Is crying really a sign of being weak?

Or if you’re Shinji Ikari from Evanglion.

there is no such thing as crying too much.
if uni girl always cried every time that ppl disagreed w her, i understand her lmao but srsly

crying is literally for calming your emotions when they get out of control, if she needs to cry, don’t judge her for it
what would be wrong is that she pinned it on everyone else, but that’s an issue separate from this topic.

But like… some people cry for like attention and not because they actually need to cry or feel sad. Then everyone comforts the person and takes their side, even when they’re in the wrong.

that has nothing to do with crying in itself, thats a guilt tactic. crying to make people feel bad is dumb but its still wrong to judge the girl from shannii’s university in shannii’s perspective.

Yeah okay fair point. You can’t judge someone just for crying.

No. Crying doesn’t make you weak. It’s quite a strong thing to do, especially to cry in front of others. I don’t like to cry in front of others, but I end up doing so. It’s hard to hold in tears. :thinking::white_heart:

I don’t think that crying is ever a sign of weakness. There are plenty of other things it could represent, but I think it largely just represents that someone is overwhelmed in some way. Some people can cry too much, but that’s a different issue.

No, I don’t believe crying is a sign of weakness. Crying is good, it can help you get stuff out of your chest, and it’s always okay to cry!

Crying is brave for those who hide their emotions.

I sadly can’t get over the mentality that it is…

Mental breakdowns are great…especially when you cry in front of your mom…not.

Cried again a couple days ago. Yay. I have a thread where I explain everything.

Yeah, me too. If someone’s upset me, I never let them see me cry. The only time I’ve cried in front of other people is at cast parties, my drama retreat because everyone else is crying too, and the occasional funeral.

Actually, far fewer people see it as a sign of weakness these days than before. We’ve come a long way :slight_smile:
