Do you cry when hurt? I do and I forgive the person after that.It seems all my hurt,grievance,sorrow and anger flow out through my tears!hence comes the forgiveness.Are you ashamed of admitting it? or you don't cry? Does it shows you are tough,practical,matured?

Yes, I do cry but there are some instances that I don't cry. I mean I think it depends upon the situation. There are some instances that people may not cry because they are hurt, others do get angry and frustrated. I am not ashamed of admitting that I cry because I am only a person and I have feelings. For me it is not the basis of maturity but it depends on how the person handle the situation.

No I seldom cry,but that doesn't mean i'm mature.I dislike crying when i'm hurt, i just keep it in my mind and stay alone.

I don't if it comes to what a person did to me. I have not many people around me and the ones I know/have are not hurting me with words or behaviour etc anymore. If it comes to my husband might be he can hurt me but I would not cry either, he would make me angry and fight back. If it comes to hurt (injury, infections, etc) I also don't cry. And if it would be not with tears. I am not able to make tears anymore (med. problem). This besides of the fact I prefer to suffer alone and tears (at the time I was still able to cry with tears) never made me feel better. I don't think it shows anything. There are people who cry about nothing, there are people who you will never see crying but who do if they are alone.

I have been hurt by my own elder step brothers many times,but never cried.Instead,I either kept silent pocketing the insult or burst out of anger.I knew they were wrong and that they were interested only in hurting me for no fault of mine,so containing myself on such occasions was impossible for me.I don't think crying at being hurt is a mature gesture.You need to assert yourself and retort back in a graceful manner.Crying shows that we are requesting others to take pity on us which is something I don't like.

I am a crybaby.But I don't think I am not mature.After a heavy cry,I'll get relaxed and then be stronger to meet with the difficulty.It is just a way for me to get rid of the stress.And it is the same thing that if someone rarely cries,it doesn't mean that they are tough.They may try to hide the sadness deeply in heart.In other words,they are good at hiding.

Well I don't cry but I am sure that other People do cry when they are hurt.It is true that I forgive the person who has done something wrong to me. Later I make him realize his fault.In this does not show that I am tough but definitely I am practical if you mean it.
