IS CRYING A SIGN OF WEAKNESS?

SHE WRITES:

I don’t know if you’re familiar with the song Boys Don’t Cry, but I am. Growing up I always wondered why it’s such a big deal for boys (big ones because little boys DO cry if they need to) admitting that they cried over something or someone. What’s more surprising though is that some people (including women) find it a sign of weakness when they cry.  But not for me… Personally, I think crying is my way of unloading my burdens and after that, there’s a certain relief and I DO feel better. I can say I’m stronger after hundreds or thousands of tears had been released. Well, aside from the fact that I consider myself a cry baby, crying is really an outlet for me when I’m hurt or when I’m down. I cry if I need to or if I want to. However, I always choose to dry my tears, get on with life and put that smile back on my face. After all, I look prettier when I’m smiling :)   

How about you? Do you consider crying a sign of weakness?

A. Yes I think crying is a sign of weakness…

B. No, I don’t think crying is a sign of weakness…

    No, I don’t think crying is a sign of weakness…because crying cleanses your eyeballs from dirt! LMAO!!

    Kidding aside, I guess crying is just a way for someone to get the heavy burden from their hearts. After that, they will feel stronger and bolder!

    ay abaw! si meimei…hihi

    nope i don’t think crying is a sign of weakness. i think it is being able to express yourself. i cry when i am sad, angry, or hurt. i cry when loved ones are hurt. i cry when i am begging or pleading before God.

    crying before God is an acknowledgment that He alone can dry my tears. :D

    Nope? I don’t think crying is a sign of weakness also.

    The first crying on which is you gain a new life.
    the other crying on which is we release the bad mood.

    I don’t think crying is a sign of weakness, sometimes. I cry when I am cheated or hurt by my friends or my husband… While after crying, it will be some time for me to get recovered. Just can’t accept how can be a friend, especially my husband, hurt me!

    I cry when my baby hurts… When he was in hospital, having injection. At that moment, I think I was weak… I am also growing up together with my baby.. I am still learning to be a good mum…

    Absolutely not.

    If you go to the movies and the director has made a particular scene funny, are you weak if you laugh? If he makes a particular scene sexy, are you weak if you get aroused? If he makes a particular scene sad, are you weak if you cry?

    Crying is a sign of inclusion, of associating with the emotions of the moment. I am more concerned about people who don’t cry than about those who do.

    Well hello! Long time no see! Congrats on the baby. I hope she gets through some of these medical issues OK. I’m sure that is pretty stressful. And NO — I don’t consider crying a sign of weakness. It is a form of release!

    B. No, don’t think crying is a sign of weakness. Crying is a sign of self-expression of what he/she wanted.
