" Crying is a very healthy release.

I cry easily and I am not ashamed of it....sometimes it's a hindrance if I am trying to talk but otherwise I have no problem crying and showing my feeling. Some people think it's being overly sensitive, weak, etc but I find these are the people who have much more severe issues than those of us who can release and let the tears flow.

JMHO "

" Wait...I worded part of that wrong.

I should have said that those people who think it's being weak/over sensitive , etc have issues that won't LET them cry...I didn't mean it in a negative way....my apologies if that's how it came out. "

" i used to never cry in front of anybody else. only when i was so mad i couln't control it.

i didn't cry in front of my kids when they were taken and now it makes me wonder if they thought that i didn't care. i damn sure screamed and cried when i got alone though! "

" I don't get angry because I cry BUT there is a total difference for me if I am crying BECAUSE I am angry...this, for me, is NOT a healthy thing because if the tears come from anger I am liable to do or say something I will surely regret.....NOTHING good can come from angry tears...for me anyways.

" To me it takes a big person to be able to cry, rather than one who thinks they are to big to cry. If you have a good friend that is a friend indeed just go to them and tell them to hold you and just let you cry,no words just cry you will feel better. "
