I am a person with shallow tears. I easily cry. Coz I am too sensitive. So every time I want to cry and I don't want everyone would see the tears falling into my eyes I usually bit my lips to stop the emotions that causing me to cry. But only to find out that the lip that I bit is much more painful because when it cause you wounds you can't hardly eat.
Then, there's this japanese novela that says that when you don't want your tear to fell you just hang yourself upside down so that the tear will go back inside of your eyes. lol. I think I can't do that. ^_^
Crying in the rain is still the best ways to hide my tear to everybody I have tried this before and to my surprise nobody can tell that I am crying. Even the rattle in your voice they still can't tell that you've been crying all the while. ^_^
How bout you my dear mylotters, have you tried hiding your tears in public? How do you manage?

Hi ofzhernandez,
i am an emotional type of person as well, however, i managed to hide my tears to everyone. what i do is when i'm about to cry, i immediately think of something positive or funny, i changed the subject to switch from the negative feelings going to positive so with that, my tears would no longer fall. The main reason why i do not want to cry in front of anybody is because i always think that there are people who doesn't deserved to see those tears behind my eyes, regardless if he/she is your partner or just a mere friend.
if you think the person in front of you is worthy of seeing you cry, for whatever reason, then go for it, because it's not a sin to cry and that person might be able help you to ease the pain that you're feeling inside. on the other hand, if you don't see the sincerity of that person who empathize you, then i suggest for you to keep your tears inside your room. i hope this answers your question and help you in a little way.
Happy Mylotting!

Thanks for a nice comment Nightshade, I always practice managing my tears, not to easily burst it into someone that I don't know if he or she cared. I am trying my best and convince myself to not cry easily because I am not a kid anymore. And as what you had said there are worthy people that can understand what we are feeling for.

I am also an emotional person and it is easy for me to shed tears. However, I don't want others to see me cry. I will feel embarrassed to it. After all, usually people will regard it as a weak action. So when my tears are dropping, sometimes I try to go to the toilet. Or I will try to hold my glasses so that I can wipe my tears a little.

LOL, I never heard about it but might work!
When I wanted to cry in public I would cool down, like be a really cold person in that moment, i would freeze my feelings and the thoughts. I can do it with many other things that we can't just be feeling outside. It's been too many years since I felt like crying in public.

What do you mean by sensitive? easily crying doesn't mean you are too sensitive, there are plenty of people who are easily crying too and are not sensitive at all. Why should you hide your feelings? No matter if it's about crying, being angry or happy.. I don't see the need to hide my feelings in public. I am who I am. If people don't like to see me or my feelings they can look the other way round.
