Most people do not understand why people cry when they are hurt.It is better to let your feelings out by crying or shouting to ease the pain than pretending that you are not hurt. Crying is an emotional release that relieves us from stress and making us feel better. This is not really a bad thing to do, right? I am a sensitive and emotional person and I cry when I get hurt but some people could not understand why I cry when I get hurt.They usually ask me why I am crying but don't they get it that people are not the same and when they are hurt, they cry.

In my take, it’s not bad to cry when you feel a little hurt on something. It’s a normal human reaction most especially that your body is experiencing or feeling pain. It’s an action wherein one is bursting what he/she is feeling about something that has put impact on his body’s pain.

Oh no, it isn't bad to cry when you are hurt. It could be good for you to cry to express and release those things that hurt you and eventually be out to your system so that you won't be hurt anymore. But, too much crying is bad, you must cry in an appropriate time and appropriate situation.

This is not bad because tears are flowing automatically when we are feeling hurt or upset. When we are in pain or stress feel stay alone and cry continuously.

is it bad to cry when you are hurt? for me is not, bec. it a way to release your pain, inside of your heart, and i will also a way to give you time to think what happen to your life.and its not bad when you cry. even man can cry. bec. if you can release it it will give your heart a hard time in pump your anger. if you need to cry just cry when ever you are. i even crying inside of the jeep. bec. i remember some thing about my baby, my mother. i just cry it out. thank you

It's not a bad thing to cry. One of my daughters is very sensitive and very emotional ... she cries VERY easily. She has been that way since she was young. I remember, when she was probably 4 or 5, she asked me why she cried so easily when her friends weren't like that. In fact, back then, if one of her friends got hurt, SHE would cry! She was embarrassed, I think. I told her that when she was upset, it was like having a spiky little ball inside her chest... a ball that just kept spinning and hurting her, as long as it stayed inside. I said when she cried, it released the ball so it could go away and stop hurting. She told me recently that she's never forgotten that explanation. She is in her late teens now and she still cries a lot. She has accepted that it is simply her way of dealing with her emotions :)
