I believe that crying is okay,because it releases emotions and you can feel better afterwards. However, my boyfriend doesn’t like it when I cry, probably because he doesn’t know what to do or say. My boss thinks I am weak when I cry, as I think many people do. I want to be less sensitive and less easily hurt – have “thicker skin, so to speak, while still remaining kind to others and sensitive to them.

How I did it: don't let everything get to you. the little things in life can mean a lot. you don't realize what you have till it's gone."For what you've suffered, you'll be blessed a hundred times more." Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used to cry ALL the time in high school. I had no ability to deal with stress or rejection or disappointment other than cry about it. As I got older, I had a bunch of major life experiences, some good, some bad, and I guess the emotions didn't feel as painful anymore. I still cry, but not as much - and it's more of a way to let off steam occasionally rather than something I do whenever something doesn't go my way. … Read how I did it…

I’ve been wanting to write this entry for a month now; I just hadn’t find the courage until now.
I had a drink with the other student from my hospital unit. We were just supposed to hang out and I had no idea how the evening would turn out. We ended up sharing private things and secrets.
I told him about the death about someone I truly cared about; I had only mentioned it once to another friend but, other than that, I had never shared my feelings about it with anyone.
As I was saying “I miss her”, tears dropped on my cheeks; I felt self-conscious but at the same time, relieved.
I do not consider this as a step back from achieving this goal, though.
Tonny is In Love With LIFE is trusting my inner voice
I just can’t stop crying.. And the worst part is who I cry in front оf.. I even annoy myself with this sobbing. I never considered myself sad or depressive, but with all this stuff happening in my life I need to let off the steam. And of course I find the person who can calm me with just a touch. It is hard when I know that he hugs me just so I stop crying. I am getting really pathetic here, but his hug is the one thing that makes it clear again for me. Complicated! But if it happens to see him and not start crying I will set this goal as dONe. wish me luck

Last time I cried was at the end of my hospital training. I just could not hold back the tears as I left the building.
I absolutely loved this place, this people, this life.
I do not regret this “crying episode”. Saying goodbye is harsh. This was a first time for me so … ‘nope, I’m okay with it :)

My friend told me she didn’t get into med school so I went to spend the evening with her. It was hard not to cry because we had been imagining that we’d spend the rest of our studies together.
The next day, I still hadn’t cried about it. My shift was almost over when the intern asked me if I was okay. So I told him and burst into tears.
This is the second time he sees me crying but I believe (or at least, I hope) he won’t jump to conclusions. I told him I didn’t want him to think I was weak and he just said “That’s normal; it’s good to cry from time to time”.
Truth is, he was right. I feel so much better.

From now on, I’ll avoid crying in front of people.
I don’t mind crying when I’m alone.
I simply the fact people judge you because you cried once in front of them. Besides, it makes you seem weak. Which I hate.

Still crying. I guess it is just an expression of who I am. I am sensible, susceptible and caring. I do not see the point.
I mostly cry when I’m sad; so if I want to stop crying, I should stop being sad. But that’s another story.

I can say that, at 18, I cry about once a week.
I can cry because of a beautiful song, because I suddenly feel alone, because of a movie …
I cry more often when I am tired or when I’m suffering.
Sometimes, there are tears of happiness: when I got into med school, when I graduated, when I saw someone I missed a lot …
I’m not sure I want to cry less.
I believe the reason I’m crying so much is because I’m super sensible but also because I keep so much to myself. At some point, I just have to let it go.

I feel that if I’m crying I’m giving someone else energy and thus power over me. I’ve started crying less over drama now because I see the haters as silly and I’m NOT about to give them anything over me. I win. They lose.
I’m crying now writing this and making goals. I don’t get it…I cry ALL the time. Happy,sad,stress,when I pray I cry. How do I stop this??! I cry at work, and feel as though it makes me look like a weak person. I’ve been like this since I was a kid. I remember my parents always telling me to stop crying. And still I cry.
