Welcome to Gaia! ::

I hate it too. When I did cry in public though, I had to do it at my fluffing school. D:<

i cry in the public one's and it never be repeated.,now i hold it in and find a place where i can cry privately like in my room or in our terrace at night under the moonlight

I've cried in public before. I don't gawk when other people do. It's natural, it's not worth makin' big deal out of. I cried on my birthday when my friend (now my best ;P) told me that one person can't break a chain of cruelty (Petland), I've cried at school when my other best friend and I got in a huuuge fight, and I cried in public when my mom told me about my parent's divorce, that she was going house looking and was scoping out this nice place a town over. I'm sure there've been other times.

Nor do I like asking why someone is crying. It's their problem, not mine, and if they wanted to tell us why, they could.

Yup I have. At work and at school. School was because someone who was supossed to be my friend spread rumors about me around and all my friends began to hate me.

And work was when I had been working the 5am shift and I had been up since 3 am and they wanted me to a double shift. That would have been the 9th double shift and I was so tired as it was already and I just broke down and said no I'm not. shortly after that I quit.

I usually hold it in, I have this need to be strong ya know...If I don't who will? But today one of the songs at church really struck me and I fell to my knees and started crying, not weeping but still leaky little tears. I'm not to fond of people who cry in public. the rest of the world doesn't want your sorrow but then again crying in public is a very vonerable thing to do and either you must be a super attention whore or something bad happened. So more often then not I find myself trying to comfort them and find out what's wrong.

There was one time I was at target and this woman on the other end of the isle just colapsed and started bawling. I thought she was hurt so I rushed to her. Turned out she had just hung up the phone...her dad lost his battle with cancer. So I just sat there in the middle of the walkway with a hand on her knee and just prayed. Kinda odd I know because like I didn't know if she bought any of the words I said but it was all I could think and it seemed to lift her up some, at least she had the strength to get out of the store.

edit: wednesday at work I was coming down with this aweful bug...didn't know it...and it made really grumpy and my class was not cooperating so I got a little loud, telling them to share. Then one of my favorates burst out in tears. She was one of the few who I wasn't directing my comments to but she was so upset. I instantly softened and took her to the restroom to wash her face and tell me what was wrong. She told me that she doesn't like being yelled out. I told her I was sorry and I guess all the emotion got to me becaus a single tear rolled down my cheeck and she asked why I was crying. and I told her because I made someone I love cry and she hugged me told me I didn't have t cry because she wasn't upset anymore.

I never cry in public. If I do I would do it when I am by myself so no one can see my cry. But most of the time I hold it in until I get home so I can do it alone in my room. For some strange reason I feel weak if I cry in public. And I don't like to show people or the world that I get weak at times because the world will chew you up and spit you back out like they're no tomorrow.

I hate crying in front of people, but it has happened before. I prefer to excuse myself to the bathroom if I'm going to cry, because people rarely bother me there. The thing I hate most about crying in public is people asking why I am crying. When I'm happy, no one pays attention to me, so when I'm depressed, suddenly I'm all noticeable? No. Just no. Depression is my business and sometimes I just need to cry. There's no reason to go nuts just because I'm crying. I've cried fairly recently, but I was alone at the time. I always always cry ALONE if I can help it.
