Welcome to Gaia! ::

I hate talking about this, but I have a problem with crying. It's not like I don't try to not cry, I really REALLY do. But, usaully, the more I try NOT to cry, the harder it is.

I don't cry from getting hurt. (Physically that is.) Or from sad things. (Except that one movie called "The Little Princess", when her Dad almost died I was like NUUUU!. xd ) No, I cry from frustration, emotional hurt, and thoughts of future things. (I.E. My precious Grandmother dying. I think I'll never live without her.) The problem is, I do it alot. I seriously cry myself to sleep. And in public, it's so embarassing! Usually, I go to the bathroom quick and hide. Mostly cause I think I'm awful ugly when I cry, red eyes and face and quaivering voice, ugh, I look like a mess.

Basically, I need some help on how to not cry. And taking deep breaths doesn't help in public.

Arr! Finally someone else!

This happens to me too! I dont cry in sad movies, or when i get hurt. But when people say nasty things, thinking of the future and emotional stuff.

I dont have any advice really.

I just have a few great friends who i'm usually with at the time, who just hug me until it's better.
Without them i pretty much cant stop.
I hate crying too. Some of my friends were saying its a sign of weakness.
I dont think so, i think its a sign of strength, and being able to express your feelings.
It means you feel strongly about something, just like you not wanting your grandmother to die.

I'm just rambling. *hugs* Atleast you're not alone!

Kit, you're supposed to help the Topic Creator.

Anywho, as for Wolf. Can you tell me why going to your room for an hour and bawling your eyes out is bad? There's absolutely nothing with it. If anyone says anything to you tell 'em you're on a hormonal rage, they'll back off. Seriously man, what're they going to do to you?

"Hey, why weren't you online last night?"
"I got grounded..."
"Whatcha do?!"
"I was crying.."

Seriously. Don't worry about it Wolf. After a few sessions of absolutely bawling your eyes out, you should be fine.

(Also, make sure you have a stable amount of water and Sodium in your body before doing this if you don't want a headache or worse - a migraine).

crying is fine when u need to do it. it's not like it's ok to cry for EVRY SINGLE THING [like i believe u made it clear u DON'T do]. so, it's ok to cry, u don't need to hate urself over it. i used to do that, too. but recently i've been more open about it bcs my bf made me realize it's ok to cry, that u feel MUCH better afterwards. of course, i'm not telling u to cry in the middle of the street, in front the whole school, or anything. just cry with the one person u feel comfortable with. i do that with him [my bf] and another friend i have. in fact, my best friends have either NEVER seen me cry or have seen me once or twice. and it's not bcs they don't want to or anything, it's bcs i hide it frm them. the one time they DID see me, it was NOT PLANNED. I went elsewhere bcs i thought they weren't gonna be there, by the time i realized they were there, i couldn't stop crying. point being, there's usually someone u feel comfortable with, someone u know will understand and simply let u cry, hear anything u have to say without asking dumb questions like "are u ok?" [bcs of course they can sak questions, but not stupid ones. they might ask u to tell them what's wrong, or start guessing randonmly, or something like that]. i think u simply need to find that someone, and cry at their shoulder all u need. but DON'T blame urself NOT HATE URSELF for crying. bcs it's completely normal, fine, ok, etc. in fact, IT'S A GREAT WAY TO FEEL RELIEVED, bcs u let it all out, fell asleep, and feel much better afterwards ^_^

Thanks for all the help guys! 3nodding

Maybe your not expressing your emotions enough and your body doesn't have anymore room for some bottled emotions. I DON'T KNOW here. Sorry I'm usually good at giving advice!! Maybe you just need a good cry sometimes.
