Been discussing this with a few ppl and it seems like it's still taboo for most. What do you guys think?
Are you comfortable crying? Does it makes you feel weak/ashamed?
Could you do it around other ppl? When's the last time you did it?
I'll cry if I have to
But I don't cry. I'm built Ford tough.
:hmph:
I think it's a great thing though. It can relieve pressure and emotions, physically.
I most def feel weak if I cry for real. I hate crying. I just lost my mentor about 3 weeks ago to cancer, and I didn't cry at all until I was alone.
I don't think it makes you weak tbh
I cried earlier this year, talking about certain things make me teary eyed though
And most times, I don't cry unless i'm extremely angry.
and yes I've cried around other people

Sometimes I purposely be alone in the crib and cry, it is therapeutic.

Were u close with them or nah?
yes, family members
I don't cry :bvy:
I'm a crier and I'm not ashamed.
sad tears, happy tears....whatever
it's a human emotion...nothing to be ashamed about.
I'd moreso side-eye the person who thinks its something bad than the person who cries.
I just cried on Sunday tbh. :dead: I rarely cry, but when I do its so refreshing and relieving. Once I cry about something, I kinda let it go and move forward. I tend to be the "go to" emotional rock for a lot of people. I guess I'm just a good listener, but its hard for me to do the same back. I dont feel ashamed or weak to do it... I'm just a very private person.
I never cry. The tears can never seem to fall. I don't cry not because of feeling weak but I don't allow myself to feel anything.
unless a loved one is dead....
crying is for when you're in your room....alone (https://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mebn0ond7x1rlgb07o1_400.gif)
its really therapeutic. I usually get it all out when im watching something sad.

Cause when I was young I cried a lot and those tears and vulnerability were taken as weakness. This ball of anger y'all see is really a defense mechanism
Don't see the problem with it but I rarely cry.
I'm the type to suppress and hold things in for a long time until it explodes. I might cry then.
i cry all tha time
evn if its for no reason
its beaut'ful to me
especially wen my nose gets red & my eyes swell
i look rlly cute wen i do it
plus theres sumthin 'bout crying tht gives me strength
sadness n anger r def' things tht boost n drive my sharp mind & tongue
I wish you would shut up
faggot fck u
It's weird because things in my everyday life rarely make me cry or emotional. But a movie can get me in a second. I can't remember it ever happening, but I would be embarrassed if I cried in front of anyone.

Bitttt I cried for like 3hrs the night after I graduated and all my friends and fam left. I felt so much better the following week. Being there for everyone else takes its toll here and there.

My friends used to make fun of me because I can be listening to some weird ass song or watching a movie and start crying. I used to be the same way tbh.
ugh I can never share my deep vulnerable emotions with anyone or vent to people, I am usually the one giving advise or have other niggers lean on me. When I need to let out steam i pop in some dramatic Gospel CD's and cry for a few minutes. Ugh Kim Burrell's CD's always get me right the fuck together....
Lord open up the door, to my heart, so I can recieve...

I used to never understand people crying over some TV/film mess. But sometimes I do be getting all up IN my feelings when my fave characters go through it on TV.
My sis Zoila went through so much for example.

It's unhealthy NOT to cry
Just like it's unhealthy not to laugh
If that's happening some of you have to get checked. There may be some type of imbalance in your life preventing you from experiencing or exhibiting emotion.

You need to cry gorl
Go in your room, turn on a good song and just meditate til the tears flow.
Oh and PM after, you'll feel so much better. Trust me.
I cry easily over the smallest things like watching a show, movie, hearing/reading a story, cute babies, etc. :plzstop:

Right that's what I'm saying tho I may not cry but I do feel sad. It just doesn't show
I feel that it starts some kind of healing process. I definitely believe in letting it out to confront whatever it is I'm crying about. Don't like doing it in front of other ppl tho. The last time I cried was probably last week.

I was just tearing up last night when I saw the house my relatives were enslaved at.
Doesn't take much to get my emotions running. But I am thankful for that quality (yes I consider it a quality) because it easily allows me to empathize and relate to others. We are all from different walks of life; we have different backgrounds and colors. But we all have emotions.

I do. It's not fun to be looked at as "the angry one" when I'm far from it but it's like I have to have my guard up and not show emotion cause I will end up hurt otherwise
Crying feels good. It's something I do behind closed doors though.
Ain't nothing wrong with crying honestly. I've had moments where certain videos of touching moments made me tear up. Especially when it's sincere. i.e.: those videos where someone does something nice for someone and they just break down. My boyfriend made me cry once by just texting me a few words that were heartfelt.
