Answers: Do you cry when you are sad and/or happy? Or do you suppress those emotions? Why?
I have cried on both occassions.
i dont like crying in front of orther people..but if im just home, and im sad, ill be like a faucet...its not healthy to keep it all in
suppress, always had to be strong for everyone and now couldn't cry even if i wanted to.....
depends on male or female males are taught not express emotions when they are young but the joke is on them the older they get the more emotions they have
so to your answer @ 20 never cry @ 40 cry when sad or happy
Both, but I don't like anyone to see--it's very private.
When I'm sad I don't smile. When I'm happy I don't smile. It's kind of hard for me to tell if I'm happy or sad. However, I do frequently tear up when I see a military casket for it reminds me of those who died so I could be happy.
It depends on who I'm with. If it's family, I'll open up and let my emotions loose, because I know my family will understand what I'm going through/dealing with. If it's with my friends or with people I don't know, or aren't very close to, I'll hold it in as much as I can (I've only cried maybe twice in the past 10+ years in front of non-family members.) That's because I don't like being called sensitive/emotional, so I try to keep my emotions private as much as possible.
I cry so openly, and at time it is very embarrassing. Yesterday during work I was speaking with another employee. His wife died, his daughter died of cancer and his other daughter committed suicide. I was sitting at my desk talking about it and we were both crying. I use to suppress all my sadness and anger and landed up getting depressed.
I have never been able to not cry when I get really sad, or see a sad movie. Cry in anger, that is my worse problem.
I am just emotional, that is why I guess!
Not unless I am really really upset or I am pregnant and just can't help myself. I pretty much never cry when I am happy - I tend to get really giddy and giggly instead. And when I feel sad I generally keep it to myself. I hate crying in public and I never do unless it's a funeral or I am really too sad to hold it back. Why do I suppress the tears? I guess I like my privacy and don't feel the need to share that with everyone.
