I have never shed tears inpublic. i have shed tears inth privacy of my room sometimes but never in public. The only person who had ever seen me shed tears was my wife tillmy daughter got married and that day when i was seeing her off i cried for the first time in public. I became very emotional and coudlnto control my tears. That was a moment of weakness. My mother too ws quite surprised as i have always been seen as a firm and stable person in the family. What about you. Have you ever cried openly?

Yes thrice First time when I watched an emotional movie in theatre I came out crying,all of them noticed,second time was when I missed to make it in an interview and the third was when my sister gave birth to her twin babies,she was semi conscious and about 20 of us were standing beside her,she called out my name and searched for me,not her husband or her mother,she was searching for her sister,when she spotted me,she smiled.. My goddddd.. Was so moved then.. Gotto know how much she valued me. I was unable to control,started crying in front of everyone. Can never forget that day!! Cheers

Hi friend,I never shed tears in public.Both my father and my husband hate shedding tears.Whenever I shed tears they get irritated and shout ,so it became a habit and slowly I stopped shedding tears nowadays.I think it indicates weakness in mind for them and they like to be strong always.That feeling not to shed tears went deep inside me .But even then I am a female and sometimes when I am not able to control I dont cryeven in front of my hub ,I cry only in the toilet.thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

If you consider hospital as public place, yes I have shed some tears when my father passed away two years ago. I also cried during my wedding.

There are a few times that I have cried almost in the open public but that is when I really cannot control it at all. Like you I try my best to cry when I'm in my room but if I don't want anybody else in my family to see me crying, I'd rather cry while I'm inside a bus but of course I try my best to cover my face so that nobody would notice it.

Then going to cry in the private,but there's one time, i cried once in front of my friends because of my teacher who really made me feel upset, but after that i try not to very emotional coz i feel embarrassed. Keep posting.

I have. But, I am a very emotional person anyway. I try to contain it of course seeing as to how I am in public, but sometimes I just cannot help it.
