I really have many problems as of now. I am already confused how to handle them. People tend to say I am a stone-hearted person. That I don't have word of honor. I just cried because I can't take anymore with my problems. But I always remember God because he is always there willing to support me.

Crying does not make you weak in any way, I consider crying as a way of releasing your emotions. Some people cry while others, looks for other ways to release their emotions.

As for me, I really have to cry. It is just my way to release my emotions. I cry so hard. I cry in my room wherein people can't see.

Releasing your emotions is important for good health and any way you do provided that you do not hurt anyone, it is very much accepted. I like it that you cry privately.

releasing our feeling in different way might be healthy but too much crying is not good for our health is it makes our heart weak, it might ok to cry a bit or a lot in a day and perhaps find our way in a certain scope to release our sadness. as what they've said, crying cant bring back what was happened so we really need to go on and look forward for a happy days.

What's the use of tears if we don't cry? I think it's much better to cry the pains, frustrations, anger, etc., than withholding them because you feel release or relieved by doing it. So it doesn't mean you're weak when you cry. Be happy!

Yes, crying helps and it doesn't mean we're weak. We go through trials and we could go through them victoriously if let God help us. Good day!

Thanks for the lightening my thoughts. I just realized that we never run out of problems in our lives but even though, God still helps us. He never leaves us. It is just something to put our faith on him to test. I don't want to think about my problems. I want positive thoughts.

I feel so relieved whenever I try to express the hurt I have been experiencing through crying. You know what, after I cry, I feel happy. I am happy because I am still alive. I am happy because I am able to survived whatever trials that God gave me.

I don't think that crying makes you weak, sometimes it is a mechanism to help you deal with some things. FOr me when I get frustrated and upset I can't help it but cry. I have even tried in the past to not cry but it doesn't help I always end up crying.

I love the word you used here, mechanism. Cyring is one way to free ourselves from all we are going through in life. It is important to rest somehow. I cry whenever I feel I can't seem to handle or take the problem anymore. I cry when I am happy too.

Dear cearn25 you must have seen the soft water falling in the valleys breaks the hard rocks to small pieces i.e, sand. The softer-the more powerful. Crying is divine. Don't be shy of crying. Medically crying cleanses your eyes. In occult world they say crying cleanses your soul.

Wow! Brilliant words as I may say. I really liked what you have said here my friend. Also, I learned a lot from you even though you just said a little. I am a soft person. I don't want to be rude as much as possible but there are times I can't just let myself be drag by my problems and by other people who want me to put down.

crying doesn't mean your weak at all. Some people believe that they show their weakness when their crying but, for me, it is a show of strength, that you are brave enough to release yourself from the burdens of the world, and that you are also a human being who knows emotion. Don't worry, as I always say, problems in life are all but a test of your faith, don't lose hope. You will see it through and become a better person afterwards.

Thank you. What you have said inspires me a lot. It makes me even stronger to face all the struggles I have. How thoughtful of you. I cry because I just want to release everything I feel especially when I can't hold it anymore. Crying is my refuge.

I don't think it makes you weak. I myself have started having a issue that started as of a couple years back and I'll have random breakdowns every once in awhile. Anxiety, worried, lots of thinking bout the future, i think when my brain hits its overload of thoughts is what causes it. It is better to let it out than keep it in. Its some all of us as humans go threw. I think you will be just fine. :)

Thanks my friend for giving me a very beautiful response. It is really not easy to experience horrible things in life. In spite of this, I know there must be reasons why we have to undergo such harsh situations. It is for us to know are those people who have been there with us and how we are able to surpass the challenge we may face.

Those harsh situations and any situations in our lives helpmold us into who we are today. In the end i think it makes us stronger once we know how to cope with it. Everything will be okay tho in the end.

Sad? - I looked it didn't I...a long time ago now...I've always had a sentimental heart, easily moved to tears. It's a good thing!
No; crying means you are sensitive; not weak; not stony. I cry alot and I'm a guy. It means you're emotional; that's a good thing. God loves those with a tender heart, who are easily moved to tears. I can feel tough sometimes too...and then...a tale of sorrow brings me to tears. It makes me feel better...to keep the heart soft.

Some other guys find it hard to admit that they also cry too. Some other guys say they don't cry and it is shameful when people will see them cry. I think it is not right. It will not be bad if a guy cries. It is a great feeling.

We humans usually reasons out "I'm just human." Yes we are that's why we have to act like human. Because human as we are, we feel many things and we try to express it as much as possible. Don't be afraid to express your feelings.

I don't feel that crying makes you weak. I think that crying is good for a person because it helps them when they are having problems. You can't have everything bottled up inside because that will just make things worse. I feel that everyone should cry and let out their feelings as well as to talk to someone about them and get advice. I think you shouldn't listen to these people. If you have any close friends make sure to talk to them about this; because it's always good to talk things out with friends. Good luck and keep your head up.

Crying is another way of telling ourselves to take a break from the problems we are experiencing. Sometimes in life we need to rest and free ourselves. It doesn't mean that we just have to completely forget everything. It is a time for us to think and have an energy to face the problem again with all strength.

