A common misunderstanding is that crying is a sign of weakness. But it really isn’t. Our natural emotional response to anything that must have harmed or hurt us in some manner is to cry.

It is not a sign of weakness to feel certain emotions to a given type of situation.

Being weak is defined as lacking the strength or courage to fight one’s way out of a challenging circumstance in which one finds themselves.

However, not everyone gets it.

That is why one MUST always CRY ALONE.

You’d hate to be labeled “weak” for simply having a natural emotional reaction to a circumstance.

Most people would bully you into believing that crying isn’t right.

Crying is always better to being unable to express any emotions at all.

Crying can help you relieve the weight on your heart that bothers you deeply in certain situations.

Every human being, regardless of sex, must cry when they feel like it.

No one should be taught not to cry.

Crying does not mean shouting until one gets completely out of breath and disturbing everyone nearby, for absolutely no reason, or a small reason.

Crying should not be an excuse to make oneself feel like a victim in an event that one is accountable for.

Simply said, I believe that crying is a normal emotional response to any kind of stress, grief, pain, or anger.

Therefore, it’s critical to maintain emotional self-control and to control your emotions so that they can’t be used against you to paint you as a “weak” person.

For instance, if you have strong feelings about a particular situation and, as a result, cry while explaining it to someone, they will probably stop taking you seriously because they will assume that you are only seeking their sympathy and attention because you are unable to control your emotions.

Thus, emotional control is essential. In order to control your emotions, you must express them to yourself and avoid making the mistake of doing so in front of other people. You may only occasionally express your feelings in front of someone else who will comfort you and make you feel vulnerable, like a close friend of same sex, an understanding romantic partner, or your parents.

You have every right to have a reaction to a situation.

So go somewhere, preferably a room, sit by yourself, and CRY ALONE.
