It's okay to cry. I hope you are not overwhelmed and depressed. If you are feeling down then you need a little time to yourself. While you are by yourself do something you love to do (hobby), play old school video games with a role of quarters, or go to a playground and watch the kids run around and play. If no one's looking then get on the swings and rock your cares away.
Sometimes we get lost in "today's world" with life's challenges and often when we were kids the smallest things made us so happy.
But after the crying, the problems are still there. So what's the difference with crying and feeling sorry for yourself day after day over the same stresses, and just dealing with the problems head on and keeping them in proper perspective? The daily stresses that you are crying over just aren't worth crying over. By crying, you are making them into a bigger problem than they really deserve. Laughing over split milk is just telling yourself that trivial things that you have no control over are NOT worth crying about or making them into any sort of bigger deal.
Laughing is a proper release and a much better response than a good cry.
Crying also suggests sadness, and eventually it will make you look older than you really are. By contrast, by ME being in honest good humour with my life, I am frequently mistaken for being 20 years younger than I really am. And looking serious or unhappy makes me look a lot older...
Anyway, the O.P. asked for our opinions not our sympathies, and that's what I am giving her, just my honest opinions. I am also very happy with my life and I'm just trying to help her out. And in good conscience, there is no way I can condone or encourage her daily weeping habits.
glass is half full hide your emotions and not deal with them type...funny to me..God made tears for a reason...once the tears flow the spirit is a little bit cleaner....p.s. ..there are lots of girls that think the same way as you but i saw this show "tough love" and eventually everyone of those girls had walls put up and that guy steve made those people face the truth and they all eventually cryed...so you must have been damaged emotionally at a younger age and just dont realize the extent of it to just block everything out with laughter like that.....it doesnt impress me ...i respect people who are real about thier emotions actually

As stated previously, we all know crying won't change a bad situation but what it can do is relieve the frustration or upset you are feeling - it's a healthy release of emotions. AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. In fact, the healthier you are emotionally the more likely you are to understand the value of shedding a few tears when necessary.
I agree....too many phonies and tough guy wannabees on here....if they never had a moment where the tears just came without them thinking of the situation to make them come then they havent been through anything tough enough to make them a real man....ive had times where i just cryed from the stress of seeing my brothers face cut open from a car accident to times when i saw how hard my mom tryed in life but things got taken from her because a man felt threatened by her position at her job so she lost it and in return lost her house she tryed and tryed to get her whole life....i cryed when they said she has problems with her liver that might not be fixed and she has pain every night too....you're a heartless dude not to cry for the people you care about in a tough situation...there's a ytime to laugh a time to cry and a time to pick up the pieces and move on...so quit trying to front like your tough because thats not true....its just that you are heartless
No disrespect to anyone but some of you need to man up for real. I guess I'm one of those "man up" type of men that even when stuff gets to me (which I don't allow it) to the point of crying, I don't shed the waterworks because for me, crying doesn't do any good. It's not going to change the situation so why go through all the drama of crying? It's just going to re-open those wounds that you may want left alone.
i'll tell you what ....i had 4 teeth pulled 3 weeks ago...you know how many damn pain pills i took?....none....how many did you take honestly for that kind of pain...and guess what...i cry sometimes .....not over petty stuff but somethings in life make you shed tears sometimes if you've had a real life....if not then maybe you just dont understand your emotions because they havent been tested yet

Yep.
The only time I "cry" is when the eye doctor is testing tear production.
I have been through extreme physical pain and have never once cried. I certainly have never cried for "stress" or "emotional" reasons.
I really find it hard to take seriously so called "sensitive" men. Man up.

And you think not taking pain pills is a sign of toughness? If the pain was really bad you should have taken the pills, if it wasn't then they weren't needed.
I had 4 teeth pulled a couple months ago. The first two weren't bad, the last two were and I darn well took the pills for the last two.