Nope! Crying does not mean you are weak. It only shows you are normal. Crying is a normal human tendency so don't be afraid to cry. Those people who don't cry are depriving themselves of the chance to live a normal life. Of course I am not telling you to be a cry baby all the time but when you do have problem and you find it too tough and you feel helpless, you can always cry. It is a way of releasing the tension top avoid heart problem in the long run.

I cry so I am normal. We are all normal so we all cry. Is my logic correct my friend? I am not afraid of crying. Many people have already witnessed me cry. There are even instances that I cry in public transport whenever I am having a problem. I just can't avoid to cry.

It takes a strong person to let themselves cry. I know that there are people out there say that crying is a sign of weakness, but to me, they couldn't be more wrong. Anyone can be strong, but it takes a really strong person to realize that crying is just another form of release. I cry, you cry and everyone out there cries at one point or another. If someone is saying you are weak for crying, they are not as strong as you. I never let what someone says about me effect me, why? Because the people who matter won't judge you for crying and the people who do judge you, don't matter. You need to realize that there are always going to be people putting you down, and it's okay to cry, as long as you realize that it's not crying that is important, but what you do once the tears dry up. If you just give up and believe what others say about you, you are letting them win. If you stay true to yourself and pick yourself back up and try again, you win. Just remember that it is okay to cry. It doesn't make you less of a person, it just means that you know who you are and that you aren't afraid to let your emotions out. I hope that you stay strong and always stay true to yourself.

It would be hipocrisy if a person denies crying. We all cry and there are various reasons why we cry. It doesn't mean when we cry, we are already weak enough to face our problems in life. I stay strong even I am already in the edge. Thanks my friend for being there. I really appreciate it.

Crying doesn't indicate that a person is weak. It's actually a sign that we are alive and full of potential. Crying allows us to let go of pain, grief and sometimes anger. It's a biological to emotional build up, it represents neither strength or weakness.

Thank you my friend. What you have said is very nice. I really liked it. I know crying doesn't mean we are wealk already. Crying has a lot of meaning and it depends on the mood or the situation.

For me its not. It's normal to cry when we have problems. And it's a way to express our feelings, for us to come out the stress and problems that bothers us. Even I do the same thing also,I cry sometimes if I can't handle anymore the pain especially if I want to burst it out.Aside from sharing my problems to my closest friends most especially to my mom, I rarely cry in front of them. But when I'm alone,I cry a couple of times already without anybody knowing it just to lessen the burden or the hurt that i feel.Then afterwards, It helps me to recover things and with God also which guide,love and protect me always.

You are right my friend. Let us just be honest to ourselves that sometimes we have to exlode everything we feel when we think we can't handle it anymore. It doesn't mean we are weak. It means we take our time. Thanks my friend for sharing your own experiences. I am also like you.

i do not think that crying is a sign of weakness. i always believe that crying is some sort of an inner cleansing. you cry and you eliminate yourself of your inner hurts. we often do need to cry when we feel our hearts can't take the pain anymore. yes. remember to always hold on to God... I am also here for you. when you need a friend to talk to... please come and share with me, i will be willing to be your listening ear.

People say million things about us. There is no way we can satisfy and impress everybody in this world. You be who u are. you are good however u r. And my dear, CRYING DOES "NOT" MEAN you are weak. There are some people who say or think crying means you are weak. But I don't agree with them. We MUST cry when we feel like crying. Yes, maybe, not in front of others, but being alone. It's a natural reaction for an emotional being. We are not stones not to react when hurt.!

Thank you for your thoughts buddha3. Crying for me sometimes is my only friend when I have problems. Its just that I feel I am weak enough that I just cry. But when I cry, I feel okay and motivated to live life.

i dont think its a sign of being weak if someone cries as it only help in releasing ourself from being in deep pain or sadness and make us feel better after. theres also scientific explanation about releasing of tears from our eyes like why theres tears and its too long to discuss here

Why don't you discuss it? . Just joking! I also wonder there are tears when we cry. I mean, where are those come from? Can you explain it?

I don't think think crying means weakness. There are a lot of strong men who have cried, like Spider-man, Superman, Batman, etc.. Crying is the expression of an emotion, much like love, happiness, sadness, and others. When I got punched for ruining someone's card collection, I cried. But I got back at him by smashing his windshield with a rock. Now you tell me that it's weak.

Wow! You are so brave. I also noticed those very popular character in the movies who cried. Also in reality, I have seen people crying. There are different reasons why a person cry. And it doesn't mean that crying will make us weak. Thank you for sharing your opinions.

We cry because we're hurt or in pain. But it doesn't mean at all that we are weak in just crying... but it may be... because we have emotions to let go within our inner self and yes, maybe it's an adjective to some... Overall, we cry because we are just human that feels the urge to cry... so, no big deal! Men or women has the right to feel the urge of crying because as I've said, we're all human *LOL!

We really use that reason "we're just human". I believe that crying is part of being human. Crying is a natural thing that happens to us.

Nope it is not. I'm a cry baby and I can say that I am not weak because I am crying. It's good to cry when we are having problems or we are hurt or in pain. We need to let go of all those pent up emotions. Crying will relieve us from those heavy feelings.

It is cute to hear that cry baby thing you said. I don't really that very emotive when it comes to cry. But when I cry, I burs it all out. I want to leave no mark so that after I cry and made realizations, I have decided on what to do about the problem or the reason why I have cried.
