Is crying a sign of weakness?

Crying cannot be taken as a sign of weakness. It is a very useful method to get rid of pent up or suppressed feelings which have been making the life worse of the person. Although crying in public cannot be justified, crying in private is always okay. Many people try to control crying by suppressing their feelings and try to show that they are strong internally. But this creates a great pressure on the psychology on the person. Such a practice leads to many bad feelings which the person has not let go of. Crying is letting go of suppressed or bad feelings and creating space for new and good feelings. Once I was feeling very bad. Although I haven't cried for many years till today, one day tears started flowing down my eyes and I had a thought that they must be let alone and not tried to be suppressed. So I let them flow and after a while I had not even an ounce of that bad feeling. Although crying is taken as a sign of weakness it can be used as a powerful method of getting out of depression. And moreover people might say something for a while but after that everyone forgets it and eventually you are forget it too.

For me it is a sign of relief.

I really don't think so. It is just a mechanism that our body has designed to quell out our emotions that are deeply entrenched in us. I really think that we need to cry from time to time to let those emotions go out. Crying can make our feelings a bit lighter after we have had all those feelings let out. it is also a sign that we are humans too.

Nope crying is only normal when we feel hurt or there are some people who cries when they are happy. And crying is not a sign of weakness even for guys. And crying is good because it cleanses our eyes. But be sure you dont do it too much :)

I wouldn't think of her as weak at all. She must have had a really sad moment or hard time or problem to make her cry. She is strong enough to be able to show her emotion like that in front of people.

I dont believe that crying is a sign of weakness. You shouldnt feel that it is. It is the person way of grieving or dealing with whatever is going on at the time. Sometimes it is all a person has when they dont have anyone to turn to. Its okay to cry

I don't think so. Crying just shows your emotions and I don't think it stands for the weakness. I love China

I don't think that it's a sign of weakness. I think that it's completely natural and normal to cry. It shows that we are human beings. It's really normal to want to cry, as well as crying. After all, we are entitled to our feelings, to our emotions. And crying is one of them.

Crying is a normal expression of emotions for human beings so it's not a sign of weakness. All of us cry for a reason. Some cry because of too much happiness that's why the phrase "tears of joy" was born. Others cry because of an extreme sadness and after they've cried their heart out, they feel better. I don't consider the crying woman in the train a weakling. She was just being true to her feelings as she expressed it through her tears. For me, I appreciate those people who are not afraid to cry than those who tend to pretend to be strong but deep inside their crying.

i honestly feel one should not cry...she should find a solution for her problem n try hard to solve it.........if her boy friend dumped her then she should feel that its his loss.... or if her dear one has passed away then its very difficult to control our tears....but its not impossible...........
