Is crying a sign of weakness?

No i dont think crying is a sign of weakness its good to let it out or could end up with cancer due to bottled up emotions. Yes I cry when I cant figure out problems

Crying is never a sign of weakness. It is an expression of deep emotion that can stem from sadness, frustration, anger or even happiness. I don't always cry, but I do cry and always feel so much better because it is such a great release. I also encouraged my own children to express their emotion and I've seen both my husband and son cry on several occasions. Not releasing that emotion can be very stressful and cause all sorts of physical ailments so go ahead and have a good cry.

I was in counselling once and we were discussing some very painful things and I started to cry. I got so angry at myself and I was really embarrassed and the counsellor asked me why. I said that it was because I saw it as a sign of weakness and I hated to be seen to cry by anyone. When I was a kid I asked my mother why she never cried and she told me that adults didn't cry. Until I was older, I thought adults were incapable of crying. I had obviously internalised this idea, even though it's a load of cr@p. My counsellor asked me that if I saw someone else upset and crying, would I think any less of them. Of course I wouldn't. So why be so hard on myself? It's ok to cry. It's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of emotion and humanity.

Hi there Mylotters. For myself I feel that crying, asking for help and some other things is sometimes a weakness but for everyone their is most definately differences for everyone else. Each person is different to the other. Catch ya later. pretty_babe

I don't believe crying is a sign of weekness. My mother tought use to epress are feelings and that crying is ok. I cry over everything...When I'm happy,sad,angery and so on. When I get really mad I cry I don't know why I just do. Its not a big cry I just have tears. After I cry I feel better like I just opened the door and said hell with it. I would just let it out. You schould start behide closed doors if you feel like its a sign of weekness. Just let it ALL OUT. I mean ALL OF IT. Every litte thing that has bothered you or that is bothering you now. Just cry and scream. Im telling you will feel so much better. I hope this helps. Life is really hard and we all need to find are way to deal with it. Good luck!! T_katt*

Cant say exactly that if we cry its a sign of weakness.Because most people dont cry for a sought of pain or something.But there may be really sorrow for him/her.Not exactly that the person is weak if he cries usually sensitive people cry.

I don't think so. A crying is a release from your emotions. I think people who have never cried must be so cold blooded. It's very normal that you shed tears when you feel sad. It doesn't mean anything. After you dry your tears, you still face and try to solve the problems. That's not weak at all. I love China

I don't think crying a sign of weakness. Crying helps us to reduce our pain from heart. From scientific point of view, crying helps to clean our eyes. It refreshes the veins.

I guess if a person cries at every little thing then maybe there a problem but i don't think it's abnormal but i'm speaking as someone who has done alot of it.Most of the time it's because i can't handle a certain situation or problem.there isn't any right or wrong answer i guess.

Im not really sure of that,but maybe they cry because they want to express the feelings they keep especially If they cant share It to his/her family me also like crying If I feel alone,but thats not mean that is my weakness,we have our own way to solve our problems not just we have to cry,and after that the problem is still there Its not gone.

Crying is not a sign of weakness. Not crying when you know that you have to let go of those tears to make you feel better is a sign of weakness. Everyone cries, if not in front of people, when they are all alone in their room. We all have to let go of pain, bitterness and depression. Crying helps to do so. We cannot let things bottle up inside us, otherwise it will make things worse. To have something so painful inside us bottle up, it might explode and lead to something not so good. We have to be strong and face our problems, but even strong people cry sometimes. If crying was unnecessary then why do tears even exist. We just have to be brave enough to accept the fact that we cry when we need to, away from the old saying that crying makes us weak persons. It also depends upon the situation though, we cry for significant things and not for little things that do not deserve our tears. I hope I made sense. Hehe. God bless!

it's nature for a human being to cry especially if they are hurt. But crying doesn't imply always of being weak. In some cases maybe but for me crying is one way to ease out my problems because crying would me make me feel better afterwards. But I still believe it depends on reasons,but most of the time as a I based it from experience I cried because I want to freed out my emotions and to make things feel better afterward

I do think crying is a sign of weakness but everybody cries at some point in their life does that mean that they are weak? Is weakness the amount of strength that you have in your arms and in your legs? or is weakness actually found emotionally , as in you hurt easily? If a new born baby cries does that mean that they are weal or does it mean that they are in need of something? Or is there a chance that the baby is crying because it feels weak but us adults just assume that we think that they are in need of something. Usually when i cry it is because I feel guilty that I have done something wrong.

i think no crying is definetly not a sing of weakness becaus ei now that i am a very strong person but when im really upset i cry to get all the emotions out.

I don't see crying as a sign of weakness but it's a way of acknowledging your feelings, letting the burden out in your heart.

Crying is an expression of how you feel. It is not a weakness. I do cry when I'm really hurt, when I'm sad. I do cry also when I'm happy but those tears are tears of joy. I don't cry if I can't solve problems. I'll just move on, and think positive that it can be resolved. [/b]HUGZ![b]

Crying is not a sign of weakness. Crying is a result of emotional feelings, whether good or bad. It is not good to hold back your emotions, that can cause ulcers, stress etc. It is okay to cry, how do you suppress your emotions?

Hello lyzabelle, No it is not weakness to cry, you should always let it out whenever you feel like it I cry whenever I watched a sad moive and I also cry when I think about my mum who has pass 6 years ago so it so not wrong or weakness it is good for you to let it all out of your systems then you will better, don't let it fester it is not good so have a good cry you are not weak. Tamarafireheart.

Frankly, I easily cry when I get upset and have problems that I cannot solve. I think this is my weak point,but I just cannot control my emotion. I will always cry when I am in trouble to relieve my feelings and stress. I think this is very bad. It's true,crying is indeed a sign of weakness.

No. Actually it is a sign of release Mentally and physically and spiritually. I believe crying release stress in a person's life. There is nothing wrong with. I believe that it makes you a stronger person by showing your true emotions. I know i cry if i'm hurt or happy. I think people should cry more often they will feel alot better in life.
