Under Emotional Stress (someone hand me a tissue)

Sometimes I don't know either... But it's completely normal and to a degree healthy. Some days I just put on a sad movie or songs that make me cry and just embrace it. If you constantly try to fight it it will never be gone and it'll come back again and again. Every once in a while you just have to get it out of your system. You'll feel better afterwards, I promise.

:')

Now that kid with that tissue melts my heart..... She's cute ;)

That was the reaction I was going for. I was looking for a puppy with tissues originally, but little kid works just as well, I think.

Definitely ;)

Crying is very normal, I don’t know one person that doesn’t cry. It doesn’t matter what you’re crying about, it’s therapeutic and good for your mental health.

Really? I didn't know that.

Yes, expression of whatever you’re feeling helps you

Makes perfect sense.

Crying is always seen as a sign of weakness, and personally I think that's ridiculous.

And I think the entire idea that crying is only for women and that a man shouldn't cry is even absurd.

We all have the moments that life can be extremely cruel on us, even to a level that we simply cannot take it anymore. Crying somehow let us blow off the steam that came to a too high level of pressure. And you know what happens to a steam engine when the kettle is under too high pressure... Yup, it'll eventually blow off, hence the driver being required to vent the steam to lower the pressure. If you take your mind as the kettle and your emotions as the pressure, and crying as the vent... well, there you go.

And I've never been ashamed to admit that whenever the going gets too tough on me, I'll allow my tears to come. However as I have been raised under the old-fashioned idea that a man shouldn't cry I am sometimes unable to let my tears flow, and really I always hate it when that happens.

Not understanding the reasons why you cry can only mean that there are some bad things in your mind that you are not fully aware of. Maybe you pushed them away somehow (as society wants us to do that). They key often lies in the past. Sometimes some memories of decades ago can make you cry now while you couldn't do so back then. It's quite strange.

If it really goes on an on and on, and you keep failing to find out why, you may need to talk to a psychologist.

Btw, don't make fun of me but I'm a woman and I cry (so yeah I revealed my gender to you)

I wasn't making fun of you.

Ok, just making sure just in case (I know you won't though)

Aww, thanks for everyone being here, including you.

It's no joke, really.

I know, but that's just the reality we sadly have to live in unless we do something about it.

Then what?

*screams in Lacey*

I beg your pardon? I don't understand.

The guy standing up posted a mean troll comment. The recipient was an 8 yr old girl, who took it for what it was worth, and ignored it, rather than run to her safe space and cry. The troll’s friend calls the bullied girl tough.

Sometimes I think I need a hug, though.

Yeah, I'd like to give you one, but I'm afraid that's a bit hard over the internet.... :(

Will this do?

Can't compare to the real thing, but I guess it has to do, eh? 😉

*hugs*

*joins for a hug*

Crying's totally normal. It helps heal the heart.

Look it up. Crying is great for you!

I just did, it relieves stress.

Yup. In fourth grade I did I crappy project on it

The important is, you tried your best :)

Sure...

You ok?

Yeah just all I can think about lately is the embarrassing stuff I've done in my life

Thanks 😌

You're welcome.

I can't tell if it's normal or not...
