Really the only person I cry in front of is my "boyfriend" who is usally the reason I'm crying in the first place.

I don't like to cry around other people, if it's at home I just sniffle and pretend nothing had happened. :3
I think it's embarassing to cry infront of others ;-;

I never cry in public unless it is something REALLY depressing or sad like the time My grandmother died, when she did EVERYONE saw how I felt. Then I cried more from knowing everyone was watching and was so embarrassed. D:

Of course most don't want to be seen crying in public (as a lot of us attest to) but some end up doing it anyway (lol). It's a vulnerability and hence is seen as a form of weakness by some - which is a rather medieval notion. That way of thinking probably stems from family tradition and that "boys don't cry" thing.

I think it's a healthy thing to do at times though I've never done it in public as an adult. Last time I did, I was maybe just 7 years old (chuckle). It probably just gets annoying when some people use it as a tool of sorts to get what they want.

I try my hardest not to cry in public and the only times I do is during an anxiety or depression attack and it's very embarrassing and I always find somewhere to hide myself under the attack is gone.

I never cry in public.. I don't even really like crying anyways.

Sforzando 08-11-2008 09:15 PM

I try not to cry in front of people, because it is embarrassing, but I absolutely can't cry in front of guys, cuz I dont want them to think Im a cry baby.

I was at girls camp and one night I made this big speech about how I dont cry in public, and then the next day I found out that one of my friends wasnt really my friend and then I cried. Luckily I had a beanie that I pulled down over my eyes. I forgot to bring sunglasses.

Last night I used sunglasses when I was crying in front of some guys.

I don't usually cry, unless I'm exremely fustrated.. though i have cried twice in public, and it was in front of the same group of people.. O_O;; pretty embarresing.. i just hate that you can't really control it, once you start getting that tingly feeling in your eyes..

Necro Manic 08-11-2008 10:34 PM

I hate crying in front of people and avoid it completly when I can.
But... there's this one person that for some reason is always around when I cry and she's the one I hate seeing me cry the most... yet the only person I wouldn't feel ashamed if I did.
Sometimes when something really bad happens you can't help it when you start crying all of a sudden and that's what happened with her >.>

Cardania 08-11-2008 10:57 PM

I can't remember the last time I cried in public. I hate even crying in front of my husband or family. But if I'm by myself at home, I'll let myself bawl if I'm upset about something.

mystic kiwi 08-11-2008 11:04 PM

I only cry when I'm stressed out. I don't cry in front of people though since I don't see the point in it. Most the time it's at night, when I'm alone. I do cry in front of my husband, if I feel the need to though.

Madoka 08-11-2008 11:56 PM

I've always had some troubles with social anxiety, so I've been know to cry in public and in front of people when things get extra stressful for me. I've come to not really care if people see me or not. It's not something to be ashamed of because I think if it makes you cry, it must have been something that really bothered you...and it happens to everyone, so why feel ashamed of it. Anyone who would judge you for that isn't really being realistic I don't think.
I, of course, would always prefer not to cry in front of anyone, but sometimes it can be comforting to have people around who will sort of pat you on the back and tell you it's okay.
I think I'm just used to it since I have some emotional issues. -__-;;
It's just not embarrassing anymore, if anything doing it in public makes me feel stronger and I can get over it faster and feel more at ease with the crowd.

Never. >D

It's a sure way to weaken yourself.. >_>;

I rarely ever cry, anyways. ;D

ReinedeLutin 08-12-2008 12:33 AM

Cryin'
 
Crying is healthy for sure.
I cry all the time, for both good and bad reasons, but I have never felt it weakened me, it merely empowered me with the strength with what I needed to do to feel better.
I cry in front of people unless I remember at the last second it would be worst for them. I cry when I'm stressed past my point. I cried in an AP class when I thought I had to do an impossible task and everyone assured me I didn't have to. It helps for friends to be near.;)

Cherry Who? 08-12-2008 12:40 AM

Never. I can't cry in front of someone. If I'm about to cry, I stop talking (so my voice can't crack or waver), don't look at them, and try to calm down.
Hell, sometimes I won't even cry in the privacy of my own room because I'm afraid that mom might come in to ask or tell me something and then she'd see.

