is crying weak ?

Question

Is crying really weak ? does it show your emotionaly weak ? and not strong enough to hold in your tears ? my boyfriend calls me emotionally weak

Answer 1

I believe that crying is not weak. It just shows that you may be emotional. Us guys have a big ego... you know its true. We want to think everything is weak, and we are its superior. Hey I know its true. That's why you wont see that many guys crying. However I believe it is better to cry.
For ex. Your boyfriend breaks up with you, but you don't cry you try to keep it in. Someone might get the wrong impression that your not upset over this and you really don't mind.
So I would say, you must have a strong personality to start crying.

Answer 2

Society make us think that crying is a weakness or that is shows that we are week. I don't know when society started thinking that way but I wish they would stop! I cry often, things just touch me and the feelings I have about a certain situation make me cry. I find that the thing that makes me cry the easiest is human kindness. You know the TV show Extreme Makeover - Home Edition, well since they started helping families in need it is very rare that I can watch that show without coming to tears, I just find it so touching what they are doing for those people that it makes me cry with happiness! I don't like crying tho cause I find it gives me a head ache! I will say tho that I am a very emotional person.

Answer 3

No crying is not weak at all. It is only an emotion that we all have at one time or another. I'm sure your boyfriend also cries at times and just won't admit it to you. You tell your boyfriend you are not emotionally weak at all, you are just a very normal person with very normal feelings.

Answer 4

No. Some people are just more capable of showing emotion then others. Just because you cry doesn't mean that you are weak, just means that you deal with your emotions in a natural way. It is good to let it out too. Bottling up emotions only leads to problems in the end. Perhaps he was raised to hide his emotions or feels he has to. I am sure he cries sometimes..he just isn't man enough to admit it. Shows vulnerability and men hate that.

Answer 5

You're boyfriend is a douchebag. I say you should sacrifice him. If sacrificing isn't your thing then you can torture or murder him. Crying isn't for the weak, it's for people with emotion. And since your boyfriend is an emotionless ********, you should get revenge on him. Trust me, you'll get use to it. Well, I hope I helped :)

Answer 6

No way! One of the reasons women live longer than men (usually) is because they are more likely to let things out & crying is one of the best ways to do that.
My mom used to make me feel like I was weak or she had "won" the fight when I would cry. So I stopped. What I got was years of depression before I heard someone elses story of how her depression was "cured" by allowing herself to cry again.
Sounds like your crying makes your guy feel guilty. That or he's just an insensative jerk. If he can't accept you for who you are, you really need to find someone else. Trust me, you don't want to be married to a guy who makes you feel inferior for ANY reason!! EVERY problem gets worse & is harder to solve once you're married!!! Not saying it's impossible, it's just that everything is bigger, more emotional & it's easier to be mean to one another. If he's already being mean to you now, life married to him would be a living hell. (sorry, but it's true.) HTH

Answer 7

Crying is not weak, for men or for women. Crying is a very human way of venting pent-up feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, even happiness. People who don't cry are very often compounding the problem for themselves. I don't know why your boyfriend would say this (hopefully he was making a poor joke), but he's wrong in my opinion.

Answer 8

Men see the world through a different set of eyes. My husband hates it when I cry. I now cry about once a year. But no, I don't think it makes you weak. I think it makes you stronger to get all of that emotion that's bottled up on the inside and turn it to tears and cry it all out of your system. Don't let him take away your ability to vent. I did and now I can't cry. So I've got lots of stress and no way to get it out.

Answer 9

No crying is not a sign of weakness. It's a way of releasing our emotions. It doesn't help that your boyfriend calls you an emotional wreck either. Happy Thanksgiving! :o)

Answer 10

Crying is not weakness. It is a normal human reaction to emotion. It is a way to grieve or let your frustrations out. If your boyfriend is constantly putting you in a situation where you're always crying then you need to leave that relationship.
