Do u think Crying is a sign of weakness?

No, I do not think that is proof of cowardice/weakness. Actually, I think that is proof of courage. Only a brave man, with feelings and balanced physique may cry. I think it is healthy to cry, so you can discharge and "throw" bad thoughts in your mind. There are certainly studies attest that it's healthy to cry, there should be such testing. I don`t like people who say you're not brave if you cry. Speak only of what they have heard from the parents (parents trying to make they not cry).

I don't think it's true. In fact men are emotional and they hide it well. It has something to do with our pride or ego. But we don't usually want to see any people see us cry. I do cry a lot, I cry easily, but no one usually see me. I think it's not a weakness and it is a necessity, crying unleashes pain, and negative emotions. If we don't cry then we'll probably explode keeping everything to ourselves. To cry without reason when newly into a relationship? I don't quite get that part, because there's always a reason for crying. I guess you're unconsciously sad or lonely that you feel like crying? You may want to share the details so we can understand better. Nonetheless, crying isn't something we should be ashamed of. Unless we cry over something useless or shallow.

As you have rightly said - crying is a way out of releasing out pent up emotions. When one is alone, irrespective of his/her gender, and he/she is feeling upset due to one reason or another, crying out alone in solititude does help in releasing tension and I find it is one of the best method and it is like a natural catharsis.In my view, it cannot be termed as a sign of weekness.

hi shankari prabhu,. men seldom cry is absolutely wrong wrong wrong. because i am a male 23yr age sidhar,am frm coimbatore, i also cry a lot for a simple problems, for ex if any body scolds me lightly i will start cry and i will not ashame to cry even in public places. no no no definately crying is not a weakness. realy i am very glad to cry because crying will decrease depression and relax mind and i wiil never go moodout because of crying,if i try to control my emotion i wiil be definately depressed a lot and mood upset, for ex. my brother is very strict and rough he will not at all cry but for simple problems in his profession he will be too depressed and he will not talk to anybody, and upset, in my point of view crying is not at all bad thing, crying decrease minds depression and improves mind stability.. and one thing i dont have this type of experience when i newly into a relationship, i will only laugh. signing off sridhar

I do not cry very often even though I am a woman. I work very hard not to cry. I am not 100% sure why, other than I do not like to have people see me cry. I infuriates me to have someone see me cry. Not really sure why. I'm weird I know.

Cry is a sign of a man who life his live. Not a sign of weakness.

I certainly do not think crying is a sign of weakness although many people (especially men) are raised to think that this is so. Blocking in emotions is not wise as it puts stress on the nervous system which in turn stresses out the immune system. Crying is a natural function and it is wise to just let it happen.

I would rather see a man cry than have built up anger or emotions and then take it out on someone else. While men are taught that they need to act tough and crying shows they are weak, they are human too and have emotions and feel pain, so I don't see why they can't cry if needs be.

i dont really agree with you that men seldom cry,we do but you ahrdly see when we do it because mostly we are not given to so much emotions.most of the time the man cries in his closet or cry in silence and you dont really see the tears falling down on our face ,though i disagree that crying is a sign of weakness it is a show of emotion rather

From my point of view,crying means many different things,could be a weakness,craving for someone's care or sympathy, or being extremely upset or disappointed. Men don't cry often maybe because of their ego,we always assume that men need to be tough and cannot cry. Hence,most of the guys would hold their tears to protect their ego. That's what I am thinking. Anyway,crying can indicate different things. I always cry to get attention from my boyfriend,I use my tears as my secret weapon actually.

well, before, i don't like to cry.... i feel it is a sign of weakness, so, not matter what was happen to me, I also won't cry in front of people.... I don't want to show my weakness and i also don't wish others worried about me... If I cry, i also only will cry when i was alone and at the midnight... I don't wish to let others see i am crying... now, i only will cry in front of my dear... I don't mind to show my weakness in front of my dear... I know and I believe that my dear will protect me, so anything happen, i can cry in front of him... he will conform me.... I like that... well, my dear also have the same character as me, so he also will only cry in front of me... actually cry can release your stress but it really difficult for you to cry in front of other... well, this is just my comment...

i like crying in the childhood.i will releasing stress ,emotion and grief through crying.that is hard to cry when you are adult.that is a sign of weakeness in most opinion .I hope the coception will be changed.

It is true that men cry less often than women, but there is a biological reason for that. Testosterone makes crying hard for a man. It also makes his crying less often and shortened, ie he will burst into tears, but only for 30 secs at a time. I have a hard time crying, but I do it every so often. It's a good emotional release. My girlfriend cries about five times as much as me though, which kind of proves the testosterone thing. Great question!

i cry sometimes nd it is not a sign of weakness

I feel,crying is a sign of mental weakness and poor capacity to cope with unusal events.It is also a means for releasing stress,emotion and grief.People who possess full cofidence on themselves and are fully aware of the true meaning of life, never easily surrender to any odd circumstances they face.They stay positive and unnerved;they boldly face the hard realities of life.Thanks.

For me crying is expressing what we feel inside.Its a way of showing our emotions.We cry for joy, cry for pain and for other reasons.Theres nothing wrong in crying.I feel relieve after crying because it releases whatever feeling i have inside.

Women tend to cry more than men because women are more emotional and sensitive and are more in touch with their feelings. I cry too when im depressed and lonely but i dont see anything wrong with that. It's not a sign of weakness, it's just natural. If you feel like crying, you shouldnt stop yourself from doing it and feeling the pain. We're humans, were supposed to cry. Men dont cry that much because for most men it's a sign of weakness. You're not macho enough if you cry. That's the common misconception about men who cry. I like men who cry because i know they're in touch with their human and emotional side.

I think that really depends on the situation. Like if you are crying, because some one has hurt your feelings or beaten you down for whatever reason, then I think that shows the sign of weakness. If you are crying, because you saw something very sad on one of those drama shows or something of that sort, I don't think that shows the sign of weakness; rather it probably shows that you have a strong emotion, but that doesn't mean that you are weak.

crying is generally a sign that one is experiencing something overwhemingly emotional. it may be enormous joy, sorrow, fear, hopelessness, despair,grief, love, or even confusion. while we are in a moment of extreme emotionality, it is true that we may not necessarily be up to our fullest strength, whatever that means. crying tends to put anyone in a temporary state of reduced capacity. when one experiences emotions so overwhemingly that tears are formed, it takes an incredibly strong person to stay in the moment, to let the feelings wash over them, embrace them, and perhaps, take them over for a moment. it is an incredibly strong person who can endure emotional pain, let the tears flow, and wait for the emotion to pass. therefore, i argue that only the truly strong allow themselves to cry.

I don't believe that crying is a sign of weakness. Infact, it's a way of releasing feelings of grief, sadness and sometimes loneliness which are hidden deep within. And sometimes if you're angry and you really want to let your self be heard you started to cry. Men and women do cry. It doesn't mean that if you're a man and you cry you're gay or you act as feminine. It just means that you're human and you have feelings. So that when you're hurt tears would just flow without you noticing it.
