No, for me it is NOT ok to cry. i don't allow myself to cry. i have to pretned i don't feel things as much as i do. i especially do not cry in front of anyone. my VERY best friend, Jason (fromthemirror) and my best friend, Justin are the only 2 people i now have contact with (other than my mom) that have seen me cry. However, i think it is perfectly fine for other people to cry. i encourage it because it is a good release. i don't follow my own advice.

i cried last sunday in the car while on the way home. i was in a bad mood and couldn't control my feelings. it was only for a minute but it felt good because it was my release. there was just too much emotion inside of me.

As you said, kyutstudph, crying is a way to express our emotions, and I used to be the greatest in the world at it. For some reason though, I seem to have mellowed out more as I've aged, and I find that I don't cry nearly as much as I once did. Maybe I cried myself out when I was younger, or maybe there just isn't enough going on in my life any more to give me reasons to cry. It is always ok to cry if you feel like it.

I wept just this afternoon while reading a very moving story about how a businessman started his own business, especially before he started and those hard days he had had in his childhood. I just couldn't stop my tears. But I feel shy to be seen. lol

I just read a saying from my friend that it is better to cry than to be angry. Because if you're angry you can hurt someone. But in crying it cleanses our heart and soul. Crying is one of the outlet of our emotion. It helps to lessen the burden or pains that we have. I remember I just shed tears a month ago. That is when I missed my family back home. Crying help me to supress the longing to go back home. Because after which I feel that my longing is not as intense as when before crying.

Its really okay to cry. Do so. Tears are very cleansing ... the last time i cried was sometime last wk, at the burial of my close aunt. Too sad that people come and go in this world but got no choice, we have to deal with that. Take care now.

I cry very easily - not just because I am sad or lonely but also I cry with happiness, when I am proud of my kids or when someone does something really nice for me! I feel that crying for any reason is fine! The last time I cried was yesterday because I was in a lot of pain but my doctor has now given me different medications and the pain is not as consuming now! xxx

I would say it's OK for anyone to cry whether they be man or woman. After all, it is only natural way of releasing emotions.. Who on earth made it wrong?

the last time i cried was this sunday while watching criminal minds, LOL! the episode was about the mom's sacrificing her life so that she could protect her son and i find it so touching. i think it's ok to have a good cry once in a while, it'll make you feel better after, except for puffy eyes :D

It is always okay to cry. For me,what's the sense of your tears if you don't cry. We sometimes cry when we are happy or even yawning, i guess. The last time i cried was last week when my boss gave me a lot of works to do and can't hardly finish it coz he only gave me a very limited to time just to finish all in 2 hours. I really can't help but to cry because of that.

yes it's ok to cry. it's one of the outlet of our feelings or emotions. to release what we feel inside and it will help us lessen the weight that we carry in our hearts.

there is nothing wrong in crying... people are really bias about this if you cry they would say you are weak. but for me crying, is a sign that you are strong because you want to tell everybody that you need help.

Crying is not a bad thing to me. I would cry if the occasion calls for it. The last time I have cried I think was last week.

Yes friend, but it depends. We cry when we are emotionally down, when we loose our loved onesjl or othe reasons. Thanks

I also think the same way.It is just an expression of the emotions.It is a feeling & one should always express them.