The only time I could ever really cry in front of someone is if it was crucial to my point. Like if someone didn't realize how much something was bothering me, then if I cried, then they'd get it.

I really have no problem with telling someone that I cried, though. Like "We had a big fight, and I was crying hardcore afterwards" or something. I just can't let someone SEE me do it.

On a similar note, I hate the "boys don't cry" thing. I hate the image that men are without feelings and can only be happy or mad.
However, it makes me really uncomfortable when guys cry. XD So hypocritical, I know.
It's just because it's not something you're used to, you know? You're brought up with images of women crying. So when a girl cries, it's nothing new. The only images of men crying that are generally out there is that one tear. Just one. And only during really serious stuff, or when they're really really happy. You're not brought up with images of men just bawling their eyes out. So when you do see it, it's sort of weird.
Just because you're not used to it.

Dannigirl 08-12-2008 12:47 AM

I've cried in public a few times.Once I feel like crying, it seems nearly impossible for me to stop no matter where I am.xD; I once cried in school, because my teacher was being kinda "racists" towards my history project.Which there wasn't anything wrong with it. >_>; It was a correct photo and it was in black in white. :sarcasm: And I had to redo da project.

Strands 08-12-2008 04:03 PM

I almost never cry, and when I do it's never in front of any other people.
I feel it shows a lot of weakness.

Heirii 08-12-2008 04:06 PM

i never cry in public its to embarassing :sweat: well i mean i did when i broke my arm but i mean who wouldn't cry when you almost broke your arm in half :o don't ever try it it hurts so much

Milinia 08-12-2008 04:26 PM

if i can't hold it in then yeah i do, but if it's something like our trip to california was cancelled ((just an example)) and we had to my grandparents house instead then i can hold it in
or not.

Rheks 08-12-2008 09:14 PM

I try not to cry in public, when I would. Which I don't really much.
It's kind of embarrassing, I'd usually like to be alone.

jupiter 08-12-2008 09:21 PM

No, not in front of others.
I'm an adamant denier that I cry, even if it's obvious.

Kitten Morris 08-13-2008 05:57 AM

Kitten is a bit emotional... She only cries when she's really upset and her boyfriend is always the one that upsets her. So, Kitten cries in front of her boyfriend and he ends up calling her a baby and saying she's doing it on purpose, so she just ends up getting yelled at because she can't help it so she cries more :(

When Kitten's boyfriend made her cry at school he used to get even angrier because the attention would get directed towards him since all her friends know her boyfriend isn't a nice person. So she just learned if she was going to start crying to burry her face in his shirt so no one else would notice...

serena yuy 08-13-2008 06:26 PM

i used to cry a lot in public. and i mean a lot. when i was younger i would cry a lot in public. now i don't. i try not to once i got older since its not right. and i don't like feeling embarrassed. then you also add in the whole i don't like looking like i'm weak and can't take care of myself. i really don't like crying in front of my boyfriend since i feel the need to appear strong in front of him especially now with him going back to school in a week.

trust me, i am an EXTREMELY emotional person. i cry a lot. but i try REALLY hard not to cry and get emotional all the time in front of others ESPECIALLY in front of my boyfriend. its hard but somehow i try.

Queen Fool 08-13-2008 09:24 PM

I don't really show any kind of weakness, especially in public.

When something makes me angry or upset, I either joke about it, or ignore it. I don't like making others deal with my problems. I have a temper. but I don't like showing it. I mean, people tend to feel bad when you cry or get mad, and I really don't want that.

I was about to cry when I was in class last year, so I asked for a guidance pass and let it out there instead of looking like a fool. That's generally what I do. Leave the room so I can get a drink and take a few deep breaths if I'm really upset. Normally, though, I just bite my lip and I'm good. I'm not too sensitive.

Same goes with me being shy. If I'm afraid to talk to someone or something (I don't like ordering my own food or anything like that), I normally suck it up. Works fine.

Only time I cry is when I'm in trouble, mainly because it works to get me out of it.
