Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've cried in public before. I couldn't hold it in, I guess. I really hate it when people see me cry, so I try to hold it in when I'm around people.

• (( witty phrase )) •


Sometimes it just happens, but i will always try to hold it in :3

I don't care have silent tears slipping down my cheeks while watching a movie tho.
Lolol i have cried in movies you wouldnt even expect xD.

I'm extremely sensitive and I cry very easily so yes, I do cry in public. I hate it, but it happens >_< I stop quickly though. Usually I'll just excuse myself to the bathroom, let it out for a few minutes, and go back to class as usual. I have cried in art class a few times. Mostly cause my friends wer being bitches and my project was coming out absolutely horribly and i thought I'd ruined it, while everyone else was making like beautiful masterpieces. It suuuucked. And I have mild depression so even though im happy often occasionally I'll just sink into depressino for weeks on end for no reason. One day it got so bad and my friend was in deep s**t and I was scared for him and it was just an awful day, and I couldnt stop crying. Complete sobbing, couldnt stop. i went home.

Edit: I'm fine when people cry in public. If they need to cry, I totally understand that. If they're my friend I try and just sit with them until they're done. It's always good to have someone support you. But a few of my drama queen friends cry about the most dumb things ever just for attention so I act compassionate but really I'm thinking 'shut the ******** up....'. One of my friends whos a TOTAL ATTENTION WHORE failed a test in our global class, so she starts crying and goes to SOCIAL WORK. I'm like...... REALLY?

I respect your opinion, but in my own opinion I dont know why people think it's a sign of weakness. I think it's a sign of strength if you can just allow yourself to let it out and get it overwith. Holding it in often makes me feel worse. If you can just let yourself get it out for a few minutes, preferably excusing yourself to a bathroom or somewhere you can be alone, and then just feel better afterwards, I think that's better than acting tough constantly. Now, I think its a sign of weakness however if you cry constantly and are just trying to get attention. Then it's just ******** pathetic. But again, I think it's a sign of strength if you can just let yourself cry a little and then get over it. It's only natural; humans are emotional.

The last time I cried in public.. was not too long ago, lol. I tried to hold it back but it hurt too much, not to. I wiped out, and it wasn't one of those slow falls where you can easily stop yourself, oh no. It was one of those falls where you blink and the next thing you know your on the ground in pain. I somehow landed on my side more than anything. But dang, it hurt.

Most of the time I try to hold it back, but sometimes.. you just can't.

I don't find crying itself weak, I just think it's weak for me to do it in public. Unless something major happened to a friend or a family member. I just always try to hold it in until I get home.
