I could care less about other people seeing me cry. There is no shame in letting it all out.

Well crying is a part of life, we were all born crying. But i still do hate to cry. Especially in public. i don't cry often, but Monday the strangest thing happened to me. Current went by use a night an when my bf step out to go find candles, I just sat down on the bed and started to cry. Why is it strange? Because I'm not afraid of the dark why the hell was i crying? i think it probably had something to do with my period.

I too hate for people to see my cry, especially my children. I tend to go out of the way if I am upset. I am usually very good at holding it all in and not crying in front of anyone.

Yeah,children should not see you upset. I don't have any kid yet but I have 2 dogs who get all worried if they see me sob

I'm the same way you are. I try never to let people see me cry. I don't want sympathy, I want to work my problems out alone. I don't have a shoulder to cry on and I don't want one. Good question. It helps people discover who they are.

I don't like people seeing me cry. Usually it's out of frustration...so much desire and ability built up...and yet for some reason I am disappointed in myself, I think it has to do with how hard I am on myself.... I have a shoulder to cry on, but I don't like using it..

Crying does help relieve stress,I guess what I meant is crying makes you seem weak in front of other people. I'm not talking about your close friends and relatives,I mean people who initially upset you. Don't show that to them lol

well i don't really cry in public places, as much as possible i'll control myself and hide my feelings after that when i'm already alone that's the time that i'll burst into tears.

yes I tend to hide away when I can't control my crying, I am a very private person when it comes to being depressed, angry or any negative emotion so crying is just one of them...

Same with me... I don't like it when people try to use their tears to get something out of you.

I tend to cry when I get mad. Last time I cried, I got REALLY mad at my teacher and got taken out of his class. I really don't cry that often though. My friend Megan is always there for me when I cry, if she's not...there's the handy dandy...pillow!! Yay for pillows!
