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.
I've cried when any of my pets have died. But never ever over life, family or work stresses. I am a problem solver, not someone that freaks out over some bumps in the road of life. I just don't get the point of that.
I've cried when I had to put 3 of my pets to sleep,when my father, mother,sister and late husband passed away.
For the 2nd time I doubt that the OP and some of the others who made comments were referring to whinners.
Wish I could cry more...sometimes, things get all bottled up and I can't cry...oh, my eyes tear, a lot, they tear when I laugh, or when I'm happy...but of late, crying is just not in my vocabulary...
Has anyone else noticed that when you get older you don't cry as much?
Just wondering if it's only me?
course, I'm probably the oldest one here...
now I'm gonna cry....LOL
Miu -

Actually I did not ask for opinions, I asked a question (but that is neither here nor there). I also never said I cried daily. However, you do not know my stress and for some the stress can be overwhelming. I will not go into my personal life only to say "this too shall pass - and - I pray your life is never filled with what we are going through at this time"
Some people live their lives simple with little or no stress, there are others who deal with a dying family member, mother of their children, husband inflicted with cancer, parent with dimentia, no money for food, children going through tramas, and the list goes on. I will close by saying once again I pray your life is never filled with what we are going throgh at this time.
I wonder if deep down she is depressed about something and doesn't even know it.
I think her crying is a little to much also, something is bothering her.
